Art / culture that unites generations

STP, Alice In Chains ( NOT A LIT STORY!). Radiohead tho. PearlJam, Smashing Pumpkins... and on and on and on... Oh I KNOW you've heard of Oasis. Garbage.

This makes ME feel old: hearing somebody talk about 90s grunge/alternative as old music. Because I go back to 70s heavy metal and punk/new wave. I like 90s grunge/alternative but I think The Clash's music towers over that stuff.

I think in a way these pointless disputes keep us young.

There's hope... My youngest son(21) introduced me to these guys. They remind me of Motley Crue.

Just wait til @Actingup checks his notifications, he'll try and convince you that King Crimson or Emerson, Lake & Palmer or something are universally acclaimed bands that unite all generations

Yes, although I still haven't forgotten that @PennyThompson called me old. I alternately laugh and grouse about it. There's no helping it, and you have to roll with it.

King Crimson or Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Wasn’t that in the Neolithic?

I knew them well. Prog Rock wasn't my thing at the time, although I appreciate it more now.

not exactly beating the charges!

 

[ADirtyPerv]

I saw The Beths live, they are amazing! You old guys are alright sometimes

I'm 31, you turd. If I'm old, you're a teenager.

Has to be a Literotica story title, right?

Leave it to @EmilyMiller to start a simple thread and have it go to 5 pages in two days.

An interesting thing about the Star Trek franchise, it often reflected its era. In the original of the 60s, Kirk was the decisive, macho leader. In Star Trek NG of the 80s, Picard was the 'consensus' leader, with the ready room as the place where the captain made decisions. And the latest from the franchise?

Funny, I'm one of the few who watched ST in its original release.

Yep. I've been put in that boat as well, at one point some time ago I was (sarcastically) referred to as 'dad'

Every generation comes around to Shakespeare eventually. Maybe not when they're 16 but eventually.

I thought the current term was Unc. My son runs some game tournaments and the college kids have started calling him Unc. Not sure if that bothered him or me more. I was already older than all the other parents at his little league games and things. And now he's old?

And almost half of them survive...

EDIT; According to Google -
Based on an analysis of Shakespeare's 371 plays, the survival rate of main characters varies heavily by genre, with a general trend that just under half of the major characters in his total body of work (including histories, tragedies, and comedies) survive.

Well the alternative is "Daddy," and we can't have that!

I have always adored Shakespeare

Around here, college kids are unc.

It's the tweeners who say that.

Homer. There's at least 2 translations of the Iliad per generation I swear. Not complaining, I have 4? I think
