>recently got into classic rock (70s and 80s) a few months back >really got into the musical appreciation for the genre >the only solace I have to share this new appreciation for the genre is a local hole in the wall bar >always have boomers in there that shout "hell yeah" or whatever when I play a song on touch tunes >feelsgoodman.jpg >tonight, a couple of girls roll in. My age. Early 20's around 22 or 23 >they shout "what is this bullshit? Talking about a highway to hell? What the fuck? Jenny, go play some This Is America! Lets turn this place up!"
Why do people my age (early 20's) worship rap culture? Its fucking terrible. I feel like no one appreciates the classics and just listen to whatever instagram tells them too. I hate going to college bars because its just Despocito or some generic soundcloud rapper. I hate people my age. I hate em.
i like rock but your not better that someone for liking shit from a different era, as for it not being popular, i don't know how you feel about punk rock, but a punker i know told me "punk is about doing your own thing" so do that,
Samuel Gomez
It's how the genre is evolving, we will probably see another resurgence of good rock at some point in our life time
Christian Turner
They fall for what the mainstream media is pushing to be popular, I myself also enjoy '70s and '80s rock
Nolan Anderson
Im anything but. But you cant argue its an unappreciated genre. Id love to see newer bands with a simular sound. But it wont happen.
Carson Diaz
I only listen to extratone.
Colton Anderson
>highway to hell user the girls were right
Mason Lopez
Proper hip hop died in the 90s. I feel your struggle. As a guy who loves hip hop for the raw emotion it can convey unlike any other genre, it hurts to see all of these new rappers rap about absolutely nothing over and over again and get famous for it. Our genres are honestly both dead, and the only thing left are the lifeless husks being controlled by the businesses to make money. The soul left a long time ago.
Julian Thomas
God, I hope youre right.
I like punk. So I like this advice.
Nathaniel Rogers
It makes me cringe when people say that "I was born in the wrong generation" crap but honestly I experience this feel too. Though, I'm more into early 2000's vidya than classic rock. People my age are playing shit like Fortnite and Spider-Man while I'm playing shit like Ace Combat, Metroid, and Metal Gear still
Chase Torres
Im with you. Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, NWA, all classics.
I was hoping for a spike in the genre when Straight Outta Compton came out. But it didnt happen. Dissapoint.
Samuel Brooks
As overrated as this is America is, I'd gladly pick a few childish gambino songs over highway to hell
Brandon Perez
i used to think like that but then i realize i live this generation and listen to that shit anyways, so who cares, i do wish i was born sooner, but thats so i could have turned 18 soon enough to buy a a bunch of historical guns
Dylan Reyes
I also am a classic gamer, user. An avid collector of Snes, N64, ps1, and ps2 here.
Luckily, we have a cult following and even a board dedicated to it. So Im not all that shook about it.
Luke Butler
I really want this to happen. I really do. You thin it it will? There was a surge of 70s culture in the 2010s, but is gone now.
Zachary Martinez
What the fuck is wrong with AC/DC? Theyre classic
Jeremiah Morales
Hip hop is popular because it's not their parents music. Even now, the genre is becoming stale and artists need new stuff to stay on top. That familiar trap hi-hat roll used to be straight fire, but now it's too overused and pretty much shit. Unfortunately you'll still hear it a lot Anyways, this exact thing we feel about older music is gonna be the same way these 20 something year olds will feel later in life. Especially since they listen to music to party, while others (like OP) might listen to music to just listen. I recommend everybody stepping out of their musical comfort zone and try something different. You might find something you like.
Jayden Parker
Is Ps2, Gamecube, and Dreamcast stuff even considered retro yet? I never visit /vr/ because these are the games I'm most interested in, so I don't think I'd fit in
Camden Diaz
pink floyd fanboy here, can confirm, modern music makes me vomit
Daniel Miller
I don't want to imply I feel superior or anything. The main thing I'm complaining about is just I don't know anyone else my age that's into this stuff, so it feels pretty isolating
Nolan Morgan
you should have been there yesterday than, i started a thread where we all just sang snake eater on /b/
Jace Brooks
Not really. Retro gamers generally consider stuff before Nintendo, Sony, and MS to be retro. but i honestly consider anything before the immediate last gen to be retro
Adam Wood
Solid advice. Im sure in the 70's, when parents heard the shit their kids listened to, they hated it. Because they grew up on swing and elvis. Its the circle of life. To go back to classic rock, Twisted Sister even makes reference to this in their music video: youtu.be/V9AbeALNVkk
Parker Wilson
>wrong generation amirite bros lmao XD
David Jackson
oh, dude, ps2 has been retro for quite a while now, which is really weird because that was only like 15 years ago right
Parker Cook
Who wrote this? Mathrock and prog are huge in the music subculture and among actual muscians. Addmitily I'm basing this on the clickbaity title alone but provided it's a sincere representation of the content of the article itself it's like they have no idea what rock even means, awareness of how genres evolve, the music theory involved, or the existance of subgenres and what makes them subgenres. All they'd really be saying is the incredibly obvious fact that the music of the 1960-1980s isn't made anymore becuase it's not the 1960 to 80s. Big shock there.
Austin Murphy
i know how that feels, but theres people out there, if you're not anxious in crowds go to a concert, they can be pretty fun even if you go alone
Dominic Hughes
Anything before online gaming is now considered retro. The rule of thumb is 3 gens ago. Soon xbox 360 will be retro and people will be nostalgic about Halo 3 custom games (already begining to happen).
Jose King
>Hip hop is popular because it's not their parents music. >Im sure in the 70's, when parents heard the shit their kids listened to, they hated it. Absolute bullshit.
Ps2 released in 2000. 15 years ago is a good estimate for when a lot of people got their hands on one though, I know I got mine Christmas 2002. But what's crazy is that just until last year they were still releasing games for ps2 because it was so popular in South America
Angel Carter
Stay rockin' friend. Glad to know Im not the only one.
- OP
How is this bullshit? This is fact.
Bentley Robinson
What games were on PS2 in South America in current day? New games? Sounds interesing as hell.
Jose King
Sure, because no parent has ever accused black sabbath, led zeppelin, metallica, or AC/DC of worshipping Satan. This guy was kinda what spread that notion around though en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Kasso
Matthew Taylor
Shut the fuck up. Thats not what this post is about at all. Its about current day not appreciating good music. Id hate the 70s and would probably be in Nam. Doesnt mean the music from that era isnt kino af.
Bentley Cooper
classic rock a shit, start listening to old game osts and fusion jazz
Wyatt Watson
I'm not a consumer of rock that old, but same. This generation is fucking awful. Music sharing thread? I found this from a video of a guy shooting a Hi Point and I think it's really underrated, despite having no vocals. I found it kind of nostalgic for some reason. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VIvsbzrdeow
Luke Richardson
To be fair, a lot of rock bands talked about going to hell and acted like they were proud of it. So thats a valid argument. Lmao
Jose Kelly
Fusion Jazz? I like Jazz too, user. Youtube link to your favorite Jazz Fusion song?
Elijah Young
Aye. Not bad, user. Reminds me of metallics or A7F. Nice taste.
Jaxson Adams
>being the greentext equivalent of an autistic rage comic
Sorry, I was full of shit. The last ps2 game was pro evolution soccer in 2014. Still impressive though, a year after the ps4 released. And I thought it was last year because I've been saying that bit of info ever since 2015.
Aiden Gonzalez
>work at a restaurant >the same "top 40" playlist is played on rewind all day >"this is a America" >"If its meant to be it'll be!" >"I like million dollar bills" >etc.
The same fucking shit, over and over again. It's like no one is capable of appreciating the music of the past, they gotta play the same shit that came out within the year over and over again. Recently my boss put on some Deep Purple, Rainbow and Dio and it was great. Doesn't happen anymore though. >if its new its good amirite XD Fuck off, faggot
Sorry I didnt put much time into it? You got the jist of what I was saying. Fuck off with you technicalities.
-OP
Jose Parker
That IS still impressive I wonder what graphics they pushed on that console with that game? Imma look it up.
Elijah Davis
>be user >just start listening to a genre of music at the age of 20 for a whopping 3 months >some old fuck gives you a good feel, this must be the right thing! >someone else with a different taste in music comes by and insults your taste in music that you got a whopping 3 months ago >WOW WHY ISNT MY GENERATION LIKE ME, TODAYS KIDS DONT KNOW I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION AC/DC FTW you are literally every teenager ever after they discover any interest. Next i expect you to join the marines and start posting patriotic shit for the first time in your life before you even reach bootcamp
Cameron Moore
Exactly my same feels being college aged and hearing the SAME SHIT every time I go out with my buds to a local bar. Like, fucking hell. Switch it up. Ill give credit to the DJs for mixing the songs in a new way. But fuck. Its not far off.
Luis Evans
I was out cruising to 50s Doo wop tonight. It was amazing.
Carson Powell
They basically just rereleased the games with updated teams. It was a very cheap way to make money off a market that loves football but can't afford a new console.
Evan Gray
Memes aside, boomer music is unironically better than zoomer bullshit
Classic rock and roll is unironically the best and most enjoyable. The time period had great harmony, original music that's even replicated today and meaningful, sensible wordings. Just take the Beatles or Queen or Bowie. It's infinitely superior to today's new age electronic bullshit.
Shut up. Any interest is a step in the right direction. Most melinials dont even give it s chance. Triggered because you love Gambino?
Kevin Flores
It doesn't even have to be shit from the 70s or 80s. Could be from the 90s or early 2000s too. Those tines had good music too. I don't know why everyone insists on playing the recent stuff and only the recent stuff
Logan Davis
The 2000s was full of horrible music
Ryder Jackson
ya as long as you cut out the massive pile of garbage out and only play the top music. You seriously going to tell me dog police is a good song? 20 years from now people will be complaining that their generation of music isnt good and that lil pump was a god
William Long
zoomer here i agree desu
Nathaniel Roberts
>le wrong generation meme
The nice thing about contemporary music is there's more of it all the time. Enjoy not being able to relate to life experiences of other people your age - remember these boomers are coasting on nostalgia and will be dead soon; when you're their age what will you have?
Plus, classic rock is a radio format, not a genre, and it's cancer desu. Bands with a catalogue spanning decades reduced to the same three songs every few hours by your local Clear Channel station. Download full albums if you really care so much.
Ayden Price
Not true. That spike of Blink and Less Than Jake, ska like The Mighty Mighty Bossatones. All good ass music.
Andrew Brooks
Pop Punk is an ugly scar on music history
Angel Perez
im not making fun of you gaining an interest im making fun of you being EVERY TEENAGER EVER >IM SO UNQIUE GUYS BOOMER MUSIC FTW >why cant kids my age get X i was so born in the wrong generation you fags are literally in everything like some anoying bird who won't ever shut your god damn nigger mouth. >you join the marines I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE MY GENERATION DONT JUST JOIN THE MILITARY LIKE ME IM SO HARD WORKING >you listen to classic rock wow ac/dc was so much better than todays music... girls just don't understand a good song... >you go for a jog once everyone should run! running is what humans are meant to do! we shouldn't just be sedentary you should all be runners like me!
you are just an attention seeking faggot
Isaac Ross
Living easy, living free Season ticket on a one-way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I would rather do Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too I'm on the highway to hell On the highway to hell Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell No stop signs, speed limit Nobody's gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody's gonna mess me around Hey Satan, paid my dues Playing in a rocking band Hey mama, look at me I'm on my way to the promised land, whoo!
Ethan Peterson
cause rock is dead you old boomer. Metal is still well and alive though grandpa.
Joshua Collins
Agree to disagree. Its a nice sound when in the right mood. But go on listening to whatever the fuck you like. Why even enter this thread?
Sebastian King
>he picked what he liked to "relate to people" what a fag,
Why do I want to relate to life experiences that suck?
Chase Rogers
Overplayed doesnt equal quality, user. Theres a reason its popular. But still, Metallica, Gun n roses, Twisted Sister, Motley Crew, all underplayed and underappreciated
Jayden Phillips
I always thought that music is supposed to be listened to mainly for enjoyment. Doing it solely for social interactions is a gamergirl tier. And you also sound like a "le born in the wrong generation" kind of elitist guy.
Jason Martinez
why are you such an attention seeking nigger, why do your type literally do the same thing in every fucking interest ever? Why am i mad? Because you are as fucking original as grass. Nobody gives a fuck if you like ac/dc or classic rock and yet your type just fucking skips about all god damn day moaning like a retarded bitch on meth. Why can't my generation get my music taste that i only discovered 3 months ago? You scream like every fucking nigger whos discovered any music genre ever. and its always the same shit to >ur dur nigger bongos brainwashing >ur dur im high iq >ur dur im so unique its the same stupid fucking nigger shit every god damn time. WHY CANT YOU POST SOMETHING NEW. FUCKING ANYTHING AT ALL.
Hell even if you retyped your shit in spanish at least it would be something less repetitive but no you fucking copy paste the same old shit like the worthless god damn parrot you are. make an original post make an origainl post make a fucking original post
Wyatt Young
Times change, OP. Just as jazz/big band lost its mainstream status in the 60s and 70s, rock is going the same way. No one is stopping you from listening to rock; just enjoy what you like and ignore the popular culture. Forget about the normalfags.
Joshua Barnes
I wasnt trying to come off as that, but I agree. But the bar I go to you listen to for enjoyment and to enjoy your drink along with it. Not to dance. Theres still no one my sge that prefers this nightlife style. Maybe I should try a local grunge bar? Then maybe they might like simular music. Its worth a shot. Maybe Ill meet a girl with the same opinions as me.
-OP
Evan White
To be fair everyone says Millennials have to be this way or that way. So if they aren't like that maybe they were born in the wrong era.
I do that in the first place anyway. Idk why I care. I shouldent. Good advice, user.
-OP
Colton King
>tfw rarely listen to music at all Is there something wrong with me? Occasionally I'll listen to a song or theme but I never followed music at all nor can I name more than a couple artists.
I call it overplayed because theres so many different great bands but zoomers immediately think of ACDC when they think rock. Those dumb roasties didn't, but most zoomers have heard ACDC I think.
Nathan Lopez
>y-y-you're on the wrong side of history! :^)
Landon Jackson
Calm the fuck down and ignore the thread if you dont like it. Jesus christ. Theres plenty of trap theeads for you to shit post it. Youre torturing youself on purpose.
And saying nigger a shit ton doesnt make you edgy. It makes you cringy. Try again.
Wyatt Flores
>not becoming a boomer before your 20's I was ahead of your time user. God those where the days
Brandon Anderson
>tfw only listen to marches and folk music You have no right to complain about people not sharing your taste, OP.
Jose Stewart
It was an easy way out to describe the theme of the thread. Dont look too much into the actual song played. It was more the tone and genre that was played that was the major annoying part of it.
Ryan Stewart
>Metallica, Guns n roses, Twisted Sister, Motley Crew >underplayed and underappreciated
17 and already boomer (call the mods i don't give a fuck)

at my school a bunch of us learned panzerlied, and erika to be edgy,
Isaiah Lopez

The only regret I had with that post was the fact that I misspelled Metallica due to being drunk. Disrespectful on my part. Otherwise, fuck youself with an American Challenge dildo.

This thread gives me alot of hope for when i finally get off my ass and go to uni.
