Don't worry. You guys are still the dumb, irresponsible kids we all were. We forget because the whole 'responsible adult' thing takes up so much time that we forget. Since you're in your 70's and your responsibilities are done, I suggest you dig out your old clothes from that era and start raising hell again. The way I see it, when you get to retirement age, you have the right to go back to being an irresponsible nuisance and your kids will be the ones who are 'lame' and 'uncool'.😈

[@RodrigoEescobar-o4h]

Toda la razón

[@mrchristian0457]

I know that, by garbage, you're referring to a lot of the pop and rap of my generation that is truly horrid. The songs with nothing real to say, with wholly foul language, basic and uninspired chord progressions, void of all artistic ability... just remember that if you dig deep enough in modern music, and you inch away from the mainstream stuff, you can fine some truly great music. The Longest Johns, for example, write and cover sea-shanties. Wellerman is their most famous song. The lyrics tell the very sad story of whaling, and how brutal it was. Fire and Flame from their album Cures What Ails Ya immortalizes the tragedy of the explosion of the Mont Blanc in Nova Scotia in 1917. Other songs of theirs are also really good, having good messages and interesting, skillful instrumentation. One of Phillip Phillips' albums, The World from the Side of the Moon, has some really good themes about protection, love, and community, with some excellent guitar work. Some amazing orchestral stuff I can offer includes Steven Bryant's Automatic Earth, Solace, and Ecstatic Waters, or Jim Stephenson's Symphony no. 2. Sabaton has excellent historical music, about WWI, WWII, and other conflicts throughout history like the Peloponnesian Wars or the 300. There are also some really amazing love songs like I Hear a Symphony by Cody Fry and Marry Me by Train. There's this one witty, albeit simple rap song called Bassthoven, which is a play on Beethoven and involves a lot of really well-done references to Beethoven. Video games have really good themes, like Sogno di Volare from Civ 6. I could keep going but I'm sure you get the point. Mainstream music is horrible, sure, but there are some amazing songs in this time, admittedly very little of which is made by people my age, but still, there is excellent music to be found as there are excellent books and poetry to be found as there are good movies to be found in this day and age.

[@mikkelas]

im young but i love music like this. A lot of people my age dont even know guns'n'roses

[@yunuskayrasayi]

hello there (general kenobi you are a bold one ) im happy to say that im young and dont listen to garbege music it sucs the music now exept some bands but yeah most of the modern songs suc they dont know how make music they swear for nothing spesific bc they dont know what to write i hate my generation

[@nocturnalvien4907]

dont worry, some of my generation much prefer this to whatever tf 'drill' is

[@tranimal72]

One word to describe mark Knopfler/legendary.😊

[@TheRealTrulyJulie]

Not only one of the greatsst songs ever, but one of the most exciting, anticipation-building intros of all time! It’s such a looooooong, expertly crafted build, with the intermittent drum fills slowly coming to life like this huge, magnificent machine is about to awaken after lying asleep for 1,000 years… and then Mark’s half-cocked wah riff with its glorious harmonics. OMG we have finally arrived at the gates of heaven, and guess what? It’s all about microwaves and fridges over there 😂

Well actually he had to change the lyric to "Queenie" because that other word meaning sticks was not politically correct.
