Itt: people realizing that they are entering the "this generation of music sucks" phase of their lives
I hated hair metal in the 80s when I was supposed to be really into it
Let's be real: it was pretty fucking terrible.
I felt only vindication when I found out how many hair metal bands were full of kiddie creepers to match the lyrics of their songs.
2011-2015 Was pretty awful when it came to music ngl.
Nowadays there's some decent stuff coming out, but maybe the difference lies in me being a kid who was forced to listen to top 40 Radio when riding the car with my parents vs being an album listener nowadays.
But I suppose the "hey let's party and have fun!" era was particularly grating to my ears, considering I lived in Italy during the crisis era German plunder of southern Europe.
That's crazy talk.
Peak pysch rock revival era.
Am well into middle age and 2011-2015 there was some amazing music. Every era has stuff you'll find annoying and stuff you'll find brilliant.
The thing about the "this generation of music sucks" phase is that we're the first generation to enter it since ClearChannel media monopolized the airwaves and pushed out any music that isn't guaranteed to be profitable.
