Mt nephew just told me that Green Day is just there so middle-aged people, meanibg me, can think they are still hip...

And here I thought it was because they were good...

Who knew????

1. And how old is this nephew?

Tell the young whippersnapper to step off!

2. Did you think it was named for you? And are we talking about the day or the band?

5. The band...

12. My daughter loves the band, and I think they are boring.

So your nephew has it backwards, or my daughter does. :)

6. Tell the little punk to get off your lawn.

7. He explained that they are not punk...

Now I know from punk as I remember the days of Pere Ubu, Trent Reznor before he became Trent Reznor and all the other punk bands that were screeching their way through Cleveland's underground back in the late 70's and early 80's...

Ah, but then I sobered up.

To tell you how I bad I was back then, the Punks thought I drank too much...

8. Every middle finger flipped by a kid at his elders' culture

is a spoke in the wheel of awesome. :thumbsup:










Also, Green Day are not good.

10. At least the newphew's elders HAD a culture. What's today's gibber going to amount to?

That's the danger; how far finger flipping becomes... nothing awesome about the wheels flying off and crashing...

9. Wow. What can you say in return about his generation?

:evilgrin:

Then again, I'mm too busy defending 80s music videos because people say "it's the lame 80s, yadda yadda yadda" and trying to teach the cretins what it was like AT THE TIME and to think of useless shit and concepts called "perspectives" or "facets". It's not just their own myopic mindset of now vs then, it looks old now but what did it look like when it was made... each era has its own ups and downs, and today's broken record of cloned crap certainly isn't going to hold up.

On the plus side, today's brats must really rail on 60s music; about good Shepherds and thyme and peppermints and how "retarded" all that sounded...
