The worst part about Trump not being president is how disengaged everyone will now become. Irs sickening.

    What gets me is, my dad too but not just him, when they say "they don't make it like this anymore." Yes they fucking do. People still make classical music. They make 80s sounding music. They make folk music. They make jazz, rock, metal, soul, blue grass, R&B, and everything else still. It's in crystal clear fidelity. You just don't look for new artists in even a single Google search because you don't actually give a fuck about the music. You just want stadiums to blast it during a time out at sportsball. You're upset about some other status symbol of music, because multi-millionaires have 8 songs they cycle through for high profile events and your favorite jingles only account for 2 of them now, 40-50 years later.

      What I really don’t understand is people my own age having the same purist ideas of music as old white boomers. I like a lot of classic rock and shit, but the purist ideas that I’ve heard espoused by peers in middle school, high school, even college, about rock music from the 60s, 70s and 80s having some vague quality which makes it superior and more “real” is so surreal. Like, y’all didn’t even grow up with this shit, it was made at the least like 10 years before you were born. I know there’s definitely some racism and homophobia that goes into these opinions, especially for certain genres. But there’s definitely more to it. They wanna be suburban dads so bad.
