Isn't it obvious that they vote? Look at who's running things. A lot of them are a reflection of the idiotic electorate.Now that I'm 50 I kinda think nobody under 30 should be voting for shit except student council. LOL
Nah, I'm sure that there are parental record collections.But, most of this generation probably knows squat about playing an LP and they'd probably look at a turntable as an instrument used by DJs rather than as a component originally meant to play records.And for those who do know what a turntable and vinyl are, they're more likely to play records using a piece of crap Crosley groove scraper than on a proper turntable connected to a proper stereo system.
This reaffirms my belief that the Beatles will be a footnote in musical
history. No surprise, they are about as musically significant as Stephen
Foster, which I'm sure even fewer of these young people could identify.
Popular culture is always forgotten. When it comes to 60's culture, that's
a good thing.
You need to do some research on them and see what they have done. They also did so much new stuff in the studio that was never done before. they changed music. Look them up!
OMG, kids today are fucking retarded. Older music was WAY better than
today's shit which is just auto tuned crap. If you don't know who Jagger
was you're officially an idiot.
#Idiocracy is here. Jagger is "Moves Like Jagger" and McCartney is a Kanye discovery. May Keith Richards outlive every one of these fucking idiots. GET OFF MY GODDAMNED LAWN
If you step away from rap stuff. Some of the new music is actually really good, and not auto-tuned. Bands like Muse and Blue October are exceptionally good.
And this is why I hate my generation....Billy Joel sang Living on a Prayer?
The stupidity is rampant in today. Hey idiots, I have some advice for
you....especially that dumb woman who said "I don't listen to older music."
How about you actually listen to older music! Because it was actually an
art! people actually wrote different songs and it wasn't all the same
record company written, cookie cutter, talentless garbage they have
today...You actually learned something from songs. Just look at The Who for
example....meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Oh yeah, because rappers weren't saying the n-word before my generation. Besides, it's black culture, and something white people rarely understand. Why don't you try looking past the raps about money and bitches and instead realize there's a whole genre of conscious hip hop out there. And intelligence? My generation is consistent with all other generations in iq scores. Not to mention the fact that youth crime has fallen to record lows. The two generations before us far outpaced us in violent crime.
+Anders7323 Your generation outscores every generation when it comes to acceptance of race, sexuality, and gender?Give me a break. You have dumb rappers calling each other the N word all the time. But even if your generation does outscore the previous generations in acceptance, you fall extremely short in intelligence. THAT is a fact.
+James Valenti yeah, how terrible. Just as bad as the first generations of America, believing they could just murder and slave their way across the continent because it was their right. Give me a break,even the generation before us was worse, mindlessly following Bush into Iraq. My generation outscores every other in every poll when it comes to acceptance of race, sexuality, and gender.
+Anders7323 I'm sorry, Verboten is right...todays generation is more narrow-minded than any other generation....just think of how much they like selfies....damn selfish, narrow-minded bastards.
+Geheimish Verboten ahaha! Which generation are you from? The one that lynched without repercussion, the one that minstriled blacks in the 80s, or the one that set LA on fire?
+Anders7323 Ok lets look at the Billboard top 10 hits of 1967:1: To Stir With Love by Lulu2: The Letter by Box Tops3: Ode to Billie Joe by Bobby Gentry.4: Windy by The Association5: I'm a Believer by The Monkees6: Light my Fire by The Doors7: Somethin' Stupid by Nancy Sinatra8: Happy Together by The Turtles9: Groovin' by The Rascals10: Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie ValliThe first song was part of a soundtrack to a movie with the same title....which is about the social and racial issues of working at an inner city school. Certainly not meaninglessThe Letter is a love/war protest song. Again, not meaningless. Ode to Billie Joe is a story of how and why a guy committed suicide. Not meaninglessFor the most part, the rest are basically love songs....Not meaningless. Compared to today where its all about breaking up, shooting, killing, popping pills, doing drugs, and being involved in a gang. THAT is meaningless. Yes some songs during the 60s but nowhere near as bad as today. As for Green Day, They may be using riffs and chords that have been recycled, but their lyrics are completely original and more meaningful than all of Kanye West's songs put together....They actually write songs about how our country is becoming a police state, and how our government is continually passing legislation to screw the people over. Again, this is not meaningless. This is original thought, and by far more awakening than 95% of so called "artists" today.
+James ValentiLook at the billboard top 100 for any year in the 60s. The vast majority is meaningless, pop novelty garbage. And no, Green Day is not original. They're a pop punk band using chords and riffs that have been recycled thousands and thousands of times.
+Anders7323 Green Day is more modern.....but at least they are original. The only people who say Green Day sucks are people who have no idea what is going on.....at least they are original...music today is all the same cookie cutter gang banging, computer and record company generated garbage. Did I ever say pure? Was all music back then meaningful? No. But the majority of it was.....Today it is completely reversed. The good artists and albums that produce actual art are completely underground, but the cookie cutter garbage is mainstream.
+James ValentiAnd here you are comparing pop and rock (btw, I'm pretty sure Green Day is a modern band, and most people and critics thinks they suck). You think all music back then was meaningful and pure? lol, see any Englebert Humperdinck song.
+80sVidLoverHaha, really? More narrow-minded than the generation full of racism, misogyny and homophobia? Sorry, but look around, my generation is FULL of people that listen to old music, it's ridiculous. I can't count the amount of times I've seen Pink Floyd and The Doors T-shirts. Do you really think the Beatles generation was listening to music from the 30s or 40s? Yeah, right. My generation is probably more open to music from the past and present than any other generation before it.
+Anders7323 Music is, indeed, subjective. But, it can be a very good gauge on ones tastes.And, there cannot be anything truly new unless you can know and understand the history of what you're doing. That's how meaningful steps toward progression of the craft is done.
+Anders7323 Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, gangster rappers.They're all garbage. Same cookie cutter shit.....no meaningful lyrics where you might actually learn something. Compare that to Green Day....They have 2 whole albums in just the last 10 years that have a powerful story line and message. Get real
+Anders7323 It may be subjective, but today's youths are so narrow minded they won't even TRY and listen to something different. How can you not have ever heard about Springsteen???
Music is subjective. I've tried listening to older music and I can't stand most of it. Do you think ALL music today is pop garbage? Jesus Christ, the internet exists, that's how music is found today. How about you get off your ass and look for new music rather than stuff that has already proved its worth.
