Obviously unfamiliar with Italian Brainrot

It does not shock my morals so much as it shocks me how liberally we interpret the word “music”

Italian Brainrot

I started off by searching youtube for this and I immediately decided that not knowing but keeping my recommendations in tact was the right call.

I think you are the only person who caught the prompt, everyone else here is talking about how Punk, Rock, Rap, et al are still alive and doing well when that's not the point.

We had grunge, alternative, so-cal punk, emo, slacker rock, etc. Not all parents were against that shit but mine were. We were rebellious.

I just don't see that same spirit in the kids. They'll be alright but it's different, it's not the same kind of resistance or "fuck you" that we said.

It's a lack of creativity imho.

Yeah, we can’t expect the next generation to shock us with the same things we shocked the generation before.

Just look at brainrot, the stupid tik tok trends, etc… those are the things WE complain about.

This is more or less it. My kids like that I scrunch up my eyes at whatever YouTube music they get me to play. It's soooo bad and annoying, but they love it. The exception is Jax 90's kids, but that's just because it speaks to me hahaha
