I don't know. One day I woke up and suddenly wasn't really interested in 80's metal. I liked it through most of high school. But now it really doesn't turn my crank. Sure there are songs I still like to listen to but overall the generation doesn't do too much for me.
And the same day that I turned my back on 80's rock, I wanted to listen to more 90's alternative. Which just happens to be the stuff grew up listening to.
Chris and I used to be really big music buff all the way back in grade 3-5 I believe. We'd listen to 89x when we got home from school and before we went to bed. Back then after 9 or 10 they had Love Lines and Love Phones and all the sex stuff they would talk about would give us things to talk about and share at morning recess before school started. I used to listen to 89x at swim meets all the time. I'd bring my walkman, which I still have, around with me whenever I wasn't swimming. I remember the reception was always the best at Beachgroves meet, despite the fact the weather was always poop. I used to try and hopefully catch Building a Mystery by Sarah McLachlan. Times were good for music. I was too young to understand their their roles in society and the music wasn't tainted by biases and judgements.
I also heard Ahead by a Century last night while I was at work. It was nostalgic. I was never really good at remembering band names.
Does anybody remember The Squirrel Nut Zippers?
And is just me or are there a lack of good celebrity female role models? There is mostlikely the same problem for men, but I seem to notice it in the female area.
