It just makes me sad. :-(
I just overheard a student in the hallway:
"I listen to a huge variety of music, from like... pop to like... classic rock."
That makes me sad.
You see, I listen to that range of music as well. I can't claim to like or know well all genres of contemporary music, but I do enjoy a lot of the music played on oldies, classic rock, light rock, and pop stations.
So I'm not sad that he likes this music. I'm sad that he thinks it's a huge variety. He listens to music from, at the very earliest, 1950 to today -- about sixty years' worth. There is variety, yes, but there is SO MUCH more out there. I mean, I could say, "Oh, I listen to a huge variety of music, from Baroque to Romantic." That's only a fraction of what's out there, and that spans at least twice as much time pop to classic rock.
Well, that was all...
