We got old

[Megotastrophe]

Listening to the radio with my son and Red Hot Chili Peppers was playing. My son called them an old time band. Their first album was 1984 and I was in high school. So for him it's a 40 year old band. That was like me listening to the Andrews Sisters singing about the Boovie Woogie Bugle Boy in 1984

I love the RHCP. Same with me they debuted when I was in high school and still love listening to them today and enjoy whenever a new album arrives. they released two in one year last time. I guess you call their music Funk Rock.

It is kinda scary when you put it that way. And kids (I use the term lightly) in the teens and early 20s are often living in a completely different world than those 30+ much less those 50+ but that's probably been true for every generation. The difference is the Andrews Sisters had kinda disappeared by 84, their stuff still wasn't all over pop culture (though it still popped up from time to time) whereas things like the RHCP still do. There's a great theory about how pop culture is "stuck" in a way that it never has been before in modern history (thanks to nostalgia, internet trends, creating IPs that last forever, etc.) and I think there's some truth to that even if a lot of stuff we might consider "newer" is in fact, quite old now and is viewed as such by younger people.
