Blink 182 or shite out of a gas station bathroom toilet?
 

well...?

welcome to the olden days!

I... have no idea what you mean...

welcome to an obvious & redundant arguement from the year 2000!

well, I figured with all the "food or band" polls, I'd make one that was a much easier choice...

if you think about it, 4 years ago blink 182 was the thing, i find them much more bearable on the radio than emo shit on the radio, atleast it was poppy, melodic, and whimsical. I dont like their music but atleast the kids of the day were listening to something that was happy and poppy.

I know the name, but I don't really know who Blink 182 are.

oh wow, is it already time to start cultivating an ironic appreciation for the ouevre of blink 182?

true, I guess... it does seem that every era of music seems to make the one before it seem better. especially with rap. I thought Master P and his entourage were as bad as you could get, and then Juvenile came along, causing ones to long for the day of Master P :)

ironic indeed

**sung in an overly dramatic voice** Irony!

Teenagers should be encouraged to listen to music that is plodding, depressing and cold. I have no problem with this. It agrees with their state of mind. I know I preferred Joy Division to the Descendents in the mid 80s, though I listened to them both as a teen.

I grew up on the pop, it was all I knew until I discovered the good stuff...

what should people in their mid 20s be encouraged to listen to, uncle clone?

i know i was mad keen on depressing music as a teenager, smog, low, arab strap, i suckled on the teet of melancholy & depression.... who knows what was going through my mind?

I chose Blink-182. I don't listen to them, but I have friend's that like them. I'd much rather put up with my friend's music than eat shit.

I don't know.
I am in an arrested state of teen-dom.
In my mid 20s I was obsessed with Legendary Pink Dots, krautrock, NWW, Bevis Frond, heavy rock and drone. I have always liked the depressing music though. Mid 20s was also a time of massive genre expansion for me I guess; I was delving back through history and exploring a few genres I had not really gotten into as much in the past.

in retrospect, I should have used a different band. or maybe not even started this poll at all. the idea came to me for a second, and I just did it. oh well, live and learn...

so what's the difference between mid 20s and mid 30s?

About 15 pounds, as far as I can tell.

about 10 years. HAHAHAHA
eh, that wasn't funny, I'm just a dork.

I went for a variation on the same dumb joke, afterthefact, so you are not alone.

I guess by mid-30s I have come to be even more extreme in my tastes, with a far greater range of sounds I find appealing or interesting. I have burned out on some interests, rediscovered others from times past and found still more entirely new things that interest me.

I used to listen to anything and be like "eh, it's cool." Now I am so bloody picky that it's rediculous.

I can actually stand Blink 182. I've only heard about 3 full songs while paying attention, though.

they aren't as bad as some, that's fore sure. plus, I have memories of them before I was awakened to better stuff of listening to them on a regular basis. I was just bored when I made this, that's all :)
