Oh! No!  I'm getting old!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my favorite music is being called "Classic Rock!"

 

[Incorrigible]

Help me qam1!!! Make me feel young again!

[rmlew]

It's scary. I'm turning 29 in 17 hours!

You too? Did you know Poison and Skid Row had a venue at a casino in my area? So old!

A little off topic, but STL's classic rock station plays Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams??? He is as classic rock as Hanson..!

[Tanniker Smith]

For Generation X, now in their 30s and 40s,

40s?? Oh, I'm back in Generation X now? (Being that I'm 41 and "40s" is plural, so it has to include me.)

I keep getting retroactively labeled a "boomer" even though I never got any boomer benefits.

Then again, the first Gen X sitcom was "Friends" and two of the actresses on the show are older than me (even if their characters weren't.)

You know you're old when:

You start wearing Depends to a Metallica concert.

You don't go to a Metallica concert anymore because the music hurts your ears.

You have to explain to your kids what a record album is.

How come I never had the idea that I or my generation (I never considered my self part of a generation) was going to change to world. I would say change to what exactly? Maybe I was and always be counter- counter culture. Oh well.

[nonliberal]

I'll take the first Ozzfest any day.

Pantera, Slayer, Machine Head, Fear Factory, Sabbath, Motorhead

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I knew that I had been to something important -- historic

I really like alt rock, but this lad has his priorities a bit skewed.

Perry Ferrell is the man.

Lollapalooza with Soundgarden was the best. Unfortunately, I was caught up in college at the time and didn't get to go.



Chris Cornell, 1992. My biggest singing influence. And he could hit higher notes than he could jump. Blows my mind. I listen to Badmotorfinger almost every day.

[Jet Jaguar]

Similar to the 20 year anniversary of Ferris Bueller.

20 years?

[SamAdams76]

The day I felt old was when I told the Karen Carpenter/Mama Cass joke to some co-workers and I got blank stares all around. That was because absolutely nobody in the lunchroom ever heard of Karen Carpenter OR Mama Cass.

BTW, the joke was "If only Mama Cass had given her ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they'd both be alive today."

This stuff is not music - it's noise.

The good news is that whenever my nephew accuses me of being an old fuddy-duddy, all I need to do is pull out an old Suicidal Tendencies album and blowaway the cRAPola he's listening to.

I knew I was getting old when I saw Tiffany and Vanilla Ice on that "Hit Me Baby One More Time" show last year.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

BUMP

[cmsgop]

I was at the First LaLa in CA held at Irvine Meadows. I was working it, had All Access Passes and I just want to say that ICE-T is a dick.

[Darkwolf377]

Ignored it then, so unlike the folks who brag about being at Woodstock when they actually weren't, I guess my memories will be about how I DIDN'T go to Lollapalooza.

[RepoGirl]

I caught Lollapalooza when it came through Orlando in '91. I was just so bored and disappointed with it, and there was just something SO wrong about seeing Nine Inch Nails play (outdoors) in the middle of the day.

Trent used the smoke machines and the strobes--at three in the afternoon. Looked like he was having one hell of a cookout on stage. Sigh.

It had been built up as this great, enlightened gathering of progressiveness, but all I saw were drunk frat boys and dumb hippies with dreads and piercings.

Oh... and vendors selling burgers for $8 bucks. That was so progressive.

[AnnaZ]

I missed the first few Lollapaloozas 'cause I was living in Venezuela... caught the first one I could when I got stateside... '95 with Beck, Cypress Hill, Sonic Youth, Hole, etc.

I was so bummed because Sinead O'Connor, booked to play, had to cancel due to being pregnant. Then I found out I was as pregnant as she. (Still went, though...)

Now that pregnancy is a ten-year-old who fights with me over the iPod. Yep, time flies...
