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.
