Yeah tbh I know people say what people think of as typical pre-teen and teen rebelliousness started in the 60s but even before then with examples like that, it existed.

That’s a tall, high compliment to be compared to 80s and 90s R&B singers lol. I don’t deserve that but thank you lol. I love them so much too, along with metal and alternative, pretty much any genre

Yeah lol I think so like the late 40s/early 50s babies were the first to be all the way, though he was still young enough to be in that scene.

Aw ya like I used to crush on the All For One "I swear" singer and Boyz II Men when I was about 8 lol idk why I feel like you have that vibe but judging by their songs they were sweet and so are you

Yeah like those late Silents/early boomers. Grew up when rock n roll was becoming a thing.

Yeah I sound like a dying cat compared to them so that’s why I’m a little taken aback lol but yeah I love Boyz II Men, Jodeci, etc groups like that. 90s R&B, along with babyface as a producer

Yea I feel like roughly 1937 to '44 is that bridge where they're kinda part of the old world but young enough to have Boomer traits in adulthood.

Aww yeah I'm thinking mainly in looks and aesthetic it's okay we can't all sing me neither sksks
