Yeah I bet they’re so sad they peaked early, they’re all crying & blowing their noses with million-dollar-bills in their mansions for the rest of their lives.
Early Gen-X went from seeing the horrors of the Vietnam war on TV, straight into Reganism, Iran Contra, and more. All while under the looming shadow of global thermonuclear war, which was pushed heavily into the zeitgeist by cold-war politics at the time. Sure, there’s a lot good stuff from that era too, but there was also plenty to rage about.
all the “fuck the system” bands from the 80s-90s were right all along
Rage Against The Machine were one of the realest bands ever.
Rage Against The Machine is what happens when I see AI in my web search results.
Muse too.
I preferred when they weren’t political.

Yeah. I miss that song about rainbows and butterflies and unicorns and candy.

I know right? Of course as a kid that totally flew over my head, it was just a jam. It’s still a jam anyways haha.

Tough to peak so early.

Punk was always right.
Maybe not about the heroin.
Definitely not about the heroin.
I have always loved punk and especially the Clash.
They had some great riffs and lyrics

Just need to add church officials to that separate bathroom.
Yeah, it’s come up a few times lately but even the big popular ones you could have seen on MTV like SOAD and RATM can be chilling to listen to today.
