    You know, I love my eldest daughter and she is so clever and beautiful, but her taste in music is fucking awful. She's nearly 20 and still going to Harry Styles concerts. I'm both embarrased and proud of her at the same time. It's hard being a dad, you want to impart your wisdom but the stupid choices kids make make it hard, instead you feel like just letting them get on with it as a punishment because it's worse than what you would actually give them.

      Editing … I like the way you talk about the "stupid choices" of her concert purchases in the same way some dads would talk about their kid doing heroin

      Editing … I don't know much about Harry Styles but I do know that he is all the rage with the youth. Many parents in my vicinity have been forced to take their teens to a Harry Styles concert. His music seems bland and inoffensive everything I would think a teen would hate but her we are in 2023. I'm sure she'll learn eventually as she gets older.

      Editing … Elvis is actually a decent musician and singer. But have you seen those old videos of girls throwing knickers at him and stuff? And then the Beatles in the 60s. And then we all heard about the butter queen in the 70s. I think it's quite mild these days what went on in the past. If she told me she like Elvis or the Beatles I'd be a lot happier than hearing Harry Styles though. Come on, the concerts are safe but the music is proper shite.

      Editing … I think it's difficult now for kids to develop their music taste now. The music scene seems pretty dead. Sure there are independent artists that will always make cool shit but where do you start with as a kid? You are dependent on the music that comes into your attention. And the music that gets attention now is complete trash. Even 80's pop songs have some interesting things going so back then you could see in what direction you wanted to explore music, but now it's as if they think people have no possible way of appreciating music and just do whatever.

      Editing … Who remembers waiting for the charts every sunday night and trying to tape as much as possible but cutting out the DJs voice? They were good times. This new fangled Youtube shite is mile better in every way but it's wrong because I liked my old way of doing it.

      Editing … I could not tape music because I was a kid. I would have loved to though. I was dependent on the radio man or family members to play the songs I liked once in a blue moon. For the rest of my music needs I would make save files in certain games at specific parts just to vibe with the music there. I still do that sometimes. There is just something about being in an environment that is part of the music.

      Editing … I'm so old I used to buy music on record first. Records aren't better than the modern ways, I don't know why people say records are best. People buy tons of records now it's getting big again. It's not for me, give me high quality digital so I can store thousands of albums on my phone and link to Bluetooth anywhere I want to.

      Editing … Why don't hipsters play tapes or cds then? It seems to be purely a record thing. I used to love pulling the lyrics out the case and reading them. I guess you can't do that with digital. However you can get the lyrics displayed on screen.

      Editing … Tapes are analoge too but they degrade over time and lp does not unless you play it to death. The sound quality is also better on lp than tape. I love tapes though. They are quite nostalgic. I used to play with them and ruin them by taking out the film.
