Why do kids like dad music now?

I thought the whole point of music was to give the kids something to rebel against.

Rock and Roll, Punk, New Wave, No Wave, Hardcore, Trance, Acid, Grunge, Metal etc etc. Its all there for you kids. If your dad likes it you shouldn't.

I don't understand why you all like the bland stuff. What is wrong with you. The charts are full of worthy rich kids singing about how miserable they are.

Is it because you don't have to buy it? Because you have everything given for free. Because you don't have to tape it off the radio or queue to pick it up at Woolworths or whatever alt record shop you are lucky enough to have.

I know vinyl is back back back but its just an excuse for record companies to sell you the same stuff AGAIN at a vastly inflated price. I remember buying 10 records for £50 and thinking that was a lot. Now you are lucky if you can get 2 for that price. At least they are 180 gram and definitely not remastered from a digital source. Honestly.

I am the sucker here. I bought there record. Then the CD. I threw the record in the bin and then years later I bought the record again for 4 times the price. Then I bought the remastered version. Then the remastered version on pink vinyl.

Why are lego advertising DFS? That's where most of them go to live.

I might try and add a picture to this. See how that works out.

So why do kids like dad music? I guess because it annoys people like me.

Just like The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Smiths annoyed my dad.

So maybe it is following a pattern.

Maybe.

This is not a suicide note.  I am not allowed to do that. That would make me the bad guy. If things were a bit different though I would deffo be eating toast in the bath. I hope I get ill again. That would be perfect. The only problem with getting ill last time was that I got better. I was ready. I was ‘at peace’. Then, as now, I have had enough. I am always tired, I always hurt. I am never shown any love and I don’t really do anything I enjoy. All the things I am supposed to enjoy either I don’t or I get stopped from doing by other people who are supposed to care about me. I am now old enough to know I will never get what I want in my life. This is it, my best days are behind me and I wasted them on making do. The sun comes out and I get sunburn in the hope that it will fix my skin. In the hope it will make me better. It just makes my skin fall off in different ways and hurt from a new angle. I look for stuff to fill the box I live in. The space is getting smaller and ...

And then they all stopped talking. What had they been saying? It was definitely something to do with me. I don’t mind. It just makes me laugh to myself. I need to laugh. Even if it’s just an internal thing.  The guy with no hair is round again. Buzz buzz buzz . You open the window but the wasp won’t flay out. He would be better off out there in the world but he would sooner be banging into windows. You bump into the criminal by accident. What do you say? Does he know I know? He must do. He knows the environment. He knows what’s happening. What do you say? You say ‘alright’ and then you move past. You are glad you don’t have your child with you. That would have been weird.  You go back through history. You see all the relics and ignore them for plastic hiding in cabinets.  You are melting. Your skin is coming off. The machine won’t work. Why won’t the machine work? And you try and you try and you try and everyone is looking at you and you are melting.  An...
