Social Renaissance

We generation Y'ers, are doing something that isn't normal. We're embracing our elder's generations. Yeah, I mean its cool, 'cause its vintage, or whatever.

I'm not any different. Just look at me, all I care about is old cars, old (sounding or just old) tunes, and girls. Thats no different than a kid in 1959 would have dug (SEE IM MORE TRADITIONAL THEN EVERYONE, I'm so trad that my ideas are period correct. My laptop is the size of texas.)

I'm not bitching about it, its just an observation, and I'm glad its happening with my generation, so I can sort of fit in. Bands like Best Coast, the Dum Dum Girls, the Raveonettes,
and the rest of the tunes that I listen to that don't get enough credit, I'd just like to thank you for being popular.

Now to my thesis. We kids like old shit. Why? because its innocent in its own right. We can roll to the beach boys, and feel like our lives are real, and not digital. I know I do. I also roll to minor threat, and feel like I'm real, and can change things.

We listen to vinyl records. The same vinyl records that our grand parents tossed in lieu of the 8-track. I know We is relative, and its a niche market, but just look at everyone wearing wayfarers, and digging on old slang.

With bands that douse everything in reverb and fuzz, just to give it the feel of being old, I commend you. I like hi-fi, but in a world where clarity is so easy to achieve, it takes guts to be lo-fi. To have tape hiss, and all of that glory that goes with it.

I'm not into the rockabilly scene, or whatever that is, I'm not into any scene really. I mean, if given the chance, I'd probably cling to some no-fi'ers and try and chill, but I wouldn't fit in.

I think the concept of labeling yourself, and predicating your actions upon said label is stupid, but I can also appreciate living as though it was 1960.

I'm just making observations, while listening to best coast. I'll talk about some tunage tomorrow again.
