Rash Generationalization

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

up to 10 years of age: know few names, don't like the music much

11-20 years of age: know some names, love a lot of music

21-30 years of age: know all the names that matter, best music. Ever

31-40 years of age: know many names; some of the music not as good but . . .

41-50 years of age: know some names, they call that music?

51-60 years of age: know few names, sneered at by folks who've kept up with the times

61-70 years of age: know 2 celebrity names mentioned in quiz shows; no idea what they do

71+ years of age: never heard of these names or music, thank the Lord for SiriusXM Classic Rewind

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Arrested Development. The generalization for up to 10 fits me my entire life.

Maybe you didn't actually like music as much as you thought you did.

GAH!

I do think for many people, and confess it happened to me, the genre of popular music that replaced your personal "best music ever" (actually a misnomer as I think most of us, usually adolescents, believed it would last forever and get better and better) became something in the "they call that music?" realm. However, as we matured, popular music changed again and while it never equaled (or approached) the music of our youth, we began to appreciate it. And right now there are so many genres of music encompassed by the name "popular music" that, unless you just plain refuse to (or really don't care for music that much), I believe it's very difficult to not find some that you like (or at least don't hate). I love listening to my old albums (some vinyl, some remastered CDs) and can even pick and choose party play lists on Alexa, but there are some recent things I like and others I don't mind.

I will admit, however, that I am far better at knowing the new song names and lyrics than the names of the artists; my patience for keeping up with that part of "popular culture" pretty much ended when popularity became and industry; I know a few (usually because of my daughters), and recognize some, but that' about it.

I'll let you know where I am when I get to be 51--in 20 years or so. :lol:

I don’t even bother trying to talk music with younger people I’m sure I would get some sneers lol.
