Imagine having to give your instrument a blow job everytime you wanted it to play music.

Imagine having to stroke your instrument every time you wanted to play music.

jubilationtcornpone,

Having to bang an Instrument doesn’t sound so bad. But, if you get the rhythm off even a tiny little bit, it kills the mood real quick.

What are songs from the 50s and 60s called now?

“What I listen to far more than modern pop garbage.”

JJROKCZ,

History? Feel like the only people listening to the songs of the 50s exclusively are almost dead and gone. You tend to spend your years listening to the songs of your youth (teens-20s) so people who were coming of age in the 50s would be in their 90s now since 1950 was 74 years ago.

I’m counting ‘23 as done, idc about 20ish measly days

tigeruppercut,

My folks are in their 70s and still listen to stuff from Elvis, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, etc. I think you’re off by at least 15 years as to who’s listening to what.

lunarul,

I tried listening to the 50s and 60s stations on SiriusXM in the car when driving with the kids, because those songs should have safe language, but foul language is a lot better than what I was hearing in those songs (blatant sexism, borderline racism, love songs for underage girls, and so on). I decided Liquid Metal is just fine.

That’s 80s. 70s didn’t happen, 50s-60s are certified geriatric®

Source: I’ve been hearing ACDC on the classic rock station for the last 10 years

scottywh,

A huge part of AC/DC’s catalog is from the 70s…

BarrelAgedBoredom,

True but their music is more associated with the 80s. And the 70s didn’t happen

scottywh,

If the 70s hadn’t happened we’d have missed most of Led Zeppelin… Steppenwolf…

Is this some inside jokey meme I’m not privy to or something? 😂

BarrelAgedBoredom,

No inside joke, just an observation haha. The 70s kind of lives in the 60s and 80s shadow culturally (except for disco, but people nowadays seem to forget disco happened until it’s mentioned). A lot of the big bands and musical movements found their stride/became more.popular in the 80s. The only time I hear “back in the 70s” it’s usually followed by stories of cocaine and disco, not Led Zeppelin and steppenwolf. The exception to that is Eagles, but theyre awful so it doesn’t count lol

scottywh,

Black Sabbath!

Honytawk, in What a silly thought, am I right?

Fingering your instrument isn’t much better though

surewhynotlem,

It’s not just the fingering. You have to tongue it just right at the same time.

… the trumpet taught me a very useful set of life skills …

zaph,

I like to bang my instrument.

Wait, that’s done after? Not before?

Isn’t it technically consider an “Oldie” at 20 years?

TimewornTraveler,

“technically”? aint some wizard in the clouds making rules here. we could call anything older than 2018 an oldie if we wanted and be “technically correct”

LikeTearsInTheRain, in Sisyphean

Wore glasses for almost my whole life. Never touch them with your hands, don’t splatter foods when eating, position them so your lashes don’t touch them if possible. I always keep some microfiber cloths and lens cleaning solution at my desk.

But got lasik over a year ago. Sure the dry eyes are a pain in dry weather, but it’s nicer than not having to worry about smudging my glasses. Also, even though there is some light flaring at night if my eyes are dry, it’s not as bad as when I get them with glasses that have microscratches on them.

I still notice when other people who have glasses have smudges all over them and they seem to not be bothered by it. Even I’m bother by seeing it imagining how bad everything must look. Hell, even a speck of dust annoys me while wearing glasses if it’s in the right spot.

“All the Small Things” is as old now as “Shining Star” by Earth, Wind, and Fire was when “All the Small Things” came out

LongbottomLeaf, (edited )

Oooh, I like this one. Like Smashing Pumpkins - 1979. The equivalent song today would be about 2007, I think.

Bgugi,

We’ve crossed the line where “1985” is as far back as 1985 was.

I’ll have to ponder this in my yellow SUV.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

Do you sing yellow submarine every time you get in that thing or what

Patches, (edited )

A song as iconic as “1979” by The Smashing Pumpkins that came out in 2007 would be “Thnks fr th Mmrs” by Fall Out Boy.

Trombone players don’t care. They can’t even hear you. Because they’re the loudest instrument and therefore the best.

Not even a mention of the boner jokes? Do you even play trombone?

I don’t mind being called old because 1. I am kind of old and 2. I feel it.

However, it does really suck when your favorite bands/musicians are considered old because they are forever young in our minds.

Also, over-explaining a meme with unnecessary analysis is a sign of being old.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

Well I appreciated your analysis, gramps.
