Listening to 90s rock/grunge/pop bands... so pure. just talent and a recording studio.
2022s it's a laptop, and auto tuned weird sounding voice that almost sounds like traditional arabic singing, along with disjointed beats and a sense of danger, like you're going to be immediately knifed.
There's no day dreaming element to it, it's all in your face. You can get lost in 90s music more, perhaps it's a comment on our attention span, how internet and iPhone has eroded those boring sunday afternoons where you were pretty isolated in your teenage bedroom, with only a CD to occupy your thoughts.

- The thing about music today, is that someone, somewhere is making what you want. You have to find it and not ever depend on mainstream outlets for music.CyBrainX

I memba my [very] German housemate (a mature student) complaining that "ALL MUSIC THESE DAYS IS SHIT" when we were in Uni, back in about '98 or so, when we finally managed to drag him out clubbing, to the gay club Rockshots! that had non-Gay nights each week and was generally fucking banging. He spent his time there that night with bits of tissue jammed deep into his ears.Turns out he was into sado-masochism, which we accidentally found out a few months before the end of the year, after which he was moving away. They were an awkward few months... .
Anyway, suffice to say that I thought his opinion was a bit... daft. There's something about people who couch their opinions in absolute terms. In my experience, it usually implies they're quite closed off to lots of things.

Took my kids to the world's biggest bouncy house / castle this weekend. I ran up to the first one and launched a somersault, and very nearly passed out as something popped in my core. Thought I'd broken a rib but i think I've just strained a bunch of muscles. Now in agony every time i move my core, which as it turns out is quite a fucking lot. Thanks a lot 40!

I went to see the Girls Against Boys "House of GVSB" 25 anniversary tour last night. Seeing all these anniversary tours makes me feel old but not as old as when I went to buy some vinyl at the merch booth. They only took Venmo and there was no service in the club so you had to sign into the clubs wifi. After fumbling with my phone for a few minutes the millennial finally snatched my phone out of my hand and said "Let me do it" and signed me in and paid her self in seconds.
