Goddamn It, Generation... Whatever We're On Now

[Loyal]

And you see that tag up there? The "Seil" tag? Making it a thread that no one takes seriously ever ever ever ever?

The "Seil" tag isn't explicitly a "this topic isn't very serious" tag. There's a particular reason it was named after you, and that ain't it.

I'll just leave it at that.

Anytime someone bases their entire ability to use grammar on manga scanlations, I feel like punching something face-like.

We sure as hell didn't have that back in the day.

You know what sucks, I had to give a training session at work recently on informing people that making e-mails using text message slang and what not is unprofessional and you shouldn't be doing that.

I seriously had to do that and tell anyone if they send out e-mails using that style they would lose their e-mail access for the company. I felt so old.

Justine Beiber is this teenage girl, I think she sings? I dunno, I was at K-Mart Saturday and was looking at the magazine rack and there are currently 5 magazines dedicated to her, so she's probably popular right now, I guess.

Lev, I'm a little out of the know, too, but everybody knows Hollister is a clothing brand, as well. I appreciate your distress that they seemed more interested in talking about their clothing than hobbies or things they enjoy, though. I'm not sure what is so special about Hillister, though. There is also this one called Aeropostale that was popular last year (?) with kids with parents willing to buy them expensive clothing (I originally wrote "rich parents" but that is probably another bracket of spending above that involving Land's End (? I think is what rich people buy) or something like that)).

Frankly I'm a little more annoyed that current parents insist on bringing their kids (and I mean little kids, not 15 year olds) to hard-R movies, a trend I first noticed when I went to see Watchmen which continued up through Machete on Friday.

hahahahahaha drop the "e" in "Justine" and drop the "s" in "she" and you've got it right. But yeah, he's just another decent pop singer that really only get tons of popularity because of Youtube and because of the fact that he's really young and people like my friend squeal over "cute little kids".

Goddamnit, Seil! I was all set to get my old man rant pants on, and then I started listening to the music and was like, "Oh, hey this isn't too bad" and then I watched the video, and I was like "aw fuck..." and THEN I started reading the thread, and now all I want to do is bitch and complain about..... about..... *checks a page back* Token being a moron because he's too young to realize he's a moron.
But I digress.
I hate kids who drive Nissan 300zx's because they look cool. It's a 20 year old car asshole.. you don't have the money, or the know-how to fix it when it goes tits up on you, and you're just going to wreck it.
Buy a Civic and leave the classics to people who can appreciate them.

Kesha Has A New Song Out with more Autotune than ever. Okay - I listen to a bit of Kesha. (No effin' dollar sign, her name is Kesha. A dollar sign is not a pronounceable letter in the alphabet.) But kids, there's a whole lot of really good unknown techno, if you're looking for an auto-tuney sound. There's a whole lot of regular music, what with Minus The Bear, Sia, Hail The Villain, THe John Butler Trio... Whatever you're into. Kesha has a few passable hits... but do you really want to encourage her by buying her music? If you're gonna spend money on something, spend it on a movie ticket.

You goddamn kids today running around thinking you know about hating things, I tell you when I was a kid we had shitty music you could HATE! We had the Spice Girls running around dressed like a Salvation Army store threw up, and that one rapper I strongly disliked, and probably some other things that were very importantly seriously not-good! And we didn't have no fancy-pants Youtube, we had radio and MTV, and we had to listen to the same shitty song we hated forty times in half an hour, during the one half hour they played songs and not reruns of Road Rules Season Twelve: Gettin' Real On the Road, cause that was the only music we could listen to at all, unless we wanted to shoplift used CDs from Wherehouse music! That's right, we were so poor, we couldn't even afford correctly spelled record stores to steal from!

Filesharing?! Fuck you!

[Hanuman]

Truth, Eminem. IN MY DAY OUR GENERATIONS HAD LETTERS

[Fifthfiend]

So basically from what I can figure Kesha's thing is making shitty pop music about fucking various subgenres of dirty, gross dudes while doing genre-appropriate drugs.

I think I'm basically okay with that? In fact, it may actually be kind of amazing?

Ke$ha: Firstly, "Take it Off" is at least a few months old. As for the reason a lot of my generation likes her? She's a parody. Everything from the autotune to the glitter to the drunk act is all tongue in cheek. But more importantly, it's a parody with a purpose: she is trying to erase the double standards women face in pop music and culture. For example, take Blah Blah Blah. Listen to it for the first time, and you'll probably think something along the lines of "wow, she's a whore." Congratulations jackass, you just labeled her for singing the same sort of shit that guys say without anyone batting an eye.
