SwimOdin Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Who's going to tell radio stations that NOW is twenty one years? Is it because we still can't believe it's been that long since 2000? Maybe it's because I'M ALMOST FORTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 What radio stations are you listening to? I mean, if you really want now, you're just going to get Billie Eilish, one of the tens of Dua Lipa tunes that all sound alike, one of the tens of Ariana Grande tunes that sound like she's whining, or, if you're lucky, one of the good Weeknd tunes from After Hours but not one of the really good ones from the same album.

tsar4 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The station I worked at in the 90's played 90's hits with some older stuff mixed in. I still hear the older stuff on occasion, but the 90's "hits" didn't seem to have much staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Anything past 1999 is just a giant nebulous blob of adult contemporary music. The aughts don’t exist, and neither do the 10’s. No masters or kings. Only “I’m Yours” for the 10th time today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seight Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The rock station I listen to can best be described as "New Rock, and also the stuff you won't get mad at hearing if someone has the Classic Rock station on at work." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grocery store here has its own radio station and you can find it on AM.

If you use spotify you could probably make yourself a long ass playlist to shuffle through while driving and you wouldn't have to touch anything. But I'm too lazy to make playlists, so maybe you are too. I don't even use spotify, I burn my CDs to iTunes then put them on my iPhone. I might just put on an album or shuffle my whole collection.

The only "genre" I care about that gets radio play is classic rock. But so many decades of THE SAME GOD DAMN 1-3 SONGS OF THE SAME GODDAMN BANDS WITH THE ADDED NEWER BANDS THAT I HATE FROM MY TEEN YEARS EVERY MOTHER FUCKING DAY got reaaaaaaal old.

resurrected Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have zero clue about any of today's music. Anything past the mid 90's, I have no idea who they are. Tell me to name a song by Areola Grande and you will be waiting a long time. I'm over 40 and I still listen to 70's, 80's and 90's music. Mostly still on CD. If I'm in disco's car, we have to listen to a jump drive or the satellite radio shit. Stop making me download music. Just give the car a damn CD player. Some of us old people don't want all the technology. I don't care about that big ass touch screen that tells me the weather, GPS, make phone calls and text messages, etc. Just give my old ass a CD player so I can jam to some Queen, or Elvis, or Jethro Tull, or Pearl Jam. Rabble. Rabble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who that is, but something tells me I'd like her. 😜 I got turned off bringing CDs in the car when it became common for people to break into cars and stealing the CD wallets. Getting your CDs stolen out of your car probably isn't a problem anymore, but changing CDs is not something I intend to do while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Yes, because there's a magical barrier between shit recorded on magnetic tape and modernity. Spoiler Although that doesn't sound right as there are quite a few artists who've reverted to recording on 24-track reels. Or even more archaic methods over on Jack White's planet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
