Jad, a few years ago I commented on a Journey song called chain reaction. here's what I posted. Well, this kid replied a few nights ago sayin how awesome 80's music because they actually played their instruments and basically hated Modern music. This kid gets it. I'm going to adopt him as the little brother I never had....Lol

I basically told him he may have had it better because technology was outdated, no cell phones, no internet, etc.

17 hours ago@tworivers71 Well come on! Look at all elegant and "magical"-sounding music--with real instruments and talent--you got to "grow up with"/be in your teens when it came out/blast at gatherings and in cafeterias/hear played at school dances/belt together with peers your age/etc... ...Versus the mainstream "music"--which is mostly actually just copied and pasted samples mixed with machine noises--that us Gen Z'ers had the extreme misfortune of having to "grow up with". Hell, watching "Stranger Things" made me jealous of the music those in their teens got to blast at gatherings/blast at parties/be in their teens when it came out/hear at school dances/belt together with peers their age/etc. In terms of pop culture it was you Gen X'ers who had it WAAAAAY better than us Gen Z'ers. I would do ANYTHING to be reborn as someone born in 1967-1968--If this means growing up without the tech we have today, so fn be it!!

My generation (I was in my 20's in the 80s), went to a lot of concerts. Tickets were affordable and there were a lot of good venues to go to. Everyone went to concerts quite often. Pine Knob was my favorite back then, it's called something else now and the Pontiac silver Dome has been torn down. It was a good time to be young. We were poorer financially than the kids now, but we didn't live in our parents' extra rooms lol.
