Bullshit that people like to scream from the perches of their bedazzled high horses and what they REALLY mean, you musically illiterate peasant.
1. "Ugh. Today's music is absolute GARBAGE."
These little bastards wouldn't know good music if it hit them in their Tide-pod smeared faces. I'm not listening to live music anymore because it's all just shit. All of it. It's over processed garbage, and frankly, I'm done with it. I'm going to go listen to "Nookie" and cry over my box of Franzia.
What they're really saying: "You want me to go...ONLINE? Like on my phone? Surely, you jest. That's a Gen Z thing and I absolutely refuse to do that. If they're a good band, I'll see them live." This is usually said by women my age who will spend two hours getting dressed to go to "Ladies Night" at the local bar and get sloshed listening to Journey.
2. "Oh my god. Look at them. How old are they? Like 50?"
These guys still actually think they're popular? Yeah, maybe when my mom was young. They still think they're hot, I bet. Nobody listens to that shit anymore. They're sweating all over the stage. Definitely need to retire. So creepy. Anyway, I'm going to make a Tik Tok with the new princess filter.
What they're really saying: "They used to look hot. Holy shit. Will I look that gross one day? No way. Aging terrifies me." These are generally the same demographic of adult children who spend the allowance they still get at 25 to buy lip injections and vegan lotion to look like pre-teens. That existential crisis at 40 is going to knock 'em the fuck out.
