What's wrong with music these days?

Ok, now they've gone and done it. I always knew that the day would come when Nirvana and Pearl Jam got labeled as classic rock. I knew it would make me feel old. I just didn't know that day would come so soon.

So, I just had my 26th birthday on Easter, which means I'm still in my mid 20's, albeit the last year. Next year I embark on the journey that is known as "late 20's", which I ponder, wasn't I just in my teens not so long ago, or at least my early 20's?

I know it's not old, but hey, it all goes downhill right? I mean 18 you can buy cigs, porno and get tatted up. 21 you can drink yourself into a coma at the bar if you want. 25, your insurance goes down (for six months anyway until you get a DUI). What is there left to look forward to? Retirement? I think not for my generation and beyond.

Senility is what we can look forward to. I've noticed over the last half decade that I hate 96% of what's on the radio. Compared to ten years ago, when I hated 66%.

My theory is that I'm starting to enter that phase where I will automatically hate whatever my daughter is listening to in 5 years. Unless of course it's whatever I listen to anyway, but that's highly unlikely.

I have, however been trying to corrupt her young mind and got her interested in drums and guitar. I wouldn't be a true rock and roll dad if I didn't. So, in case my ex is reading this: you're quite welcome.
