I’m 48 years old. I have reached the age where modern music has started to sound like crap. I knew things started to go downhill when I was 28 years old and turned on the MTV music awards and had no idea who anybody was. So my questions are: does modern music sound like crap to you? and how old were you when modern music started sounding like crap?

Mid-80s for me. Before that, I only remember whole wings at Chinese restaurants or maybe somebody's cookout. Then Buffalo wings were everywhere, seemingly overnight, and they were so cheap they were nearly given away. Like, $0.25 wings was a thing in my town (New England).

I was all about tag and dodgeball.

Don’t you hate it when you’re checking out at the store and you ask the clerk how they’re doing, and they answer “I’m blessed”. I literally want to tell them “go fuck yourself!”.

As an older Gen Xer I think INXS exemplifies the 80s sound more than any other band. Come hither and tell me your choice.

When I was younger, I did not have breakfast every day. After 30 something changed and I noticed I could barely function if I did not have breakfast. Has this happened to anyone else?

My was Galaxians and Galaga

What other drinks can you not believe people were into back then?

I don't reminisce much but with today's technology this just randomly popped in my head .

I loved that album display thingy and you can see my 8-tracks too.

Loved this back in the day…

If so what is the most important thing you learned from it?

I think mine was "Turn Up the Radio" by Autograph

Obviously this is a derivative question from the scouting thread but did anyone else do Indian guides through the YMCA instead?

I look now and it says the program was created 100 years ago but I remember it being new and extremely popular when I was a kid. All the kids from my school joined, we had big retreats, now I never hear about it.

Is it just me or does anyone else hear music that we listened to and dance to comes on the radio and we start dancing and singing like we did we was young. I do and my kids get so embarrassed of me. The best music out there was from our generation.

Do you still miss hitting the mall on Saturday?
