    Dude, yesterday I heard a radio ad promoting “vintage alternative” music and it was fucking “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers.

    Vintage.

    I wanted to throw my geriatric elder Millennial ass through my windshield.

            Slanders, sir. For the satirical rogue says here that old men have gray beards, that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit, together with most weak hams—all which, sir, though I most powerfully and potently believe, yet I hold it not honesty to have it thus set down; for yourself, sir, should be old as I am, if like a crab you could go backward.

      Don’t worry, you can consol yourself with all the great new rock music being made

      Tbf, even as someone around the same age as you, I can’t even make my own. Like, purely as a hobby but it all comes out as like stuff from the late 60s and early 70s. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t make the rock/guitar music i grew up with.

      I could always drown it in fuzz or hide the guitars, like everyone else these days I guess.

      I’m just having a moan. I think its partly the emergance of rap etc. but also a generation traumatised by covid might not be into the same leary, brash rock sounds others might like. I mean, hearing it live with a huge crown thats full of energy makes such a difference. I’m hoping when there’s a higher percentage who experienced it live during those years instead, it might get better.

    If you move to the I-95 corridor NY or north you don’t need to deal with this. All the classic rock stations play Dirty Deeds and 3 other AC/DC songs and Teenage Wasteland on a loop, and have for 20+ years.

    There’s this station I’ve grown up listening to that I associate with where the “old stuff” is played (WSFM 101.7fm in Australia), and the other day I heard Welcome to The Black Parade on it, I almost fell out of my chair.

    To be fair, Linkin Park had plenty of popularity into the 2010s. Stuff is moving so fast that Gen Z or A are going hear Post Malone or Billy Eilish as a classic in about 4 to 5 years. Hell, they’ll say Billy Eilish is out of gas by the time she’s 30. Get ready for the AI avalanche, here’s a throwback remake of Harry Styles and Bruno Mars singing “Easy Lover” in the exact same style and audio quality that it was originally recorded in.

    High quality meme. First one I’ve upvoted in 5 years. For me it was when the chili peppers and pearl jam started getting played.

    When someone mentions a weird old man bothering people with his weird-old-man music and I expect it to be 70s prog rock but it’s Radiohead or Aphex Twin or something

    It sucked the first time music from my teen years made it on to the classic rock station. But it hurt hearing stuff from my 20s on there now.

    Downside of being an ageless immortal: oldies stations all play that new crap and no one plays your favorite hits from the roaring twenties anymore. NPR’s still good though.
