Odal:
Faye is kind of reminding me of those people who think the best music was in the 90s and there'll never be better music (I'm sure it's the same for other decades too).
[rant]
And it's the people who only get their music from the glowing box in their living room, which always sucked anyways- but no wonder they thought the 90s were better. Over time mainstream music only gets worse and worse. So it's natural that they liked the 90s since that's when the music from the glowing box was less worse than it is now in their lifetime. Sometimes I just wanna shake people like this... their mainstream sucked in the 90s and it still sucks. They need to go on the fuckin' internet and do some research if they're going to complain that music these days sucks. The've got the best technology humans have ever had to find good music now, and people are still staring at a box which tells them what to like and complaining that it sucks.
[endrant]
And yes, I know Faye wasn't talking about that exactly, but she is reminding me of these people.
Tova:
"You realize that officially makes you OLD, right?"
He says that like it's a bad thing.
rje:
Well, I still like my 90s mainstream music better than the mainstream music I've heard today, even though I don't watch the glowing metal box anymore. I mean en total, there's plenty of musicians out now I like, but I get less all encompassing enjoyment than I did back then.
Not to say there wasn't stuff back then that utterly sucked ass. I mean there always was, always will be. Maybe it nostalgia goggles, I can admit that. However - I will believe with every fiber of my being that the discovery of auto tune was a blight upon the musical landscape. A BLIIIIGHT
Border Reiver:
Yeah, the available alternative to getting old really limits future options.
My oldest started off likeing similar music to what my wife and I were playing in car - but we had to stop certain albums as we really didn't want him singing the Pogues when he went off to school. Now he wants pop tripe like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas mixed in with his CCR...
As for beer, I know I've come across as someone quite reasoned on this before, but lets face it most mass produced beers (Molson Cdn, Coors, Labatt's Blue, Heinekin, Carlsberg, Fosters, etc.) are bland and featureless beers designed to appeal to the masses by the virtue of being inexpensive and inoffensive. I've had really good beers from many places in this world (there are definitely some places though where I would recomend that they stick to other alcoholic beverages - I'm looking at you France).

Nobody can label you old.
You GOTTA EARN IT!
