@@ivanrorick church

[@allthebanter9316]

@@ivanrorick this is a very peculiar take, what with most of what they’re preaching for in this still being within the youth culture consciousness, furthermore most of these issues aren’t particularly “fratty”, it’s pretty punk, last I checked rich white frat boys aren’t disobeying their parents and being threatened with homelessness, for example. I gather it’s more you wanted to steer a song about rebellion against the modern youth rebellion, because it’s rebellion against you now, like how this was you rebelling against your parents in the 80s/90s

The 50’s had rock ‘n’ roll and Buddy Holly the 60s had rock ‘n’ roll and the Beatles and they always were doing drugs but the 70s now that was a decade to be alive that was the decade that I went from being a teenager to a young man and we blew everybody Out the door if you ever get a chance to watch old Saturday night live with the coneheads and their mass consumption they got the idea from us partiers in the 70s because we didn’t know how to stop partying and there were always drugs.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

@@thomasshook1028 lol, yep, drugs every decade it seems. Each decade has certainly had great, great showpiece's of musical excellence. Perhaps I'm 'just getting old' , but it does seem to me that we, as a species, hit our peak, creatively & in just about every other sense, around the marking of year 1999/2000. Most music these days is just crap. O.k, it's my opinion of course. But it is shite. Take for example the James Bond theme musics over the decades; imo since the 90's they've been utter crap. Billie eilish? We'd've been better off asking kool & the gang to reform. Or Led Zep to pen something in 2 or 3 minutes....

we used to travel to away football matches, five of us in one car, when i played football in Culcheth, near Warrington and we used to belt this out all the way there... when we kicked off we were REALLY in the mood..!! Great days.. with Cush, Pete ryder, robbie appleton and mick bickett

[@thedude5599]

When this came out I was 17 years old and just graduated. Was my anthem that summer and nobody had ever heard anything like this music before. It was as ground breaking as Nirvana Smells like ten spirit. Glad I got to grow up threw the late eighties and nineties in my twenties. OMG life has been so good to me.

[@jasonkessler7321]

Same exact time frame for me too.

[@seansy59]

I was born in the wrong generation. Born in 95. Really dislike my generation and what it has become. Bring me into the 70s/80s to grow up where the music was great, everyone was always outside, people didnt easily get butthurt, and I'm not required to have a cell phone at all times just to survive or keep a job.

[@ИванСтаростенко-л4ш]

I was 17 too when I found this song yo

[@g108d7]

I was about 11 years old when my older brother saw it on MTV and bought the album license to ill. Few years later we were having big parties when our parents went away. When I was 16 I went to snowboarding camp in Canada and MCA also came for a week. We hung out a bit and even had lunch together. He was real mellow.

[@yazza2956]

Right with you! At 21 I went from small town to Portland Or- you had a chance to see Nine Inch Nails under a freakin’ bridge-we were broke-working full time-most of us in college-could go anywhere from dive bars to 5 star-you had to be careful in some places-but I remember the rare sunny day walking to meet a friend downtown-Wonderful!! Now? It is all GONE-We had the last best of it there-I feel saddened for the kids now.

[@pjohnsonXX]

@@LuigiLaker "you don't have that bad-ass as fuck guitar playing in hip-hop music" , your clearly uneducated in the matters of hip-hop so i'll school you kid. You might wanna check these out... 1. Run Dmc - Rock Box & King Of Rock 2. The Diplomats - Ground Zero & The Dipshitz 3.T.I. - Ready For Whatever 4. Young Black Teenagers - Time To Make The Doughnaugtz 5. Dmx - Problem 6. Ice - T - It Go's Off [Party People] Just to name a few...hip-hop is more than capable of using guitars when it want's or need's to. Here ends the lesson...Peace.
