Solkanar512 posted:I would actually be motivated to get more work done if I were allowed to avoid Friday afternoon traffic and sit in my yard in the summer instead. Yeah there’s some weird division between being seen as working and getting work done. I’m sure a lot of those people too would see how 40% of time for people with 9-5 is “wasted” and complain they’re not working rather than notice now the hours themselves are becoming outdated

Robo Reagan posted:go to any estate sale. any collection besides nice dinnerware is sold in huge boxes for 5 bucks for everything Even the nice dinnerware makes it to the boxes now. Nobody under 50 wants plates you have to hand wash and only use once a year. I knew someone that used fine china as their everyday plates thanks to this. They'd throw em in the dishwasher and generally just not pamper the stuff then when the plates started to get chipped and the painting started to flake they'd go to the last hours of an estate sale or two and get an entirely new set of plates for $2.

Prior to the invention of stainless steel, silver was the best bet for dinnerware. One of the big pluses it had over other materials at the time is that it has antiseptic properties. It was also the material used for mirrors prior to being able to harness aluminum to a mirror finish like we do now. I also suspect that's a factor in why vampires cast no reflection in mirrors.

The last rock band I heard of going mainstream was Greta Van Fleet and they are boomer as gently caress. Every age group has their own music, which is good. I'm always excited to hear what younger generations are making, even if it isn't my thing because it rightfully isn't made for middle aged art punk fans, because music should evolve and mutate. YouTube composer and Ur-boomer Rick Beato put out a video asking if blues based rock was dead, and gently caress I hope it is.

Pitchfork of all places had the absolute right take on them. Here are the best burns:quote:Greta Van Fleet sound like they did weed exactly once, called the cops, and tried to record a Led Zeppelin album before they arrested themselves. The poor kids from Frankenmuth, Michigan don’t even realize they’re more of an algorithmic fever dream than an actual rock band. While they’re selling out shows all over the world, somewhere in a boardroom, a half-dozen people are figuring out just how, exactly, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are supposed to fit into the SUV with the rest of the Greta Van Fleet boys on “Carpool Karaoke.” quote:They are a new kind of vampiric band who’s there to catch the runoff of original classic rock using streaming services’ data-driven business model. Greta Van Fleet exist to be swallowed into the algorithm’s churn and rack up plays, of which they already have hundreds of millions. They make music that sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin and demand very little other than forgetting how good Led Zeppelin often were. quote:It’s possible to be an exceptional classic rock vampire act but it requires something more than the major label money and vaguely Native American accoutrements. It’s why Greta Van Fleet can’t compete with, say, the Darkness circa 2003’s “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” The Darkness—who aped big rock warhorses like Queen and Aerosmith and Van Halen—were so outrageous that they had to be credulous. They had a song that went, “Get your hands off of my woman, mother fucker” and did a power metal cover of Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out).” Who would do such garish things? They dared you, tongue in cheek, to take this impossibly foolish thing very seriously. quote:What they lack in self-awareness they more than make up for in rigid self-consciousness, failing to make any fun or campy choices to lift these songs out of a morass of the worst impulses of Rush and Cream. quote:None of this lysergic-sexual thinking is within the band’s grasp, they are just swatting at crusty platitudes and copy-pasting old mythos hoping no one notices that they are too small, too inept to even put forth one meaningful, specific, original idea.

If you want rock from a band that isn't decades old already that is at all worth listening too, you pretty much have to listen to groups from outside of the US. Or just listen to metal.

Good music is so localized nowadays. It's stupid to say rock n roll is dead. Some say hip hop is dead, that is stupid too. The reason 60's/70's rock music has such a golden aura around it is because for the most part, the artists were doing as they pleased. Frank Zappa had a great observation about how in the early 60's, there were these old farts running things who just kinda threw their hands up and went "ehhh if that's what the kids want! here's your studio, your paycheck, I've got a happy hour I've never missed, cya!" Now music is controlled, we can feel it deep down that the only reason anything is getting national attention is because a group of capitalists decided that was what was appropriate for us all to hear.

Sunflower Bean. Tame Impala. Wolf People. The Amazing. Goat Girl. Lady Lamb. I don’t even listen to Rock that much and I could name those off the top of my head. Whenever someone says there’s absolutely no good new Rock anymore I have to wonder if they even looked around.

Christ, half of those are barely even rock in my opinion, more like indie nonsense. I'd never claim there's no good rock, but the most popular stuff has taken a nosedive. Forces you to have to look and it can be hard to find amongst the multitudes.
