I just joined this whole thing, lurked for a minute then signed up. If there is a proper introduction page and I've missed it, I do apologize. And, can I post more than 1 thing per thread? I'll try it anyway.
I am old, not so bitter but more tired than anything and as much as I practice having more patience it's not working out.
So people (and this seems to be younger people more than anything) who think that everything they like is a "classic." "Everything Drake performs on is a classic." No, it's not. It's mediocre, and mediocrity is so celebrated these days its absurd. You like Drake? He really speaks to you, huh? That's great, Wu-tang does the same for me. But everything is not a classic just because it speaks to you. So much music is disposable and will be forgotten in 2-3 years, give it time. "Classic" for me is the first Nas album, the first Pete Rock and CL Smooth album, Black Sabbath's Vol.4 album, Fugazi's Repeater... whatever.
