Homer: I was in a record store, and they were playing all these bands I’d never heard of. It was like the store had gone crazy.

Marge: Record stores have always seemed crazy to me. Music is none of my business.

Homer: That’s all well and good for you, but I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day... now I’m lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky. I’ve got to get out of this rut and back into the groove.

Middle-aged Grampa: What the Hell are you two doin’?

Young Barney: It’s called rockin’ out!

Young Homer: You wouldn’t understan’, dad. You’re not *with it*.

Middle-aged Grampa: I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I’m with isn’t *it*, and what’s *it* seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you...

I didn't like post-Woodstock country-rock, post-Woodstock Nashvegas rock-country or anything "country industry" ever since, disco, corporate stadium rock, fern bar music, rap, hardcore, thrash, speed metal, house music, hip hop, top 40-girly diva disco (Mariah, Madonna, Paula Abdul, etc), grunge (or at least anything that "got through"), boy bands, Disney dance acts, "the return of rock Strokes-Vines-Hives-White Stripes YEAH!", dubstep, mashups, techno, electronica, ambient, cuddlecore, rrriot girrrl, NU country, NU Metal, Mathrock, Icelandic death metal, U2...

I could go on and on and include those artists like Tony Bennett and Ethyl Merman who "had" to record Beatles covers and disco songs to prove they were still "with it".
