Oh there’s definitely new music and I avidly search it out.
I’m more coming from the culture angle. There’s hasnt been a kurt cobain since kurt cobain. Youth culture seems to just rotate between previous styles, it will be 80’s electro for a bit then punky for a bit then hip hop. But there hasn’t been a counter culture revolution in a looooong time. And that’s what all those music scenes were really rock, punk, grunge and electronic where all counter culture to start with.
Wow, and they call my generation soft…are we seriously sooking about people voting no or using the word “boomers”? I’ll give you a hint, if you play every song from the 70’s/80’s then you’re probably stuck in an era and resemble what I’d call a boomer. If you play all millennium songs you’re probably a gen y. I’m not going to apologise for being honest and I’m not going to go easy on people that can’t take OBVIOUS jokes about their crappy songs or those that get upset about the “triple m hits” thing. If anyone has any issues with what I say then speak up
Tdlr: I went to the beach today
Also what’s happening here? Rule changes? Generation discussions? What?
Gen X slacker
I wonder how much the way music is offered up has an impact on this. All those periods you talk about happened when there was still a strong focus on making entire albums, and then the punters buying those albums.
And there were limited platforms for the music so if there was a radio station like JJJ in it’s heyday or a tv program like Rage, an outlet willing to take a few risks, then the punters could connect with new sounds.
These days, it just seems like the same sort of music is dished up on all the mainstream platforms.
Shut up kid
That hurt my feelings
Go find your safe space
So given you play predominantly 90’s bands your Gen x?
Thanks for the thought. I certainly didn’t leave cause people dissed my choices - even tho @Diggers suggested I should be banned for playing my last spin of Swedish sisters playing Americana. I enjoyed trying to think up new comments to make on others’ choices, many of which were negative. So I certainly can’t complain about neg comments to me.
However, I eventually decided thread was far too time consuming for the small number of songs I would hear that were both new and interesting. But it was interesting for a while to discover various posters’ penchants - and I have a theory the blitz pun spammers are also fans of novelty songs.
I am pleased thread is still going. I also claim to be “first follower”. This is a key role in getting any group of movement going. While Diggers suggested the idea in his OP. The next few posters mocked the idea. I was first to just post “yes” - and buy in to the idea. The rest is history.
Are you in HR or Leadership Training perchance?
I don’t know how many times I’ve sat through that video for in-house gee-up/rah-rah sessions…
2 of my last 3 songs in my last set where from the past few years…but regardless I don’t get offended if you want to call me gen z, y or a. I think the problem is, a lot do.
So you’re saying the triple m hits drove you away…say it ain’t so!
I think the Gen X’s get offended when you call them a boomer. There are very few boomers in this thread.
all those posts and no votes.
the pox electronic/edm/trance was close to driving me away, but I enjoy spraying those who like it too much so I hang around.
Thankfully no. I really like the video and I think it is insightful and charming to see leadership theory applied to that situation. However, it would be a pain if presented in an academic or work situation once you had already seen it. It is victim of its own success - because it is so good everyone remembers it and only needs to see it once.
I think anyone getting upset needs to permanently leave the thread because their feelings will definitely get hurt.
Hi there
