I will admit that good music is out there if you look for it.
But part of the fun with good music not being so obscure, was that it was good to bond with others who also knew the music, instead of now being the only one on the block that ever heard of the artist.
That’s true. Remember how cool it used to be to pull up to a red light and hear someone in the car next to you listening to a song you loved? Never happens anymore.
That’s a cogent observation. But you also have admit that this ‘bonding’ is also behind a lot of bad music, such as (getting behind my lead shield) the Dreadful Grape, the stadium rock, or ___________ (your favorite to hate), and also behind nostalgia for those good times with people who shouldn’t even have been your friends.
