I never thought I would find myself in a place complaining about the “music these kids listen to,” but it seems the older I get, the worse music becomes. I do my best to stay on top of current releases and emerging artists but, call me a curmudgeon, I just think music was better back before the crippling weight of existential dread smothered any flame of passion within me.

    Joke's on TheHardTimes.

    Some of my former favorite old music is now unbearable because of Milkshake Duck issues with whoever made it. Some can ignore that; it's harder for me, especially if I re-examine lyrics and the like. :doomer:

      This is why I take a policy of knowing absolutely nothing about bands or musicians. Don't know, don't want to know. Just play the music.

        That might work until a hair band goes "SHE'S ONLY SEVENTEEEEEEN" :libertarian-alert:

        Or even "baby it's cold outside" :sus:

        Disclaimer: not actually a fan of either, but was just poking the argument.
