Dating yourself
pat101:
Yeah the Nirvana on classic rock stations is beginning to piss me off, though I didn't grow up with it (I'm 18) I still hate it, I mean it's clearly not classic rock. Though I don't really have to worry about dating myself to badly yet.

It's not a redefinition of Nirvana as classic rock; it's a redefinition of a radio station format still called "classic rock" to include Nirvana so that more younger listeners will tune in. Why do you think one in three songs is always Pink Floyd?

Just be happy that you didn't have to grow up in the musical wasteland that kids today are growing up in (in the mainstream, at least).

They're only growing up with it by choice though... I could be one of those kids, and yet I've branched away from the mainstream into better things, and any of them could do the same. I'm sure there are some who may honestly not know that there is better music out there, but that would be a ver small minority. The rest just tend to be unwilling to go after things not already spoon-fed to them on the radio or MTV/Much Music.
Coonstar:
This may be unrelated, I had just turned 17 this year but I sometimes feel like I know more about 80's music (which I know very little of) compared to some of my late 20-something cousins.
I mention Echo and the Bunnymen, and the Smiths, and what's the first thing that comes out of their mouths?
"What? Is that another one of your anime shows?"
I couldn't react.
