[Hyphnip]

I used to love ICP!

[Sparq]

Heh...yeah, I talk to another member here who likes them. It's the juggalo thing that's funny to me. I guess the KISS Army people do the same. Heh.

[marx marvelous]

Place bets on how many years it will be before the music and culture of the 90's is viewed as disdainfully as that of the 80's.

 

5 years.

[Hyphnip]

I'd never compare 90's to 80's music

[marx marvelous]

What makes the 90's any more above obsolescence than the 80's?

[Hyphnip]

90's music is far superior!

[marx marvelous]

How? Please take into consideration grunge and boy bands.

[saturnine]

boy bands are of little relevance.

 

simply put, children of the 90's are much further along than their 80's counterparts. different breed.

are you asying grunge was a low point for music in the 90s?

[marx marvelous]

Do you really want to be the type of "golden ager" who sincerely clings to the culture of his youth as history's greatest?

As far as the mainstream goes, the 90's are pretty killer.

 

Ok Computer and Aenima imo

I won't say it was the greatest in history. but the 90's were FAR superior to the 80's. 90% of the time, if you're at a bar or a social and they play a song from the 80's, people like it because of nostalga. 90's music STILL has credability and still sounds fresh when compared to current music.

(and of course, I don't mean any of this as absolutes. not all 80's music sucks and not all 90's music is great)

oh, and grunge is still great

ah, you're one of those "the 70's had, far and away, the best music of any generation and if you don't agree, you're an idiot" people

[marx marvelous]

Haha, not at all. I've given no indication of that whatsoever.

[shade]

So what the hell are you trying to say here CHAMP?

[marx marvelous]

That every decade is equally destined for obsolescence, until enough time has passed that people view 90's music as a quaint page in the history books--like the way most people view 50's music now.

We still discuss music from year 600 around these parts, if you honestly think music becomes obsolete over time...then what the fuck.

 

Edit: Nice Smug comment, I would make them as well if my argument was fucking retarded.

Edited February 15, 2007 by shade

[marx marvelous]

I'm not saying it's gone forever, but you'd certainly be mistaken to say that music from year 600 is at the forefront of popular music, or that it's what you or any of your friends choose to listen to when you're bored. Most people wouldn't give a first thought to Gregorian chants if not for some scholastic requirement. I don't understand why you even consider this worthy of an argument.

[shade]

It's influence lives on and is still highly relevant. Casting it off as obsolete just seems stupid to me.

[marx marvelous]

Sorry if it came across as casting it off entirely--I only meant to imply that it's removed from the "Listening" file and placed in the "Its Influence Lives On" folder.

[shade]

Even so, why not listen to it. I give Bach a few spins here and there.

 

People still read shakespeare. Good art is good art.

 

Edit: Unless we are speaking in terms of the media. Well of course they are going to play whats new and 'hip'

Edited February 15, 2007 by shade

[marx marvelous]

I don't think music ages just as gracefully as literature, but I'll concede your point. Nonetheless, you still recognize that there's a gap between modern revelance and "giving it a few spins here and there", right?
