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

Any version of this makes the speaker sound suuuper old and bitter. π
My highschool music is better than your highschool music!
Music was way better when the musicians snorted the good ol yayo.
At least he doesnt like all newer music simply because the artist look better.
tbh we are all just snapshots of ourselves at different stage of the same cycle. The Simpsons did a whole thing about lolapalooza which starts with homer looking for his favourite artists in a record store, and the record store dude, and being directed to the oldies section.
The bands that feature in that episode are the smashing pumpkins, soundgarden , cypress Hill and Peter Frampton, all of whom appear in Spotify old school lists
Oh sure, everything new becomes old eventually, that's just how time works. I'm more poking fun at those who let their nostalgia determine what is worthwhile.
I had a luthier tell me how much was much better before the record. How artists would perform live and have to do their best in these performances.
Once records came around all the artists sold out and it has been downhill from there.
βOk, can I have my guitar back, pleaseβ¦β
Nah, generally yes, but this particular follow up is hilarious. When ugly people made it haha
