    I don’t mind because I see more kids wearing clothes with “classic” bands like Sublime and Soundgarden and Nirvana and Biggie than bands that were “classics” when I was in high school

    People thought I was weird for liking Zeppelin in the 90s.

      I see a ton of kids wearing Nivrana shirts, but not sure if it’s actually because they know who they are, or they just like the shirt (it’s always the same shirt).

        Yeah, they had teenage girls on their plane.

        And, yeah, The Kinks are better in most regards.

        But I’ve moved on and honestly don’t listen to much Zeppelin anymore.

          I was only half serious. They have some bangers but Robert Plant is not my favourite.

          As for the girls, you’d be hard pressed to find a male-dominant band from that time (or now for that matter) that didn’t have young girls hanging around. Brutal stuff.

          I tend to dislike the artist without disliking the art, know what I mean?

    Not a teenager. If you’ve kept up at all on music and listened to the stuff we did in the 90s, yeah it holds up great, but holy shit does a lot of it sound old in comparison. Like bowling for soup’s 1985 released in 2005 was only 20 years, but it has been 21 years since 2005. Time goes on, the pile of backlog gets taller.

    Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get. Even if you’re religious and believe in an afterlife… You don’t know you’re right, you have to take it on faith. So hedge a little bit and live your damn life like there’s no afterlife.

    …That doesn’t mean fucking dead deer, though.

    They were playing Viva La Vida in the grocery store. I’m like… Okay, grocery store, I get you’re trying to “cater to my demographic” since we’re the “new olds” who now regularly shop for produce, but who the fuck thought Viva La Vida was a good “millennial shopper” music choice for picking out produce and scrutinizing cereal boxes? I died inside. Sacrilegious.

    When I was in high school, the local classic rock station played hits from the 60s and 70s. Now it plays Nickelback.
