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.

Penultimate

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 ...

Nightclubbing

 Who? I know this one’s name. Debbi. With an I and no e. She told me that a few times. She told me a lot of things. Over and over again. Pretty with make-up prettier without. I thought she was just another girl out for a night out. Another party girl. Out with her friends who seemed not to be there right now. Where were they? Why has they left her like this? Who would abandon someone this drunk? She wasn’t drunk though. She had just been made to look that way.   Where? On a kind of upholstered bench in a club in Nottingham that had seen better days. Everything in there was something you could get stuck to. Everything in there had all the fluids spilt on it at some point. A place where the lights had gone out and not yet been replaced. Somewhere that was the same today as it was in the 70’s. She was collapsed in on herself. Leaning slightly to the left and looking peaceful as she dribbled on herself. Her glass had toppled over spilling whatever was in it all over whatev...
