Music makes the man, ever notice that?
You can say the stereotype is false but its not.
You’re generic Joe is going to put on the top 40 and be happy as a clam with it. Love some songs hate some others but generic and bland as toast at a diner, hes happy with it.
Easy Listening? Same only older. No real passions, spoon fed complacency no fire.
Metal Heads? Yeah, depending on the age. Over 35, head bang in car pools remembering the time they pissed on the keg party fire, under 35 pissing on the keg party fire.
Dance over 35 remembering how easy it was to get laid in clubs when the 7 and 7’s were 2 for 1. Under 35, praying your not the designated driver so you can get laid. While I’m on this one.. when the hell did it become OK to hit the dance floor with your purse on your arm? Here’s a tip have a friend hold your bag you look like a fucking idiot and if you’re carrying what appears to be a horse saddle with hardware get that fucking thing out of my way.
Country? Under 35, in love and done wrong. Starry eyed and loving nature. Over 35 bitter and divorced with a pick up and a chip on your shoulder.
If you line dance you’re so fucking square it don’t done matter.
Classical? under 35 your parents jammed it down your throat and you succumbed. Over35, you’re trying to impress or you actually are very diverse, that’s me
Indie? Under 35 you’re battling with your sexuality. You want to be vegan but you have no self discipline. You want to be unique but your not sure how. Over 35? Weirdo, may eventually breed dogs, chances are good you burn incense. You’re the new hippy.
Punk/hardcore? Under 35 you want to rebel the noise pisses off your folks and if you’re a guy, chicks dig you cuz you’re dangerous. If you’re a chick, guys think you’re gay. Over 35 you hate society but are too busy paying your mortgage to fight the system.
Scene? What the hell is scene? Under 35 you’re extending your childhood and you’re somewhat self absorbed. Over 35 you’re a freak.
So what do you do?
Best bet is to throw your world into shuffle. With a bit of all these elements you can actually be a decent admirable member of mankind.
But don’t kid yourself its virtually impossible. We are a society of labelers. I adore labeling people, its what I do best.
I can add to this but I’d just piss off people even more.. or is that the point of writing something like this anyway?
