The thing you have to remember is THIS IS DEFINITELY ABOUT VAN HALEN theres nothing else behind it, I'm just concerned that she might not be up on her musical influences I'm not using this as a convenient excuse for anything.

Ignite Memories posted:Pedo guy is just, like, an expression Apologies to our South African posters Anyway this all comes from a bit on Kimmel where they on purpose asked her about pop culture from 20 years before she was born, she also didn't know who Huey Lewis and the News or Run DMC were, who Gizmo from Gremlins was, what Mr T's catchphrase was, what Cabbage Patch Kids were and had never seen an episode of The Cosby Show but somehow it's just the van halen thing (it's because fans of 80s rear end rock are like we assume)

quote:Wolfgang has said that he did not know his father was a famous musician until he "started picking up CDs and saw his [Eddie's] picture on them" This homeschooled boy is 10 years older than Eilish and even he hadn't heard of Van Halen. That is how much they vanished from the cultural landscape.

chitoryu12 posted:If you're a professional musician there's a lot of musical influence that dates back to before you were born. Van Halen isn't like Star Wars as a permanent cultural touchstone for multiple generations but they're also a band that remained famous and commonly played on the radio and in films/TV decades after their most prominent songs were recorded, and Eddie Van Halen is the kind of guitarist that everyone who plays more guitar than a few acoustic songs to get laid at parties knows. They're one of the best selling music artists of all time, so a professional musician having never heard of them before when they're still alive and performing is actually really weird. Then again, Billie's music is really generic and interchangeable with a ton of other modern bands and she'll probably be forgotten in the sands of time long before Van Halen. If you want to take this route then Kanye's legacy will outlive Van Halen's by several decades. Just as Van Halen outlived whatever was popular from 1920-1940 or whatever. Pop culture changes, and your favs arent special. chitoryu12 posted:Van Halen is one of the most successful bands in history Only if you consider bands in the last 40 years to be all of musical history. They'll never stand the test of time like Beethoven or Bach (who will themselves be forgotten one day). Look, you're old and the things you like aren't popular any more, and that's ok. You're going to die and everything you loved as a kid and as a man-child will die before you do, and that's ok. Just accept it and stop pretending that your shitass dad-rock is groundbreaking instead of just what happened to sell the most albums to idiots who's brains are irreparably damaged by leaded gasoline fumes.

It's really weird of Kimmel's staff to throw The Cosby Show in there. There are lots of 80s sitcoms whose stars aren't in prison for being serial rapists. ALF has escaped justice to this day.Sulla Faex posted:Side bar from van Halen chat: Alex Hirsch is the creator of gravity falls no less, which is a legitimately fantastic show The best thing about a Disney+ sub other than The Perils of Space Baby
