BF2S Forums Who Doesn't Want To Be A Cuck?

Anyhow that doesn't sound entirely true. If you think rock's dead, maybe you haven't been listening.

Did you know young people aren't trying musical instruments like they used to? Nobody wants to be a rock star. They want to be DJs. Drums, guitar, etc? Big decline among American youth.

this comes and goes in waves, like every fashion. 10 years ago people wanted drainpipe skinny jeans; now it's flares and loose fabrics.

at a certain point the pop-culture/radio waves/spotify playlists get inundated with identikit shit. this has been happening, regrettably, with electronic music for a while now. first it was EDM and now even 'techno' is just becoming an irritating word on the tongues of teenagers.

we look back in retrospect and talk about 'landfill indie' in the UK: all those bands which seemed so cool and fresh in NME aroundabout 2007 or whatever. a million libertines and bloc party clones. rock reached a peak and then people just wanted a different flavour. that's ok. now they've had 10 years of the same 4/4 drum loop and avicii/david guetta hands-in-the-air shite.

the next generation will probably all be super into post-punk and guitar music.

I think I know the kind of player you're talking about. I'm a little self-conscious in my instrument playing. You won't find me hauling my uke out out of the back of the car unasked for to serenade the public with Over the Rainbow.

God I hate bagpipes. Whenever I hear them I think police and fire department ceremonies.



When the cultural revolution comes maybe the American Red Guard will take away everyone's bagpipes like they took away China's violins.

It's an obnoxious instrument.

In the past decade, electric guitar sales have plummeted, from about 1.5 million sold annually to just over 1 million. The two biggest companies, Gibson and Fender, are in debt, and a third, PRS Guitars, had to cut staff and expand production of cheaper guitars. In April, Moody’s downgraded Guitar Center, the largest chain retailer, as it faces $1.6 billion in debt. And at Sweetwater.com, the online retailer, a brand-new, interest-free Fender can be had for as little as $8 a month.

I would like to get a new black guitar to hang my hat on. But I have no space.

Unfortunately I will never own a rec room because I eat too much avocado toast and ice lattes.

Are they counting second-hand sales? Open up craigslist.

Guitar Center is such a mixed bag. A lot of the people I met working there are either clueless and barely going through the motions, or total gatekeepers. I don't know what the corporate culture is like there, but maybe don't take it out on someone asking if your store does a particular service or carries a particular item.

I would just go to a corner of the store and fiddle with the Casios when taken there as a kid.

Prefer Music & Arts. Still a chain store, but smaller and more enthusiastic. I don't go in often, but I'll usually buy something when I'm there. Extra picks, random music book, whatever.

Just what I want, go to a football match to get spat on by someone expelling a lung through their vuvuzela.

You owe me 3 minutes of my life back, sir.

Okay, so you want something intense? I wasn't expecting this when it came up.

I don't spend much time in those subs. The stuff just comes up in my reddit feed.

I don't know, maybe? I was pretty young during the time I lived in the literal sticks (and didn't spend long there). It's like one of those impression memories. Could've been at a ranch or at a demonstration for little kids at a rodeo sideshow. I went to basketball camp, not farm camp. Got pretty good at corner shots.

I never got around to that one. I know it's been mentioned in lists of banned/challenged books though.

Was more of a Huskies person, so probably not.

It might surprise you to learn but not everyone in that church, or formerly from the church, have lives that do or have revolved around it. I don't even use it as a meme, like you do when you decide you're Catholic for the day.

When can we expect your alternate persona who went on a Mormon mission to South America? Temple vows with your work subordinate, planning the gender reveal party for your 14th child. Getting out of the house with the Other Men so your wives can exchange dreaded female gossip. Maybe when you finally retire as a grandpa at 45, you'll go teach English in rural China for a couple years and then return home with some daring foreign décor to display above your fireplace.
