The delineation between different types of "rock" music is gay
The delineation, or the act of naming the delineations? Because the differences and groupings are pretty obvious sometimes no matter what.
Modern indie rock and it's commercialisation within the high-street fashion cartel is the gayest on planet earth since Emos.
Back in my grandpa day, "emo" meant things like
-- which was a very different musical style and approach than the garbage that came after it and later commandeered the label. So when people say "emo", I know what they mean. But I also know they really don't have a clue as to what was originally called emo. (Just look at the YouTube comments on the linked video.)
A part of me always wished I had been old enough to have 8 tracks. I don't even think my mother had them anymore, we were mainly a record and cassette family until CDs.
I was probably not technically old enough to have 8-tracks, but that was part of the appeal at the time.
CD's suck. All the ones I have in my car have started to skip from being thrown around and scratched by my handbrake turns.
MP3 is where it's at. Or the radio.
Yeah, but you do realize MP3s are a compressed, lossy format with much crappier sound quality, yes? I spit out my beer every time I see some car company like BMW advertising their "futuristic, top-of-the-art mp3 player" in their autos, thinking how they basically take audio quality a step back into the early 1970s.
