“Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of baby boomer childhoods.”
Funny thing is for me…
Christmas music is like 30% Traditional, 2% new picks and 58% snowy video game music… and 10% Phineas and Ferb.
My favorite Winter-y video game music has to be:
- Winter Tundra - Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage
- Freezeezy Peak - Banjo Kazooie
- Ice Cavern - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Kinda sounds like something from the old Rudolph special.)
- Ice Cavern - Spyro the Dragon
And for P&H, We’ve got S’winter and I know it’s cheating but the Let It Snow cover isn’t all that bad either. And I really don’t hate Christmas.
The snow biome theme from Terraria is an absolute gem.
Don’t forget In a Snowbound Land from Donkey Kong Country 2
Arguably the best track in the game. They only used it a couple times, and it only shows up in some of the last levels.
You see valentines is torture and my birthday is a mess, New years a lot of noise and arbor days a pest
Video game christmas song are bangers, don’t know why.
Killing floor 2 has a really good metal/synthetic cover for carol of the bells
Payday 2 had a joke xmass album,the whole thing is great but this one is my favorite one.

Are you saying that industries such as the automotive industry exploit nameplates born in the 60s? I thought the Charger, Challenger, Bronco, Mustang, Blazer and Ford F truck were all original names and designs.
Fuck boomer Christmas. Claymation sucks. Charlie Brown is boring. Frosty should’ve been left to melt. And ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ bombed at the box office for a reason. Just because it was dirt-cheap for TV stations to air during the Holidays in the late '70s/'80s doesn’t make it good.
Lmk how your inevitable life-changing journey with a magical Christmas creature goes
It’ll have a different vibe when the starving polar bears attack
It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite movie…
I agree about Charlie Brown and the Rankin/Bass TV specials, but It’s a Wonderful Life is a great film that has stood the test of time.
Would you say everyone who likes that stuff should be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through their heart?
I’ve been wanting to remake this chart for a long time… So I made one based on the first 20 of Billboard’s “Holiday 100 most charted songs”
What about Last Christmas? That’s from like the 80s
Also Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time
When you realize that music was created by people from the silent generation.
Silent generation was before 1945, boomer from 45 till 64, the pill came out 62 no more baby boom, so tell me about the hits before 45…oh fuck you got me…
Lets look at the members of The Beatles (:
- John Lennon was born in 1940
- Paul McCartney was born in 1942
- George Harrison was born in 1943
- Ringo Starr was born in 1940
Just because the music was made during the age of the boomers doesn’t mean the people that made it were boomers.
I saw my mistake, never hit a human that agreed he was wrong
He was right so I changed the title…
Sure, but others like Santana, Michael Jackson, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna,Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osborne,Jimmy Buffet, Karen Carpenter, and Neil Young were Baby Boomers. Lots of great music from Baby Boomers
Christmas music from 90s is mariah carey, 00s consists of justin beiber and 10s consist of Ariana grande. I would take 50s christmas any day over these options
Can confirm, I’m currently on an 80s synth-pop kick.
Gen X in shambles rn
Good
gen x easily the worst music era (excluding hiphop/rnb which really came into it’s own during this generation)
Then: Vibrant creativity and authentic analog sound of the 60s-early 80s, all music was recorded with real instruments
Now: Availability and ease of use provided by computers/free software/internet meaning more music being made than ever before, plus algorithmic sorting providing exposure to only the best of the best the world has to offer.
In between: gen x oof i mean, Nickleback? really? come on
Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Radiohead, Björk, Primus… Come on
We Gen Xers also grew up during the peak of the popularity of metal.
I’d be the first to say right now metal is amazing but you have to look for it. The days of thrash metal bands filling stadiums are mostly gone except for Metallica.
i know it was a bad take oops. y’all have some good stuff for sure
It turns out you can buy some forms of love, but it’s really impractically expensive.
I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.
Black Sabbath gets to stay too.
For sure.
Zep had a few good albums. Jethro Tull. David Bowie. Pink Floyd.
But there are also a finite number of times you can listen to the same album before you start craving new stuff.
Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?
Your parents said the same about you, just as your grandparents said the same aboot your parents
People were saying the same things about the Beatles as they now say about multitudes of young bands. Now they are old people music and thus “real music”.
Music is just becoming lazier. We got from needing 70 instruments and an incredible opera singer to 6 instruments and a talented jazz singer to 4 instruments and a good singer to 0 instruments a bad singer but a lot of vocoder. I didn’t said it was bad, just lazy.
Music is more accessible than ever.
That’s a good thing in my opinion.
We’ve also gone from people needing to be independently wealthy to even think about creating great music to just needing a cheap computer. Music hasn’t gotten lazier, the barrier to entry has just gotten lower meaning there is a lot more being made across the quality spectrum.
Don’t forget Boomer movies. So many classics that we have all collectively forgotten about. Personally, I’m getting into Westerns.
