    I just talked to my friends 17-year old. He told me his favorite bands were Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots.

    Those were my favorite bands at that age. Is that a sign I'm getting old? Shouldn't he be listening to Gersploosh and Skizzglotch and other bands I don't know about, making me feel old? That's the usual situation when asking teenagers about their music taste.

    I don't feel old, I feel bemused.

    • I googled those bands...oey_oey
    • lol @ Gersploosh ... nice South Park refRamanisky2

    • ^ lolzRamanisky2
    • Maybe doesn't actually like those bands but just bought the tshirts at Primark! ;)microkorg
    • Inviting throwed stones in more than one way: I only appreciated Nirvana in my 30s, and it was only the major key renditions.garbage
    • It makes them sound like Polaris and it's great. The rest of those bands are shit.garbage
    • https://www.youtube.…garbage
    • ^ You’re telling me Alice In Chains is shit. Nahhh son.Ramanisky2
    • My 13 yo son loves Nirvana, Weezer, Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, The Smiths and The Cure. Possibly because those are some of his mothers and my favorite bands.fooler
    • @rams They were always on the shit radio stations, and they sounded like Creed to me. That whole genre is not my bag at all. To each their own.garbage
    • ^ I’ll respect that.Ramanisky2
    • A century of commercial recorded music has gradually eliminated any connection between music and a broader culture. It's now just hyper-individualism.nuggler
    • my kids are now about 21 and 18... and both love The Cure, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Cocteau Twins etc etc... good music llves forever i guess :)exador1
    • Nirvana major key renditions in the 90s? All of their albums were in the 90s. You don’t appreciate them? None of those bands are shit.monospaced
    • I don’t understand. You like them only when someone else fucked up their music in a totally shit remix? Jesus Christ.monospaced
    • Calm down your hard-on about me you geezer. It's like you aren't able to hear an opinion without going full Karen.garbage
    • Also Nirvana's best song is a cover, so I don't know why you're getting your panties in a wad about a chord-shift.garbage
    • @exa Heaven or Las Vegas or bust. Your kids have good taste.garbage
    • You are a very confused little puppy aren’t you? You really have a lot to say about shit you don’t know shit about.monospaced
    • Regale me, because this little puppy will happily shit on boring music while you just get bored and defensive.garbage
    • Do you know what doesn't bother me? What I think about your taste in music. Learn from the younger, you angry old dog.garbage
    • WORLD STAR!jagara
    • Get your flip phone out. I'm always amazed at how much this dude hates me. I don't even try to trigger him, and have never done anything but prove him wrong.garbage
    • “Can’t we all just get along?”

    • haha. Palimp can pull it up, I've never gone at mono once. He just can't handle the backlash Countless times I've hit him with facts and he just slinks away.garbage
    • Also pretty ripe of somebody who uses the word "retard" as an insult to call me a puppy. Seems like a grade-schooler, but thankfully I'm not.garbage
    • Just throwing my 2$ in here, but Gersploosh and Skizzglotch are both amazing band names. Cracks me the fuck up at the comments in here! Internet is serious!lvl_13
    • Gersploosh is an amazing name. And to be really clear, I'm not angry at all. It's just kinda funny that it takes a minute of my day for him to go ballistic.garbage
    • He's dumb, and I should be more mature.garbage
