MCA died 13 years ago next month-- not too surprising kids born around 2000 or 2010 wouldn't have heard much of them.
Tripped acid and went to see them in Central Park just a few years back. In, uh, 1992.
Acid finally wore off in 2022, saw COVID, took more acid.
Usually my acid time hallucinations go the other direction. Were you mixing cadmium with it, next time try bendalloy
Series acid and went for a walk in 99, took my camcorder. Last thing I remember is recording a plastic bag being buffeted by the wind and suddenly I'm here staring at a little glass box in my hand.
I mean it really depends on what music their parents listen to about 90% of the time
I didn't realize until adulthood that some households don't really prioritize music. My parents were always playing and telling me about the music they grew up with (classic rock, because I'm old and they're older)
Every once in a while I'll meet a peer who's like "oh yeah we didn't have a lot of records" and I'm like oh that checks out with you not knowing the velvet underground
But I try not to be a jerk about people not knowing stuff, because no one needs that.
My dad never listened to music from his own era. He only ever listens to classical music. I'm not really a fan of music from his era, but I probably know more about it than he does.
Yup. I was really quiet old before I heard much Elvis or Michael Jackson. My parents just never had it on in the house. My best friends dad had a tattoo of Elvis, but still.
My daughter loves Michael Jackson.
It’s funny, I never much liked his music before aside from a couple big songs. Now that I’m always hearing it, I regularly catch myself singing along and enjoying it.
