    “Musicians today just don’t have talent anymore like they did when I was a kid”

      There’s a new radio station in my city - they don’t call themselves a classic hits station, but that’s clearly what they are. Their playlist is from my formative years, the 90s and 00s. It’s been a stark reminder that in spite of how I remember it, there was a lot of crap in what we listened to back then. A lot of crap. Guess I’ve had my rose-tinted glasses on.

        I’ve always put it down to selection bias. Listening to a 60’s/70’s/80’s auto generated playlist on YouTube Music will eventually run out of the hits of the era and get into the weeds. The terrible, terrible weeds.

        But according to my parents that was the hay day of music. It goes to show if you only listen to the good stuff then you’ll fool yourself into thinking that it was all good.

          Yep, plenty of bands with 1 (ONE) good song in the entire career. I made some mistakes in my youth buying an album based on a successful single and everything else was utter crap.

    The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

    If this generation is finished, then it’s the previous generation’s doing. It’s not like kids and people just entering the workforce have enough financial or political power to actually affect anything.

      In most cases they really don’t. I try to keep that in mind and make my best effort as I push toward my 40s to remember that it’s not my world anymore and try to keep caught up on things.
      It really bugs me seeing my dad, who used to stay on top of new tech and try to keep up with things, just give up and not even try to understand things anymore. Adults just don’t remember what it was like to be teenagers when they get into their 30s and 40s.
