[–]icapants 141 points142 points ago

This is pretty much how I feel being in college at 30. Every now and then a professor will make a comment about something that happened in the early 90's and follow it up with "but you're all too young to remember that."

And then I die a little inside.

[–]dalsgaard 49 points50 points ago

Someone asked me the other day: "Hey, you're older than me. You must be old enough to remember"....

I assumed he was going to end that sentence with "When the Berlin wall fell in 1989", but instead he said: "Tour de france 1996". Yes, dude. I remember. In fact, 1996 didn't feel that long ago until just now.

[–]Canarka 25 points26 points ago

I feel the same way. I'm 27 at College with half my program being 17/18 year old kids. Some of my profs and flight instructors know I'm older so they single me out when they make jokes like that.

[–]catonic 5 points6 points ago

How many profs are you older than?

[–]nermid 11 points12 points ago

Going back to college at 25. My professors are doing the same thing with the late '90s and early '00s, and the other students genuinely aren't old enough to get it. Blows my mind.

Of course, it may not be age at all. There was a kid in my math class who I'm fairly certain thought JFK was a fictional TV character.

[–]uncleDamfee 7 points8 points ago

Why would kids in college not remember... Oh....shit.

[–]RubySauce 3 points4 points ago

The last class I took, I was older than the instructor so... Yeah.

[–]konydanza 1068 points1069 points ago

Music Band blows nowadays. They peaked at Platinum Album and then just dropped off from there.

[–]OccasionallyWitty 700 points701 points ago

I dunno, I thought Comeback Album was pretty good. It had their original lineup.

[–]konydanza 563 points564 points ago

Yeah, but that was after Lead Guitarist got out of rehab. Shit just wasn't the same, man.

[–]Froggy_hop 595 points596 points ago

You guys are posers. I've been listening to them since First Album. Shit was real back then. Ever since they got picked up by Music Label, you can tell it's just about the money. That's why Original Bassist left.

[–]konydanza 488 points489 points ago

Fuck off dude, I've known Occasional Keyboard Player for years. I bet you haven't even heard of Unreleased EP.

[–]puddlesplasher 395 points396 points ago

I'm Facebook friends with Bestfriend Roadie. You could say I'm pretty close with Music Band.

[–]konydanza 343 points344 points ago

Didn't she used to date Rhythm Guitarist?

[–]puddlesplasher 293 points294 points ago

I think so. Wasn't there a song about her on Second Album?

[–]konydanza 321 points322 points ago

No, that was actually supposed to be a reference to Bass Player's coke addiction. Common misconception.

[–]Kr0nos 138 points139 points ago

I wonder what they'd be producing know if it weren't for Iconic First Singer's tragic death.

[–]KingsofCascadia 25 points26 points ago

And thus concludes /r/Music

[–]mikevaughn 92 points93 points ago

[–]impossibru65 11 points12 points ago

Man, I remember when Hit Song was released. Overplayed to shit.

[–]puddlesplasher 100 points101 points ago

These are all amazing. Thank you, everyone.

[–]Imhere4lulz 71 points72 points ago

Yeah, then dumped him for Drummer so Music Band split for a year and then replaced Rhythm Guitarist for New Rhythm Guitarist

[–]konydanza 88 points89 points ago

Yeah I remember that, have you heard Side Project? They're Rhythm Guitarist's side project, they're not bad.

[–]HabitOfCreature 40 points41 points ago

Yeah. Did you know their drummer is Drummer from 80's Prog Band Pretentious People Pretends to Like? I really liked that band.

[–]zelmerszoetrop 31 points32 points ago

I know you guys are being facetious, but this is pretty spot on for the story of Murder City Devils and the psuedo-successor band Pretty Girls Make Graves.

[–]JeffTD 10 points11 points ago

Eeeesh, roadie ≠ groupie, and virtually no band has a female roadie. TM or FoH, maybe, but definitely not roadie.

Source: too many tours.

[–]konydanza 28 points29 points ago

No, you're thinking of Obsessed Groupie, who tried to fuck all of them. Looks can be deceiving, I met Bestfriend Roadie when Occasional Keyboard Player got me backstage passes to their show at Big Venue, she can pull her weight and more.

[–]JeffTD 17 points18 points ago

Sorry, I was thinking of Feminine Roadie. Butch Roadie can definitely handle her own shit and even picks up lot lizards of her own!

[–]ffca 22 points23 points ago

I've been a fan since before they sent Demo Song to Music Label and Other Music Label. I'm even a fan of Original Bassist and Frontman Side Project.

[–]OSULVN 31 points32 points ago

I'm eating a banana.

[–]konydanza 78 points79 points ago

Are you kidding? I'm Eating A Banana was their worst album! I swear it's like New Vocalist wasn't even trying to write something unique.

[–]peoplerproblems 2 points3 points ago

No way. It was much better than Vague Album. Random Girl's Name was exactly the same as Ex-Girlfriend, with a all the names swapped.

[–]tealparadise 88 points89 points ago

Are you kidding? They totally sold out for Platinum Album. You should listen to NearlyEquallySucessful Previous album if you wanna hear their real stuff.

[–]konydanza 42 points43 points ago

Well as long as we're going down that road, why not talk about Sophomore Album from their early days before Old Drummer died?

[–]TACOfarmerXD 31 points32 points ago

Old Drummer died in a horrible gardening accident didn't he?

[–]Howard_Beale 24 points25 points ago

That's what I heard. Oddly enough it wasn't his garden.

[–]crsini 20 points21 points ago

Stranger still, it wasn't an accident.

[–]mygamerv 17 points18 points ago

Also strange, it wasn't horrible.

[–]USheep 4 points5 points ago

If you play last song of last album backwards you hear his voice.

[–]stev042 25 points26 points ago

Pshaw. I was into them since Self-Pressed E.P., and thought they totally sold out with Major Label Debut.

[–]konydanza 42 points43 points ago

I think one thing we can all agree on is that Christmas Album sucked dick.

[–]CLint_FLicker 29 points30 points ago

I saw them at Outdoor Music Festival. They werent too bad.

[–]thatrangaguy 33 points34 points ago

AMA REQUEST: Music Band

[–]Ubaralook 3 points4 points ago

I'm the vocalist, Rival Singer, for Rival Band. I can tell you that anything that Music Band will tell you is a lie.

[–]palehorse864 14 points15 points ago

They still have good music. I really liked Lame Love Ballad Licensed By Popular Motion Picture.

[–]hiding_from_my_gf 41 points42 points ago

as a 30 year old, this makes me never want to wear my sublime shirt ever again.

[–]LNMagic 45 points46 points ago

It's okay. After Drug Overdose, Music Band gets way more airtime.

[–]Cobruh 4 points5 points ago

It's a shame. I was really into SuicideLeadVocalistof90sGrungebandfromSeattle, he had a great voice.

[–]xQuailmanx 3 points4 points ago

[–]fitzspecial 21 points22 points ago

[–]KOWguy 495 points496 points ago

[–]vebent 54 points55 points ago

Then you need to watch Boardwalk Empire. Especially the end of season 2. He's fuckin awesome.

[–]simpledumb 15 points16 points ago

Having binged on the four new episodes recently, this picture is infinitely more hilarious. Oh god Nucky, why.

[–]Whiskey7 4 points5 points ago

[–]Leap-Day_William 110 points111 points ago

Walter yelling at Steve Buscemi's character in the Big Lebowski is still one of my favorite things ever.

[–]lovegunsauce 12 points13 points ago

The man's a pederast

[–]BacklashSamurai 15 points16 points ago

I concur, but its unfortunate he is one of those great actors who's never been considered for an Oscar.

[–]swb1192 11 points12 points ago

I love sharing the same last name as him. Lots of people know how to spell Buscemi because of him.

[–]IdiotMD 3 points4 points ago

We meet again, S.W. Buscemi, who was born in 1992!

[–]IMightBeLyingToYou 4 points5 points ago

Born in 1192.

[–]JBHUTT09 3 points4 points ago

I've met him and he's as awesome as you'd think he is.

[–]Henchman05 189 points190 points ago

Boy the plotline of Boardwalk Empire sure is going downhill

[–]iseetrolledpeople 17 points18 points ago

Gyp is making everybody crazy.

[–]dumpydouche 8 points9 points ago

WHY don't they just bring gas tanks with them and fill up outside of Tabor Heights. WHY?!?!?!

Were gas tanks not invented yet in the 1920's?

[–]no_fatties 4 points5 points ago

No room for gas tanks with all that booze in the trunk.

[–]Catsler 7 points8 points ago

Whatdid you say tuh me?

[–]Reptarftw 4 points5 points ago

How's that?

[–]Justascienceteacher 155 points156 points ago

Yeah, I felt about like that when I ran into one of my old students at a club around here.

.....most awkward grind session I've ever had, but it was a fun night.

[–]DAngelo_Barksdale 76 points77 points ago

not sure if grind session or "grind session"

[–]DrWinstonOBoogie 47 points48 points ago

That was actually pretty goddamn sick.

[–]charlesviper 30 points31 points ago

[–]thefreq 7 points8 points ago

Oh, psh, that's nothing. If the Tony Hawk games have told me right, he should be able to do a double backflip 360 under-heel-kick-impossible-flip.

[–]circle_ 13 points14 points ago

My friends and I decided to take up skateboarding in our mid 20's. We named our gang "Boy Grinders".

This has gone Fargo enough

[–]TheDanSandwich 5 points6 points ago

The Big Lebowski.

[–]TACOfarmerXD 6 points7 points ago

Is boardwalk empire good? I've been meaning to check it out but I always forget

[–]CranberryBogMonster 8 points9 points ago

It's fantastic. It doesn't get talked about as much as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, or Homeland for example, but it's just as good. It's one of the top dramas on TV right now.

It might take a little while to get into for some viewers but it really picks up over time, and Steve Buscemi is consistently wonderful as the lead character. If you like any of HBO's other stuff you'd probably enjoy it.

[–]captureMMstature 5 points6 points ago

It's amazing.

[–]mrmcgee 4 points5 points ago

It's awesome. I always highly recommend it to anyone that asks. Great characters, plot, dialogue, and acting with the added bonus of great violence and gore. It meets the standard of a really good HBO show, basically.

[–]YMCAle 6 points7 points ago

Also, boobs everywhere. If you're into that sort of thing.

[–]Randominterloper 57 points58 points ago

As a bouncer at a gay club, I'd also like to add how amusing this is whenever I see someone 35 or older spit game to the freshly minted 21 year olds. Happens all the damn time and successfully too.

[–]poopdeck 19 points20 points ago

Successfully? I smile.

[–]Randominterloper 23 points24 points ago

Money talks. Quite loudly.

[–]PirateKilt 4 points5 points ago

[–]Strideo 3 points4 points ago

Does . . . does being yourself ever work?

I was hoping genuine sincerity might have some appeal rather than obviously trying to be "hip" like the kids.

(and no, I'm not trying to date youngsters)

[–]Randominterloper 4 points5 points ago

I guess...but more often than not, the prey gets persuaded with quite a bit of alcohol and a hushed promise of a good time with no ill intentions. None of my business to know what happens after they leave but the ones that I'd never expect to have a chance rock a AMEX black or have a thick, THICK roll of frankies to keep the good time going.

P.S. Soft, 'fun' drugs help grease the wheels. I.e. Molly, Mary and the like.

[–]sajason 6 points7 points ago

Experience in talking to women and knowing what they want makes it a lot better. Plus, being 30+ means you have already been through the "get wasted and party it up" attitude and know how to handle your liquor better so you actually sound like a prince charming versus a rambling dumbass when talking to tipsy women.

[–]Snapdad 32 points33 points ago

Spit game? Is that when you eat some deer meat and spit it out?

[–]Randominterloper 3 points4 points ago

Maybe if they were part of Honey BooBoo's progeny.

Haha, I went out clubbing last weekend, and it was the first time I've ever looked around and had that feeling that I was the oldest person there (29).

Everyone looked 16.

[–]ratscistudent 29 points30 points ago

Out of curiosity, how old are you? I'm on the young side (mid 20s) and love clubbing. I'm wondering when it will start feeling weird... or if I should be feeling weird already.

[–]headzoo 58 points59 points ago

When the doormen, bartenders, waitresses, or girls you're hitting on call you sir, it's getting weird.

[–]Rfvthn 24 points25 points ago

Oh god. That's why the girls have been calling me sir?? This isn't helping my paranoia

[–]HarmonicMinorShred 10 points11 points ago

no no, if a girl calls you sir or Mr, that's good ;)

[–]VaiZone 3 points4 points ago

I'm 34 and I still get ID'd.

[–]dlok86 4 points5 points ago

You're doing it right.

[–]zersch 6 points7 points ago

I'm 26 and just lay my ID out on the counter before they have a chance to ask. Force of habit. The only time I've gotten a comment on it was at a Gamestop. "I was going to assume you weren't 12," he said as he admired my beard.

[–]ThatBeardedCarGuy -1 points0 points ago

I haven't been ID'd since I was 16. :/

[–]sosuhme 46 points47 points ago

I'm 27 and the percentage of popular music I am offended by has gone from about 50% 5 years ago to about 90%. The end is fucking nigh my friend.

[–]ceeker 6 points7 points ago

I feel ya. I'm in that same situation. Still, fuck it, house parties are more fun anyway.

[–]sosuhme 9 points10 points ago

The last time I crashed a house party I was the oldest one there. Ugh.

[–]monacelli 2 points3 points ago

I know this feel. When I listen to some of the up and coming rap artists I think, "This is alright, but I can tell they're only like 19." Then I remember that I am already 5 years older than Biggie and Pac were when they died.

[–]quitelargeballs -1 points0 points ago

fucking. dubstep.

[–]gbr4rmunchkin 21 points22 points ago

when you actually balk at the $10 drinks and decide to goto a quiet pub

[–]abacafuckingdabra 14 points15 points ago

With me it started a little before 30. Then it got weird to go to the places I went when I was in my 20's. The young crowd is just not interested in you anymore. Now I go to clubs with a bit more older people and it's almost the same again ..just with more drugs.

[–]merkmerk73 3 points4 points ago

Part of your problem is caring about the young crowd.

If you're there just doing your own thing and you don't give a shit about the little twats that were born in 2005, then you're fine, but if you're looking around desperate to be accepted they'll cast you out like a sodomite.

[–]ErenVae 4 points5 points ago

I'm going to start questioning my attendance at clubs post-30. IMO 20's is fine.

[–]throwAwayMama123 2 points3 points ago

Past 35 is usually stale.

[–]farmthis 43 points44 points ago

This... terrifies me.

I'm 27. And I do feel like Steve Buscemi. Ah, to be 22 and drunk enough to sing Karaoke again...

Fuck that, actually. I'll sit here drinking free expired IPAs and broswing reddit. ALONE!

[–]joeblessyou 58 points59 points ago

The problem lies in wanting to fit in with "young" people. I don't need to fit in with them, they can suck a dick. I will party harder than them and still have money to do cool things the next day.

[–]Frankeh 28 points29 points ago

Money, yes. Energy/youthful ability to not suffer hangovers regardless of obscene alcohol intake? Not likely.

I miss my ability to wake up the next day and be absolutely fine.

When I was 19 I literally downed 700ml of whiskey, puked up an hour later, passed out then when I woke up the next day I was fine.

If i did that now I'd be in hospital/bed for 3 days.

I'm jealous of their fresh virgin livers.

[–]IANAPUA_Yet 66 points67 points ago

When I was 19 I literally downed 700ml of whiskey, puked up an hour later, passed out then when I woke up the next day I was fine.

That's because you puked half of it out and slept away the rest of the hangover. There's no magic to it.

[–]mitotajc 12 points13 points ago

Drinking to the point of puking doesn't generally make me feel like sunshine the next day.

[–]RapedByPlushies 2 points3 points ago

Having to mute your phone to puke while you talk to your tax attorney on a 10am call the next morning makes you feel like sunshine even less.

[–]Alexnader- 5 points6 points ago

Actually there is, or rather there's science suggesting that teenage brains are affected by alcohol differently to adult ones. This was a hard subject to google search a source in a minute for though.

[–]YIthinkUgotdownvoted 5 points6 points ago

your dash mislead me to believe you were downvoted

[–]laddergoat89 1 point2 points ago

Man, back at uni I'd drink 50+ml of Vodka before going out and then a nights worth of club drinks, wake up the next day, have a sandwich and be fine.

A few weeks ago I had 3 7% beers and woke up feeling like my brain was 3x it's usual size.

[–]DarKnightofCydonia 7 points8 points ago

I'm 18 and have a 28 year old flatmate who still goes out and parties with the undergrads. It's not creepy, he just loves partying and having a good time. Just go out and be cool.

[–]smackson 15 points16 points ago

I'll place my comment here...

I'm 41 and I went to fucking great party last Friday where I danced my ass off to ummmm... i dunno... some hot Brazilian House DJ

I played drums at this event.

haha, shut up and dance, 27-year-old!

[–]sosuhme 3 points4 points ago

Are you me?

[–]smokyexe 5 points6 points ago

I'm 23 and i already feel that way but then again I do act like and old grumpy man that is sick of everything and just wants to stay home.

[–]ooh_lawd 9 points10 points ago

This pic just woke me up I think. I'm getting to 40 and I feel more connection to generations X and Y :/

[–]wishanem 6 points7 points ago

Are you surprised to feel a connection to Gen X? Wikipedia says you're right in the middle of that age group (30-50 year olds).

As an older Gen Y I don't feel a connection to my cohort at all. I grew up with a rotary phone, an Atari, and a DOS computer, and I remember how cool getting dial-up internet in 1994 was. I was about 10 before I realized the USSR had broken up because it still existed in so many movies. I never had cable TV, and my family didn't get a microwave until I was a teenager.

What is my connection to an 18 year old who was in 2nd grade on 9/11, and was texting in class at the age of 12? Whatever it is, I don't feel it. I'd be surprised to ever feel any connection to my generation.

There is so much difference and variety between different people's lives that I find the whole "Generation" paradigm to be vague to the point of uselessness.

Sorry about the rant! Your comment set off some sort of chain reaction in my head.

Well dang, I thought gen X and Y were those who are now in the 15-25 range. Never bothered to look up the meaning of the terms. Thanks for correcting me.

You know, it's really weird and freaking me out, but Im literally watching this episode and paused after this scene to check reddit.

Too close to home

True, true... Makes me feel so old :(

What club? I never have this problem at the Junior Ganymede or at the Senior Conservative. The Drones' is a bit hit and miss, but the other two are fine, respectable clubs for the discriminating gentleman.

Fight club.

As a 31 year old dad, this is pretty much how I feel all the time around my MBA peers. I got these mid-late 20 year olds running around doing a ridiculous number of projects, and having some pretty ridiculous social life, while there's me, going home every day at 7 at the latest, and going to sleep by 10:00. I just don't have the energy these guys have anymore. I feel so old around these people, despite being the same age.

Confused Brit here: Why do people (and I mean North Americans) refer to 'the club' all the time? It's like there's only one 'club' in all of existence. What's wrong with 'a club?' Always got me. Particularly in hip hop/R n B. Please ELI5.

You know how you say "the pub?"

Same thing.

[–]bradlingdale 2 points3 points ago

Make sense. I totally forget about this.

"The store", "the doctor's", "the pool", park, beach, gym. Applies to plenty of things. Maybe it's not as common in the Queen's English, although "I'm going to a gym" sounds pretty awkward to me.

Same reason Dylan didn't write "All Along a Watchtower".

In general usage we do say "a club". But for songwriting, definite articles sound better.

[–]MAD_JIHAD 4 points5 points ago

Wow what club are you going to? The kool kids klub in elementary is not for adults.

[–]EmceCocks 10 points11 points ago

What about the pen15 club?

[–]pwndcake 4 points5 points ago

Try Lab14 instead. Just for a change of pace. You might like it.
