A comment I made about music kids listened to and the stuff us old people did by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 10/02/2011, 7:58pm PDT
I was once telling an 11-year-old in a video comment about how the music she likes will be different from what people my age (50) listened to, and how we won't like it, then when she grows up it will be the reverse. It's edited from my blog entry of two years ago.

"And your parents. By the time you turn 15 or 16 you're really going to hate them because of all the things they won't let you do that you think you should... You'll find the music they listened to, to be tasteless and boring, and they'll find the music you listen to incomprehensible and vulgar...

"Then, perhaps, someday in the future you'll get married and have kids, and guess what? You'll be doing the same things that your parents did... Then you'll discover your kids are doing the same things you did when you were their age - modified by the things and experiences that they will have which will be different from your own - and that they listen to strange music that you don't understand and it's nothing like the good music you listened to when you were their age."
