Hee Haw and Prayers on Fire are both much better than Junkyard.

phpBB [media]The Hullabalooza episode of the Simpsons has so much extra unintentional irony now that it's a whole generation out of date.

idk if the songs are that much better, but i agree that Junkyard sounds kinda off. but those songs in the Peel sessions or live lp sound incredible

My parents are in their 60's, does that mean I'm actually in my 90's? Am I going to die soon?

I have NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK y'all are talking about.I Love YES

The 90's are our parents 60's and you're just going to have to deal with that.

I'm saying a lot of people my age (around 40) talk about the 90s the same way my parents talked about the 60s when they were about 40 and a lot of people who are around 15-20 talk about the 90s (Nirvana, Pavement, Pixies) the same way I talked about the 60s (Young, Dylan, Hendrix) when I was that age.

Let me elaborate:In 1991, Nevermind was new. Today, Nevermind is 26. In 1991, music that was 26 years old played on the oldies stations. Today, songs from Nevermind make it onto classic rock stations, but still play on current rock radio. What plays on the oldies stations? The music that the Boomers' parents listened to, or, perhaps, what the Boomers listened to when they were children. What radio considers contemporary, classic, or old is defined almost solely through the point-of-view of the Boomers. Therefore, the names mean nothing, they simply indicate some nebulous combination of genre and year range. And yet, despite the fact that the Boomers have done a good job of making time appear frozen to the observer of American nomenclature (god save their vanity), Nirvana is still old people music to the current generation of young adults. The way that most of the twentysomethings I interact with at school react to Nevermind is almost the exact same as I did when I was a kid and someone put on Roy Orbison or Buddy Holly or Elvis. Hey, this is kind of neat, I guess my parents had cool music after all. And yet we don't consider Nirvana an oldies band, even though, by a consistent set of standards, we well ought to. Bleach came out almost 30 years ago. But to the Baby Boomer, Nirvana is that new noisy music that put an end to the good 80s tuuuuueeeeeennnns. And they continue to maintain a strangle hold on American culture. My favourite moment in Star Trek 13 was when they referred to the Beastie Boys as classical, much the way we refer to the popular orchestral music produced before the dawn of the 20th century today. Classical wasn't called classical in Mozart's time (granted, a lot of what the average idiot calls classical is baroque or romantic anyway). They acknowledged that culture is always moving forward, and that, eventually, even our Boomer-centric view of older music will die... but it hasn't happened yet.

Well if I ever see an 18 yr old kid wearing a Six Finger Satellite t shirt,I'll piss my pants for fun.
