    I'm amused by all the folks in "my generation" (and even a bit younger) complaining about #GRAMMYs last night, specifically about the "lewd" dancing, revealing costumes, and dirty songs. When is it that we became our parents and grandparents? 1/

        I'm equally amused at their loud and obnoxious complaining that there's "no good music anymore." That's utter BS. There's lots of great music out there. It's just that most of it doesn't get nominated for #GRAMMYs and you have to look for it. 2/

        In any event, it appears that most people develop their musical tastes in their teens and early twenties. Whatever music was popular then is generally what they like forever, and, by the time they're in their 40s, they often have a hard time with music the "kids" find popular. 3/

        This seems to be a fairly universal phenomenon, dating back to my parents' and grandparents' generation and before. We all know that middle-aged and older people were complaining about kids and that nasty, dirty jazz in the 1920s. 4/

        People also have selective memory. They forget all the utter dreck that was released when they were young and remember the great music. Trust me, there was a lot of execrable, crappy music released during my teen and young adult years in the 1970s-80s. It just didn't survive. 5/

        In any event, I find it quite tiresome to hear someone in my age range bemoan the "fact" that there's "no good music anymore" and assert that the music of their youth was far superior to today's music. They never consider the more likely possibility that they just got old. 6/6

        Yes! They sound like they're complaining about Elvis's hips.

        Yep. They're like the parents of the 1950s bemoaning Elvis' hipshake and yearning for Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller.

        I grew up watching Madonna’s cone bra and Prince’s dancing. Plus I still love gangster rap and the unedited lyrics. I can pretty much handle everything 😁

        Gangster rap bothers me a bit more now, not because of the swearing but more because of the really nasty misogyny in a lot of those songs.

        It’s a travesty. Boobies and cussing and hips swiveling. I remember when America was great and it’s when I was 8 years old. /s
