So I've noticed that at the shows I go to now regardless of age restrictions there will always be more people my age than people under legal drinking age much less 18 present. There doesn't seem to be in any fresh blood in the scene, even at a show for a band like The Wonder Years who are REALLY big by underground standards. I don't hear of shows being booked in quickly rented out venues like high school gyms* or "youth center" type venues anymore, it's always bars or a house show. Even though 21+ shows don't really happen in Minneapolis (it's perfectly legal for people 18 and up to enter bars in the city as people are marked as over 21 or not ala "beer bracelet" so all bars have 18+ shows), it's not really an issue because just about everyone at a show has a beer bracelet ANYWAY. Like I said in a post awhile back, how many of today's teenagers have even heard of Taking Back Sunday? Hell their average fan age is probably like 27 or something today!

But when I was in high school, this was not the case. I liked Minor Threat and Rites of Spring, and the modern day descendents of those bands. And those bands were from around 15 years ago then. So why aren't today's teenagers appreciating this?

Could it be that BRTD has finally become an old man?

These kids and their loud music. They have no taste! It's not like our generation...

Although in this case it's more "these kids and their NOT loud music"...

Reminds me of a thread where I complained about Snapchat and these were some replies:

"BRTD, you sound like you're 30."
"BRTD can't stand kids today with their hippity hop music and snappy chats."

less talent + less vocal ability → growth of hip-hop and rap (or, as i like to call it, a menace to society)

Contrary to what you believe when you were in high school a majority of people did not like scene music, probably way less than 5% did.

You were 18 in what, 2002? The youth aren't going to stay forever the way they were in 2002.

Plenty of things have lifespans of more than fourteen but less than twenty-eight years.

No, I like good music from before even you were born. Your music is trash.
