Question for you older fellas. 50+?

[aRTie02150]

As I'm in my mid 30s I've definitely noticed everything is shit. Music, entertainment, just about everything, is shit. Now growing up I remember older folks saying the same exact thing, in the 90s.

I know the older you get, the less interesting things become to you, but my question is if this past decade or so exponential shitty compared to the shit you complained about?

I really think we're at a crossroad here. Nobody wants to release funny movies that aren't woke. Music is created by AI at this point.

Only thing shitty in the last decade was this time a guy made up a story about sexting an Arab chick

Thanks for the call.

Its really common now for young people to listen to old music and old movies, so I think its true that things truly just suck now.

Modern pop culture is garbage because it's forced on people by big business instead of getting popular organically, but if you do some digging there is a lot more talent out there. Except for comedy.

 

[HotDogJoe]

Everything being so easily accessible takes away a lot of the enjoyment of things. You practically have to make no effort to get any album or movie now. Then there's all the comic book movies being pumped out constantly and all the woke faggotry.

I'm so glad I didn't grow up in this faggot era.

Music in particular is generally an expression of youth culture. It’s harder to get into new music the older you get. It’s near impossible to look at young mumble rappers with tats all over their face or autotuned cakefaced broads shrieking over a banal 80s synth knockoff beat as a 30+ dude and enjoy it like the 14 year olds of today. At least back in the day music seemed to have distinct subcultures like punks or wiggers or whatever. Nowadays I’m not seeing much differentiation in the yutes. Same hair cuts, same clothes, whatever. Everything is homogenized under the glare of “influencers” peddling corporate crap.

I have some friends who are like 35 who call shit “fire” or get hyped up over “insert generic rapper’s” newest album. It makes me sick.

I knew I had officially become Abe Simpson when TikTok came out. Been on message boards since before Napster, used ICQ, MSN, Facebook, even dabbled in Instagram a bit, among all the random forums I participated in. But when people started showing me TikTok vids with the endless stream of clips one after the other of a bunch of whores doing dances or douchebag guys making low effort “comedy”, ai officially tapped out.

If you didn't do cocaine in the 60's, 70's or 80's I don't wanna hear your music.

It's just staggering the decline in quality music between the 80's and 90's. And it has been a steep decline ever since.

I blame our music industry deteriorating to the levels of Ray Wilson

 

[ThePepsiColaRapist]

There was nothing new after 1991.

Lol same happened with me. I kept up with stuff over the years including message boards (which is why I love this place more than I liked Reddit) and had Instagram for about 2 weeks. Got tired of seeing pictures of people's food. Only got a Snapchat because it was and still is the easiest way to send a live video to someone else and not have it be in shitty quality, especially if you're on Android where video messages are dogshit.

I can't do TokTik at all. It's quite literally dumbing down society more than anything I can imagine.

 

[bumbum8]

I felt the same until I found that there are people my age making music. It's pretty nice.

I'm pretty sure South Park did an episode where everything everyone did sounded like shit. That's going to come with getting older no matter what. Read what the Bible says about what's new under the sun. Even Solomon was sick of everyone's shit.

Genesis sucked with and without out him. Housewife music. Phil Collins stinks too.

They were Princess Diana's favourite band. That's all you need to know about Genesis. That and Bateman's monologue.

 

[Huh?]

The world peaked in the early to mid 1990s. There's no going back now.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

There was nothing new after 1991.

Ummm how about Linkin Park and Korn? Ever hear of Akon?

The Gabriel era was decent

No, stlaker. You’re forgetting Foo Fighters, who slap.

Those are your delusions, stlaker. Prison awaits.
