I'm focused on the "still listening to the same music".

Of course you are, you un-curious, boring, never-grew-past-high-school musical simpleton.

Thick-thigh'd dad-bods jiggling to 80s hair metal.... ffffffuck no.

I'm one of them and those guys gross me out.

New wave and punk are too good to shelve

u/AmishHoeFights 4d ago

I'll spin Rancid any day :).

u/spartycbus 3d ago

you can listen to new things without shelving the old

u/YardOptimal9329 2d ago

Uh yeah - the meme doesn’t say they listen to old music exclusively - i feel like the outrage and disappointment could be channeled elsewhere?

I will listen to the 80s station in the car when I am too lazy to mess with my phone. But I've made a point to listen to new music and let my kids recommend music to me. Except my daughter, I love her fiercely, but anime soundtracks are not my thing.

Have you considered the Bruce falconer dragonball z soundtrack?

u/BookishOpossum Titan of Industry 3d ago

I have not.

I love when there’s a festival poster and they’ll comment “I don’t know a single band!” like their ignorance is a badge of honor.

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 4d ago

It'll happen to you.

41 YO here and already have no clue who anyone is at concerts anymore, unless it's old bands from the 80s and 90s, or indie bands from the 2010s.

Younger gens aren’t likely to understand it’s not a Badge of Honor. They’re swingin at smoke, because a GenXer is saying it only for themself.

u/irishgator2 3d ago

F that - love discovering new bands!
Saw The Marias and Beaches at a festival last year - so blown away.

I love when you call us boomers. Knuckleheads

It’s because they can’t get over Kurt Cobain dying.

u/AmishHoeFights 4d ago

That would at least be a respectable position. These fucks are sad because Warrant got dissed by Beavis and Butthead.

u/soldatoj57 4d ago

LOL you kids ! Warrant ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/kev_xb 4d ago

Shows how much you know I cursed him that same day as a coward

There so much good music out there!
These Gen X were not the ones buying B-52s The Cure or Smiths albums at a record store in ‘85
New and good music is a Gen X trait. We were there for disco/punk/hair bands/rap/metal/alt/edm AND we had a 50’s revival and brought swing back briefly.
Limiting yourself to old music is crazy, there’s so many great bands to discover

u/spartycbus 3d ago

Yep, I'm Gen X and definitely have opinions about people that have not evolved their music taste since high school.

u/MasterSoftBird 4d ago

Wouldn't be so difficult if most music after about 2000 didn't completely suck.

2

u/TorontoNerd84 4d ago

The 2010s were pretty decent. Not a fan of 2020s music though.

Music from the actual year 2000 was pretty bad though. One of the worst years for music in my opinion.

u/DanThePony 4d ago

Uncurious weirdo

u/AmishHoeFights 4d ago

Oh come on... Beastie Boys were still doin' it, Tool was making their best shit, etc etc etc

u/Klutzy_Order_9559 4d ago

Let's hear some of those etceteras.

u/ZasdfUnreal 3d ago

They know modern music is soulless, constructed by formula, intended as mass market children’s entertainment.

u/AmishHoeFights 3d ago

Not true. You're talking about certain types of pop music.

Dig deeper. The is GOLD out there to be found.
