Dis you bust out Stacy's Mom in some way when you told her things wouldn't work? If not, surrender your man card now

Pretty sure she (the mom) was one of those creepy single parents who show you pictures of their kids, which I choose to believe is to filter potential partners who might seem overly interested, and not as a two-for-one sales pitch, as if I accepted the latter was what Stacy's mom had got going on I might feel a compulsion to do something stupid the next time it happens.

Not a conversational path I felt like starting down, funny song or not. Thar be dragons.

A comedy situational comedy, you say?
To shreds, you say?

This is really sad to see. But she's been singing since the late 80s at least, right?

Actually started performing in the early 80s at bars, did Y Kant Tori Read in 87 which flopped hard, then started touring with her first proper album Little Earthquakes in 92 and basically never really stopped touring until recently, which is going to damage anyone's voice. Even though I personally enjoy the album, you really can tell the health of her voice was starting to decline with The Beekeeper in 05.
 
Getting pulled over for a burned out brake light, and the officer looks like she's just graduated junior high school.
 
Reading upthread about people listening to the “old” music of their grandparents and expecting to see artists mentioned such as Glenn Miller, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, etc.
 
Music has sucked since 2010 or so. Womanpop music is all about sex and hating men. Rappers are actual criminals now with nothing interesting to say, and the music all sounds the same with that annoying ticking noise and auto tune. Rock no longer exists.

People don’t socialize anymore. My roommate has been trying to get a date with the zoomer chick across the hall and it’s taken a month because she only communicated over text and says she’s busy all the time. All of our other neighbors do the same thing. They spend Friday and Saturday nights in their apartments docking around on their phones—and that’s how they (and their globohomo overlords) like it.

I both hate and enjoy it, me being young and all. Approaching a woman, in real life, is harder for me than to shout "NIGGER" at a BLM riot. Having the barrier of a phone, or any form of text based conversation, allows me to talk to women who willingly put themselves out there, and not ones that would rather see me hanged off the nearest tree. If you're a fucking loser loner, the only other people online are fellow loser loners. - I've met my girlfriend through this. She's very nice. We do still prefer to see each other face to face and do physical things, like cook for one another. I'm glad she at least prefers doing that as opposed to just rot inside all day and play Minecraft or some shit.
 
Had to explain to a child that we used to have to practice writing in cursive when I was in elementary school.

It's pretty accurate. I would go so far as to say that both rock and metal have an identity crisis on their hands. They both play too much into the stereotypes of their respective genres that sounds all plastic and phony. Rock especially has this annoying thing where the sound, sounds way too much like it's from a southern bar. It's like country if it got heavier, it's so off-putting.

Hasn't any of these damn bands today in these genres, learned a thing or two from the bands they claim that inspired them to get into the genres? Guess it's just naming names but not taking any true inspiration. All that exists for Rock/Metal now are just cover-bands, wash-ups and phonies.

Rock mind as well not exist, the good days are behind us.
 
There's a big disparity of hairstyles between roughly kids to 25 year olds and 25-45 year olds.

I have to argue with young hair stylists about how I want my high and tight haircut. They are used to young Zoomers leaving a shit ton of length on the top of the sides and back for their broccoli cuts. Being nearly 30 and not looking haggard, I guess they assume I want a zoomer esqe cut.

This is why I understand a lot of people prefer old uncles and aunties doing their hair at local places.

I remember those cursive handwriting books we had in elementary school. This was during the early 2000s. Teachers then used to drill on us that cursive writing would be mandatory for middle school onwards.

When I entered middle school, even the teachers stopped writing in cursive. I'm surprised schools are still teaching manuscript print.
 
I'm only 28 but one thing I've thought about recently is how far technology has progressed since only 10 or so years ago. I used to be able to fix almost anything wrong with my PC, phone or whatever it may be, but recently I feel like a fucking dinosaur. I can't for the life of me understand new tech because it's all based on fucking AI or cloud services, whatever the fuck that is.

I used to help my godfather with all his tech problems because he's genuinely technologically illiterate but now I can't anymore, and it makes me sad in a weird way.

What's wrong with DMB? They're a jam band that's been multiple times more successful than Ben Folds (I like Ben Folds, too).

No one, even fans, will ever say Dave Matthews is the best singer in the world, so maybe that's what grinds people's gears. (He even acknowledged it on a recent NPR Tiny Desk concert.)

I'm sure I'm not going to change your mind about a band here; I'm just playing the devil's advocate for a moment.

Music from the same album will tend to sound the same. Plus, having unique instruments like jazz sax and a violin will tend to sound similar because they stand out.

You could say the same about Metallica.

Two months or so ago I replaced the usual commentary/podcast background noise with classical music and jazz. I used to make fun of my grandparents for listening to "old people music" (classical) so I guess this is a fitting way to find out I'm old now

I like to blast classical music in my car when I pull up next to an aerospace engineer who is blasting rap.
