I really like the sentiment here. "Even if you practically live on your computer, you might not know basic pop culture!" Yeah, people who spends all their time online are really known for having their finger on the pulse of what's hot right now.

The radio at work is from the mid 80's and only picks up one FM station that isn't NPR reliably and it plays him at least twice an hour. That's my reason for disliking that bastard. At least he has two songs out now and it's not just Shape of You forever and ever.

Yeah, I know poo poo is changing and everyone is online these days, but the stereotype of the person spending their whole day in front of their computer is probably not that they're the most in touch.

Everyone now has access to a portable music player with a huge capacity, and the ability to access and download any of the world's variety of music to play at their leisure. At this point, you're the weird one for assuming everyone listens to the radio, let alone can name flash-in-the-pan modern artists. The shared experience of popular music may well be coming to an end.

They're my favorite band, but my favorite album (Too Dark Park) has none of my favorite songs of theirs on it. They really are a wonderful weird band. I like their new stuff too. And they're the only band (outside of my friend's) that I still go to see.

I'd think of something else to say about it but that short sentence really says it all. Ragingsheep posted:Just dial 116 instead.

DACK FAYDEN posted:It's strange, I remember reading something that said Nirvana would probably be the last superstar-phenomenon-band-thing, and yet there has clearly still been a trend of huge pop stars since. Seems like everyone predicts the end of the single pop mainstream but it hasn't happened yet?  Am I so out of touch that I really don't recognize any of the bands that are popular right now?  No, it's the industry that's becoming irrelevant.

It's not really that things aren't popular, it's that even the biggest hits today are not nearly as popular on their own as they used to be. There are just a lot more things competing for attention these days. There was a really good article I read but can't find that showed Game of Thrones yesterday had like 16 million viewers, and ER season 3 first episode had over 40 million.

Nope, pretty sure if you don't like and know about the same things that I like and know about then you are either a liar or a broken excuse of a human being. Maybe both.
