friends I need some help with some primary research for a project I'm working on. if you're an extreme clean freak, if there's something in your life you still look at and think "I have no idea how to clean that," or you're a big fan of Brillo products / steel wool can you reply to this or shoot me a DM?
apparently people don't feel as passionate about talking about cleaning as I thought they would...
on another note: I just bought tickets to: beck, purity ring, st lucia, classixx + neon indian, and animal collective. and I saw flume a few nights ago.
this year is far better than last year in terms of richmond shows.

Some days, Knoxville is a gift that keeps on giving. On the way back to the office today, I saw a house for sale. There is a real estate agent in Knoxville named Quint Bourgeois. I even double checked on the internet to make sure I had it right. www.realtyexecutives.com/agents/quint-bourgeois

If you look at every one of those decades, a lot more things that fucking sucked were produced than things that were great. That's just the way things go.
I call everyone "my dude", my dude. My generation made it a gender neutral term I guess.
You're probably right. It's just the snobbiness of that generation that just makes the shitty stuff shittier to me. I never have a problem with those who grew up in the 70s or 90s. They just acknowledge that not every question or song is gonna be directed to them. And trivia isn't even just an adult thing here. We have a few teams made of teenagers, some young 20s, etc.
You keep talking about "that generation." What do you even mean by that? Most people who "grew up" in the 80s, grew up in some combination of the 70s and 80s or the 80s and 90s. I was born in 1979, so I generally consider "growing up" for me as the period from like 1985 to 2000 or so. As it turns out, there were people born every year before and after me, so those people had some other combination of years when they "grew up."
And the 80s itself is not really a static thing either. Yeah, technically, the 80s runs from 1980 through the end of 1989, but some of what I think of as typical 80s culture really endured through the early 1990s. Some trends lasted longer, some ended before the decade was over.
Regardless, I don't know who comes to your trivia night, but I know lots of people who lived through the 80s, and I really do not know a single person who believes that decade was somehow culturally superior to any other decade or that relevant, interesting, and important things haven't been produced since then.
So here's my point, and the reason your posts have irked me enough to continue talking to you about this, is that you are making broad generalities about how much you can't stand this entire group of people and their culture as though there is this specific group of people out there touting the superiority of fluorescent colors and synth pop and refusing to admit that the world has moved on since then, and I just don't think that's a thing.
The truth is, the world is just full of assholes. The fact that you've run across some who are of a particular age doesn't mean that it's a whole generation of snobby people who think they grew up in the best time ever.

Just wait until he is our age and is thinking this same thing.
I love coffee. Some days the cup that I make in the morning doesn't even make it to work. I don't think I could function without it.
I'm legitimately 5 times as productive now it is magnificent and cheap since I don't go to starbucks.
I don't go to Starbucks or PJs coffee (or any coffee shop) either. BUT, I buy Starbucks Mocha flavored coffee from the grocery store...BEST. SHIT. EVER. The only time that I even thought about going to get coffee was two weeks ago, the day that I had to take care of my festie bestie after her double mastectomy. I got to her house at 4:30am, we were up until her next medicine cycle at 6:30am. The chainsaw cutting down the neighbor's tree started at 7am, right after we both fell asleep and she didn't have coffee in her house. By the time her boyfriend got there to let me go home and put on real clothes, he had coffee but "no filters that fit the coffee machine." In my search for the non-existent coffee filters (the ones he had actually fit he was being dumb), I passed by a PJ coffeehouse with NO LINE. I didn't take the bait and made her boyfriend make me coffee. I can't say it was worth the wait, but it was a damn fine cup of coffee.

Every week I host trivia I get different people of the same age making the same complaints. They are really my only representation of that generation so I'm really only speak from my experience. What I've experienced of them, I don't like. I also don't like 80s culture. Literally all I'm saying. For you to say that there aren't people who grew up in the 80s who say stuff like "real music is dead" or typical stuff, is just not true. They are a type of people who exist.

You keep saying that generation. How old are these people in "that generation" in which you speak of?
EDIT: I ask because if I am correct, quite a few of us in this forum and that you have met in real life fall in that category.

I'm not saying there aren't those people. Although I stand by the statement that I don't actually know anybody who thinks the 80s were culturally superior to any other decade, there are certainly people who grew up in the 80s who believe that current music is almost entirely crap that is not worth bothering with. (And what, exactly, is the difference between the attitude of those people about current music/culture and your attitude about 80s music/culture?)
What I'm saying is that there are those people from every single generation that has ever existed and that it's wildly inaccurate to act like people who grew up in the 80s have some sort of monopoly on being nostalgic assholes.
I'm also saying that when you have a mindset such as that you "don't like 80s culture," you are doing yourself a disservice because you are dismissing out of hand an entire decade based on a generalization about the kinds of things it produced when, in fact, a fairly wide variety of music, movies, and books came out of that time.
Saturday I leave for 12 days to the happiest place on earth, Amsterdam. The airbnb I rented is the #1 rated in Amsterdam, and we're going to be in the middle of everything this time, as opposed to staying in a hotel further out like usual.
I took this whole month off from work, and I'm so glad I did. I've never felt so stress-free in the days leading up to travel. I'm getting all the laundry done, shopping in order, pharmacy trips etc out of the way early. While over there, partner in crime is going to be visiting ex-pat recruiting agencies and putting out feelers for jobs in the city. I'm just so glad to be well, glad!
This could go in the YAY thread, but whatever. I love you guys, I love life, things are great.
Random thought: I grew up during the period 1980-1989, so my final year growing up was the year 80's culture ended, also widely considered the year when 80's trends ended. So I lived through the 80's, and I can't help but feel that decade is culturally superior to any other decade, and nothing relevant, interesting, or important has been produced since that time. Fluorescent colors and synth pop are simply superior to other colors or music genres, and it really feels like the world hasn't moved on since then.
I grew up in the best time ever, real music is dead.

I met a 22 yr old at BUKU the year before last year (or whichever year Primus played) who would venomously disagree. She said that the 90s were the best decade for music and everything ever. She might not have been born yet, but she KNOWS.

Well darn, I guess I was wrong all along!
In all seriousness, identifying the best periods in music is easy.
1965 - 1969 (beatles first take LSD through beatles break up)
1979 - 1982 (Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" through New Order's "Blue Monday", or birth of post-punk through popularization of dance culture)
1989 - 1997 (Nirvana's "Bleach" through Radiohead's "OK Computer", or from the birth of alternative* to it's culmination)
2000 - 2010 (Radiohead's "Kid A" through Kanye's "MBDTF", or from the deconstruction of alternative to the elevation of hip-hop)
* I know Bleach wasn't the birth of alternative, just saying 1989 is a pretty good year to pick for that birth.
