How come the young proles have forgotten how to rock?
 

Before you start going blah blah blah, let me tell you that not many of the old bags know how to either , in fact i can think of two right now and that's really streching it.

only 2?

me and me.haven't you heard them?you're rubbish and the irony that you so want to pass around with your username makes you even more crap thatn i'd normally think crap looks and feels like.

I had a feeling you were going to say "my left testicle, and my right one too.".

I'm old, and I rock so damned hard I sometimes fall out of my wheelchair.

what are proles?

Illiterate Polish people.

Its the economy stupid!

I don't agree because if you haven't found music out today that doesn't rock you then you are not looking hard enough, because now more than ever there is more than enough(bad and good) music.

finding music is easier now than its ever been, as such fashion and trends have become irrelavant, cos the adventurous listener can find interesting diversions more easily. You read about Oasis, you discover The SEx Pistols, you read about them you disvoer Joy Division, you discover The Fall, you discover Sonic Youth, you discover Can...
It all depends how far along the chain of references you are prepared to go

how many people are prepared to put effort into music though?

at most you can expect people to read a magazine and follow references in there. but otherwise, most people i come into contact with on a daily basis just have ipods full of singles.

oh, and the kaiser chiefs albums.

youve got to be passionate about music to be willing to explore it. most people arent.

true, but my point is that if you are, its easier to do than ever thanks to the internet and i see that as a very good thing

yeah, totally. if it werent for the internet i think i may possibly still be relying on the NME for music stuff. And that got boring three years ago.

thankls! I knew I had heard that term before. shiiiit.

oh, it goes even further...

*Er, upon seeing the thread more, I note that mr !@#$%! has this covered...

OH! sarramkrop is porkmarras. I've been wondering who this douchebag out of nowhere was... I guess that answers it, and it makes sense...
