It's not that all of the acts before Nirvana disappeared overnight, but the sound of mainstream rock changed, and, more importantly, the market changed. Genre in this sense is about marketing, after all, and when the markets change, so do the genres.
It's not even an age thing-- Classic Rock is a genre with a specific time lock of the late 60s through the 70s. There's an argument for going as late as the mid-80s, and Wikipedia has it going through the mid-90s. Personally, I'd say Nirvana is the dividing line-- Classic Rock ended with Grunge.
The psychic damage I take when the radio comes on in the morning and the "classic rock" station is playing a song from this century.
Once upon a time one unmarried guy let the milk go bad and his buddies dared him to drink it anyway and here we are
oh my god someone slashed our tire
You know, on the one hand, I reflexively don’t love artwork which reduces a woman to her genitals. But on the other, Mary’s role within Christian theology specifically arises from her actual vulva, and contemporary Christian culture has a marked discomfort with that reality. I think I like it.
MYTH: You’ll be confident in yourself. REALITY: Every time you neglect to call your representative about each new humanitarian crisis is a new reason to hate yourself.
This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.
Without saying Your Song, fav Elton John Song?
Border Song
Important update:
I have the same problem with scheduled delivery-- if I ask for 1:00 - 1:30, that means I'll be able to receive it then, not at 12:45 when I'm still in the middle of something I can't necessarily walk away from.
I don't know if it's even hating art so much as hating *artists*. It's the train wreck of entitlement crashing into media illiteracy. I was speaking to someone after a film screening last week about how we all have that one piece of art or media that gripped us in a way that made us realise...
I thought it already had one-- is the East Room not a ballroom? I can't believe they'd build a mansion in the early 1800's *without* a proper ballroom.
I thought we all agreed cancer was bad. The bar is in fucking Nessus, my guys.
If your response to the question "What cancer screenings should be covered by insurance?" isn't "All of them," I don't even know what we're doing, like, as a species.
Talking with one of my coworkers reminded me that one of the greatest movies of all time starts with a chiptues version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

Ever wondered what a trumpet would sound like in jelly? Well, am I about to answer your question...
As someone who has been on Tumblr for over a decade, I've basically developed an immunity to "this site is dying" posts. I'll believe it when I refresh and the site isn't there anymore.
pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.
You know, I get the feeling that lime wasn't the only thing she put in that coconut.

I can't believe we have a Pope from Illinois. People from Chicago usually hate the Cardinals.
The kerning on that is wild.
Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. ("Hard mode" no Ghibli, Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)
People always look at the spaceships and the robots and think it's Science Fiction, when in reality the character archetypes and story beats make it more like Tolkien than Roddenberry. It's not that you can't tell complex political stories in Fantasy, but at least Martin acknowledges the dragons.
Having been born in Hawai'i, I don't even have a birth certificate, I have a "Certificate of Live Birth", and I think we know what these people think about those.
Not me rewinding Two Towers because I missed the bit where Aragorn kicked the helmet.
I found out some of you only eat one slice of bacon and I don’t get why you hate life like that
"what if china gets your personal data" what if you passed a goddamn privacy law like a normal country
a better world is possible. *a better world is possible*. the world WILL be better. the problem is that progress is not linear. sometimes things zig before they zag, and it really sucks that that we are living in said zig after some good time zagging, but there will be more zags in the future.

PSA FOR THE QUEER AND QUESTIONING YOU CAN CHANGE AND EXPERIMENT WITH LABELS AND IDENTITY THERE IS NO REASON A LABEL SHOULD RESTRICT YOU GENDER AND SEXUALITY IS A FUCKIN MESS AND YOU SHOULD NOT LET FAKE EXPECTATIONS HOLD YOU BACK FROM HAPPINESS AND I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY, YOU SILLY CRITTERS
TIL: There are versions of PowerPoint/Office with pop-up ads.
People keep mentioning book burning, but all I can think about is HUAC. Unrelated, the WNO is staging "The Crucible" next season.
Can I finish eating my dinner first, or are we on a timeline?

And sometimes the answers can be found in quiet contemplation while enjoying a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
You know you're an Adult(tm) when one of the reasons you're excited about your new place is that it's on city sewage as opposed to septic and you can finally use a garbage disposal again.
Why is my spam filter doing a Year in Review??
There's also the time she stepped out on the stage and knocked one of the most iconic opera songs out of the park. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k33s...
Aretha Franklin's cover of Elton John's "Border Song" was my first thought. Love both, but Franklin's just hits different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eBF...

"don't be ashamed of your interests" is good advice, but you gotta understand most people have multiple distinct memories of expressing an interest and immediately being looked at like a very large insect

"This person you don't know is An Asshole." Fantastic, I will continue to not engage with them.
Despite being chronically online, I very rarely know anything about the Main Character of the day. And usually, what I do learn is that I'm better off for it.
Surprised about a lot of these, honestly, but not an inaccurate slice of my music tastes. #SpotifyWrapped

Someone said my art is a break from politics and for the record: my art is political In a world where billionaires at the top aerospace companies see space as exclusive ground for white men to conquer and colonize, I offer a quiet contemplative alternative for anyone and *everyone*
I joined a semiotics forum but it was kind of an Eco chamber.
Doctor: You have the same disease as the girl in Airplane Me: Oh God what is it? Doctor: A movie with Leslie Nielsen but that's not important right now

I've been thinking about a sandwich and now I'm gonna make you think about it. Baguette. Spinach. Ham. Fontina. Basil pesto mixed with mayo. Yeah.
When's the last time you took a few minutes and just rocked out to Tom Sawyer? Not recent enough, I assure you.
