Why are you aging us so fast?! :P <br /><br />Don't worry. Our generation won't be lost or a faded memory. We are making history too.

Grunge, flannel, angst, and yes, even Phishheads get a bad wrap now, but you can only imagine what a welcome relief they were from the "greed is good" plastic music of the late 80's. What happened next was inevitable. Good things get commercialized, marketed to the masses, and lose their way. Once you can buy the look/sound at the mall, the music is on its way out. <br /><br />I hope that Florence and her compatriots are the vanguard of something most excellent.<br /><br />So stop shaving your legs, put a wrap in your hair and do a little noodling...oh wait, that was my generation....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028895511011262662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041469098517165988.post-71653050792294872782011-01-01T11:11:08.700-08:002011-01-01T11:11:08.700-08:00jesus michael. write a book about it why dont you....jesus michael. write a book about it why dont you.sjthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879702041821489331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041469098517165988.post-4109370181614461632010-12-31T01:23:51.211-08:002010-12-31T01:23:51.211-08:00"Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
W..."Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard<br />When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard<br />Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6<br />Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6"<br /><br />Yes, you are correct, music has not been the same since long before the assassination of John Lennon in 1980. And I do agree with you, whole heartedly, that Florence is amazing, and "Dog Days Are Over" is my guilty pleasure song I play in my car when no one is riding with me. However, you're overlooking the talent of hip-hop stars such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Eminem and of course, Jay-Z. Their lyrics tell stories, they rhyme, they are fulfilled with similes, and they are mainly produced by themselves. The creativity in their lyrics is understandable, unlike the words of the flower generation. "I Am The Walrus" great song, what the does that mean? "Fancy" produced by legendary producer Swizz Beats, clearly about independent women that make a substantial amount of money that don't rely on a man for finance support. Also, a great song. The music of this generation will leave a huge mark on society. These hip-hop moguls have maintained successful album sales for an entire career. <br /><br />Lastly, are generation will not be remember as the worried fat assses, rather instead we'll be forever remembered as the internet/social network generation that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in search of weapons of mass destruction and oil.
