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.

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.

It’s so wild to me that Nirvana is old, that I’m old.

I heard the older folks say that I would wake up and be old one day and it would feel like barely any time has passed. “Young people will treat you like a dinosaur and you’ll still think you’re 25.”

I just can’t believe it.

Time has slipped through my fingers. Everything I put off a week ago was actually thousands of years ago now.

30-40 has been a month or so.

I heard the older folks say that I would wake up and be old one day and it would feel like barely any time has passed.

I'm almost 60 and I feel more like I should be 100 or so. I've had many different careers and technology has changed so much that I feel I've lived through multiple lifetimes. I think people who do basically the same thing every day (and night) over and over again, with the same people, tend to perceive life as flying by because there's no real difference between one day and the next.

You’re just lucky. I too feel like I’ve lived through multiple lifetimes. They all went by in a flash.

I’ve been hard on my body and mind though. I’m a dumb hillbilly who started having kids when I was 16. I spent a decade as a functional heroin addict. Functional because I have family that gave a damn about me and I’m so antisocial that I had the discipline to have a week’s supply and not burn through it because the thought of dealing with people was enough to make me pause (mostly). Otherwise I would have been in the gutter with everyone else.

I’ve been through the wringer. Maybe that’s part of it. I don’t know.

Life is funny.

Oh yeah. Last year, a local garden center had a sign up that said, "Thanks for 50 great years! Founded 1973", and I thought, "Wait, that can't be right - because then I'd be getting close to 50...ahh fuck."

We were getting supplies for my sister-in-law's 50th birthday a few weeks ago, and my wife kept saying, "Well, if we don't use it, we'll need it again in a few months!" Thanks, dear.

I remember this type of discussions and the exact same arguments on Reddit, or was it Digg, way back when. Classic rock then was Phish or Grateful Dead.
Well, as a result, I've never gotten into these two particular bands, but I did start listening to music that's like 10 or 20 years older than the stuff I grew up with. In fact, only recently, I've gotten a record player and some vinyl records. Works great for lo-fi rock which is imperfect by design.

You want the Oldies station now. What once was Elvis and Hank Williams is now playing AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and all your other favorite 70's and 80's rock hits.

If you want Elvis and Hank Williams, you gotta go to the Classical station.

If you want Mozart... I don't know... Find a fancy restaurant or an elevator?
