I'm sitting at Wendy's and they're playing canned music over the loudspeakers and it hits me, I don't know any of the songs. All the three year old stuff they play at Wendy's I'm listening to for the first time! Like "what the hell is this?" Damn it's getting hard to maintain a rep with when you can't tell what the three year old songs are. I know that R&B (they call R&B hip hop now, but hip hop is dead so it's ok) and emo are big, and other than that I'm clueless and I haven't heard anything but just a little bit of Gnarls Barkley and some of the emo stuff that my brother likes.

There's a popular screamo band from this area, I know that. When I think of emo I think of like Bright Eyes or something: out of tune instruments, nonsense lyrics, kind of wussy, and I can't cure myself of not liking it. I've turned into my Dad! Give me music that rocks! Or is intelligent, or something. I don't understand how you can be a teenage boy without the musical equivalent of Pearl Jam, and that is why I know I'm out of touch, old, and very "yesterday."

I'm bummed about it honestly. It just doesn't sound good to me. It's like, I listen to it, and I want something else. It's like... lima beans, they're no less healthy than broccoli, but I want my broccoli. Man that weirds me out.

Sorry, I just realized that I'm not supposed to swear. Swear words edited out of this post and no more in the future.
