We have become our parents

That is the only logical conclusion that can be reached for those of us born between 1965 and 1985. Like our parents before us, we bemoan the lack of "good music" today--rap continues to decline, rock hardly feels less irrelevant, country music is what it is, other genres come and go fadwise, and I won't even mention pop.

Back in the day--'80s and '90s for you youngsters--we mocked or laughed at our parents when they talked about music from "the good old days" being better than our kind of music.

Now, the shoe's on the other foot as the music on the radio sounds all the same and most TV networks have shunned music for reality shows and reruns of old television shows. This has taken place with seemingly no end in sight.
