That's my biggest problem. I am actively working to become less cynical about music. People have whined about rock being a nostalgia trip for eons.. but I've been to several shows recently that were pretty fucking thrilling that some twat would probably call 'nostalgic' or 'ahistorical' (again, Drunkdriver, I can't talk about them enough). You can definitely look critically at something... but when it gets too cerebral all the fun is taken out.
