The Older I get the Less I Can Stand Teenagers! (1 Viewer)

[Goatman Saint]

The older I get the less I like everyone.

As far as teenagers, I have one, and him and his friends are pretty nice creatures. However some of them are pretty dang annoying.

I really do believe that with age comes a certian wisdom that makes a difference. I remember when I thought I knew more than my dad. Then I had kids and found out he really knew a whole lot more than i expected.

But yeah as a general rule this group of kids coming up now really so lack a lot in the idea of how the real world works.

I like eighteenagers and nineteenagers.

The best age to be is the one you are.

If that works for you, then you can't deny everybody of other ages the same right.

I'm trying not to say that a tremendous number of comments in this thread border on the idiotic.

But everybody here loves little babies, right? Except when they're screaming uncontrollably in the airplane seat behind your, or at the next table at a restaurant.

Everybody respects the elderly, right? Except when they insist upon driving in the left lane at 58 mph, or when they are trying to write a check for their groceries in front of you and start asking a lot of questions.

Now people have less tolerance for "teenagers", I figure I can substitute any number of terms for the word "teenagers" and I'll probably have the truth.

Maybe the real problem is a frustrated sense of entitlement and control you thought you'd have by now.

But you don't.

Sorry.

Very well conceived and stated.

What happened to music after STP, Pearl jam and nirvana? Rock is all girled out. Thanks MTV, the internet and american idol.

Music goes in cycles.

You need a longer memory. The original gender bending music was "glam rock" in the 70s.

Queen, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, New York Dolls, Bowie as Ziggy Stardust etc. etc.

Androgyny goes a long way back and cycles in and out.

Grunge was a bit more "testosterony" but was boring as hell. The mid to late 90s was a meager time for music, IMO. Everything sounded the same and it seemed like very band out there was in a rush to copy the grunge sound.

If not for Oasis, the Verve, Blur, U2 and a few others the 90s would have been a complete musical wasteland for me.

I had to quit listening to the radio for awhile there.

You must have a big van to hold 17 teenagers.

You need a longer memory.

that could apply to this entire thread... it amazes me that the people who 'just don't understand' rap or hip-hop or whatever the new 'push the boundaries' trend is-- were the same people rocking out to Elvis or Alice Cooper or The Beastie Boys or whatever the old 'push the boundaries' trends were... i'm 34, and i don't get the low-ride shorts or some of the music i hear-- but i understand that it's to be expected that i don't, and that in 20 years there'll be something else for the kids to 'get' that the adults just can't understand... once you learn to embrace change instead of shaking your head and rolling your eyes-- you'll be a lot better off...

QFT.

I wear my shorts and pants down around my behind or with a definite sag and I find it more comfortable than a pair of pants cinched around my waist.

All of my pants are at least a couple inches bigger than my natural waist size so that I can let them sag - I actually find them to be considerably more comfortable that way.

I could care less what sort of fashion statement it makes.

Those are gay musicians, who at least tried to dress as men, although their mannerisms betrayed them.

In the 70s men actually started to dress like women, wear makeup etc. even if they were heterosexual (although not all were, Freddy Mercury for example). There was a deliberate sexual ambiguity in glam rock.

I have left this thread alone until now.

Yeah, and by the way that is definitely true. To whoever said it can't be comfortable, well, you're wrong.
