This Guy Hates the Sound of Today’s Music, Too. But He Feels Like an Old Man.
From Wired:
I’m starting to sound like an old man. I’m starting to sound like my father. That’s a tough concept to wrap one’s head around as we age as parents, but it’s there and there isn’t much we can do about it. So what brought on this lamentation of age? Was it wisdom? Was it some epiphany about life that mixed with the contemplative nature of growing older and the motion in the universe?
Not even close. No, good readers, I’m starting to sound like an old man because my kids’ music sucks, and I told them so. To be fair, it isn’t “their” music. If you think about it, as I’m sure many of you have, the state of music has always been as such. There has always been mass produced Top-40 crap that has permeated the market to our constant displeasure.
“This isn’t music,” we’d lament, pulling out our deep cuts vinyl collection and dusting off the record player to prove a point. That much hasn’t changed.
