A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Because mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens, you are actually admitting your parents music is better - because they are the ones making it. (lemmy.world)

Equally when music "used to be better" it's your peers churning out this garbage not your parents who knew better.

Your parents had better taste in music.

Because mosts music tastes stagnate [sic] after your teens

Assumes facts not in evidence.

Also ignores that pop music, by definition, has the broadest reach, by being the lowest common denominator (no criticism here, it's just a fundamental requirement to be accessible by the most people).

Compare pop music to say, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" . Far fewer people can appreciate "Kind of Blue" because it's insane complexity. Hell, I have musical training and can only listen to it occasionally, on the daily I much prefer something far more approachable, some form of more-popular music - even stuff we call "classical" (which was the pop music of it's day).
