We've all had the dadrock experience. The first time I distinctly remember feeling death's approach was flipping through channels and hitting Nirvana on the oldies station.

All other music gets qualified with Classic. Classic Rock, there will probably be Classic Hip-Hip, Classic Dance, Classic Alternative(lmao) But for some reason "Classic" on it's own came to describe orchestra music and that always seemed sorta gun-jumpy to me.

There is also a difference between Classic __________ and Classical. Its the Classical which jars me.

My only problem with the "classical music" gag from Beyond is that Futurama had already done it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C52MXbkhepQ

All those people waddling through K-mart thinking 'ooooh what a nice song!' not knowing it's about the singer's battle with heroin addiction. Not to mention Donovan's Sunshine Superman

Cingulate posted:That Actual Dad Anthony Kiedis (is he still loving 18-year olds?) thought about his pioneering opiate addiction while writing the words for that piece of Muzak doesn't mean it's not Muzak, which it clearly is. It seems perfectly appropriate to me for songs about/informed by opiate addiction are used to pacify the roiling emotions of those in the throes of their shopping addiction.

Grand Fromage posted:We've all had the dadrock experience. The first time I distinctly remember feeling death's approach was flipping through channels and hitting Nirvana on the oldies station. Several years ago, my wife and I had sent our son to spend the night at his grandma's house so we could go in and deep-clean his room. (He was still a little kid and autistic; him cleaning it well was out of the question, and him getting rid of anything was equally unrealistic.) He had a stereo in his room, so we put it on 105.7 The Point, the best alternative rock station that St. Louis has to offer. After they'd played about 10 great songs in a row, we both paused and commented on how great the music was that evening. They were playing some of the best music we'd heard on that station, and they were playing a lot of it. It was, quite literally, remarkable. Right at that moment, there is a station identification bump. A low, gravely, rock-n-roll-y voice then announces some cute line making a reference to a 90s movie and the 90s decade itself; this got our attention just in time to clearly hear, "It's another WAYBACK WEEKEND on ONE OH FIVE POINT SEVEN, THE POINT!!" That's when we knew we were old for sure, and there was no going back. On the plus side, we finally realized that we were too old to care about things like that.

I would argue that 93.3 KNSX was a better station back in the late 90s and early 2000s because they didn't get into the screamo and nü-metal fad that the Point did. It was nearly unlistenable ten years ago, though last time I was in Missouri it sounded like they had went back to more "traditional" alternative rock. Those last three words were typed with tears streaming down my greying beard.

It's closer to gently caress Everything, the nihilism trek, aside from the bits where everyone cheers for the main cast. Edit: Hey, this actually IS our Dad's/Granddad's Trek.

Sometimes it happens because he's worried and sometimes it's because he "senses danger" and other times it just doesn't happen at all.

I absolutely loathed Tilly for most of the episodes I saw, but people say she got better later. Saru was always good except when they ruined him for a bit. Shame about the rest of the cast though. As for Orville characters, there are none I really hated. Some were a bit flat sometimes but they never got me to pause the video and develop a migraine from how awful or stupid they were or how badly they were introduced. That may be a low bar but STDs first episodes are like the definition of smacking into that bar over and over again. Bortus, Isaac, Alara are great. Dr Finn, Kelly and Yaphit are good mostly, aside from the weirder arcs with them. The rest are ok, and sometimes swing wildly into being great depending on if the episode focuses on them or not.
