My Generation Is Doomed

mindsibass said: If by "this generation" you mean the people in high school and college now, then I would not say you're "doomed," but I will say you are living in a time period when most of the music that is pushed on you by mainstream radio, TV, and the Internet TOTALLY sucks. I grew up in the 70's, and I personally endured the vapid music of the 1980's, which now has sort of a romanticized chic-ness to it (at least, among those in my generation, who are now in their mid 30's). I really hate to say it (because I fear that I am starting to sound like my Dad), but today's popular music is mostly total unlistenable crap. The whole "emo" movement is so overdone that I want to scream every time I hear any of these new cookie-cutter bands on the local modern rock station. These jokers are as bad as the hair metal posers of the 80's... only the new breed like to act like they are all brooding and serious ("I'm soooo emotionally scarred..." WHATEVER). At least the idiots in the 80's were all about having fun. There are a few "mainstream" bands today that are worth listening to... I really like "Death Cab for Cutie," but most of the garbage that the major labels push is not even worth the effort to steal. OK - you can have the soapbox back... ;) (5/15/2008)
