Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

ENworld is best for not RPG news, D&D discussion, or brainstorming with likeminded folks. It is best for a regular reminder how often people conflate their own experiences with everyone’s reality. Myself included.

What are people going to believe, their experiences or yours?

Yes, if you honestly think there is no good music anymore, you either got imprinted on an era, or are just simply painfully unaware of what is being made.

I figure a big part of it is plain old survivor bias. There was a lot of crap way back then, but it's the good stuff we remember. Well, mostly.

Its been noted how much of an imprint music of a time can make on a significant amount of people. Its not like folks didnt say music was no good anymore in the 60's, 70's, 80's too. So, some of it is taste. The other part is how music is consumed. Its no longer as concentrated as it once was. You had to make zero effort everywhere you went was posters, and radios stations playin, and music videos running, etc.. Now thats still happening but its a diverse approach spread out far and wide.

Just found out some awful news. Someone I worked with for a good number of years was moved to a centralized team a few years ago. That team has now been eliminated and the work sent to another team. Not much I can do for the person as they need to search for a new role. However, the good news is they have 60 days still in their current role and the company seems pretty open to helping them find a landing spot. Still...its kind of nerve wracking.

I had the advantage that I considered most of the music that dropped in my peak-absorption period (late 70's) pretty much trash; I'll listen to 60's rock and 80's new wave before I want anything to do with most of that.

Isn't a gang member having a motorcycle helmet that reads "omerta" like having a t-shirt that reads "Ask me about Fight Club?"

What if the helmet reads "kayfabe?"

Part of it is tell folks, particularly rivals, tread carefully.
