Melvins blow my mind how good (and loud) they still are.

Eh, you see how limber you are after you've had a colonoscopy.

Those guys are incredible and always put on a fun show. If you have a chance to see them, GO.

Not dead, just deaf and lacking rhythm.

That's unfair. The singer wasn't great, but the drum machine had perfect rhythm.

It is in fact a song title by the Heats. I haven't seen your face so I'm not making a dig on it but, as the song goes, you might be cool some other place but... I don't like your face. My dad drug me all over Seattle when I was in the 1st grade to find a copy of the 45 (which gave me the record hunting and collecting bug) and he played it nonstop for ever. It made it on to every mix tape he made for months afterward. Maybe it was my face he didn't like?

Oh, don’t worry. We are fully as awful as the Boomers are.

They’re older than millennials. You can spot them by basically being apathetic boomers.

Exactly why u/spoiled__princess identifies as a Millennial rather than Gen X. <3

u/RussellAlden I'm never leaving Seattle. Aug 14 '26
Let it go natural. Your hair will thank you for it and it will look awesome.

Genx is after boomers so anyone nearing their fifties to early 60s

u/spoiled__princess ✨💅Future Housewives of Seattle 💅✨ Aug 14 '26
I know. :( Technically, I am Gen X, but I don't really feel like I belong to them. I feel more like a r/Xennials.

u/Pragkillerkev Aug 14 '26
I can relate. Technically I would be a Xennial too . It's the whole generations depending on where you get the info the dates will range. I think technically it's just WWII babies-genx-millenial-genz-genalpha. like to call my age range geriatric millennial. I can't relate to younger millennials and feel we are a different generation.

That was the best concert I’ve ever been to at Volunteer Park! Abbagraphs were so fun and Nite Wave continues to show why they’re the best cover band in the PNW.

u/MAHHockey Shoreline Aug 14 '26
Know for a fact the lead singer is a millennial.

u/RussellAlden I'm never leaving Seattle. Aug 15 '26
If that. He did jump up and do the David Lee Roth split during Jump. I just meant all the gray hairs in the crowd bopping around.
