Stupid Kids and their Rock n' Roll

So I took a rare stroll through the limited selection of radio stations this morning on my way to work; anything outside of NPR or my 10-disc changer is pretty alien to me. I stopped on one of my trusted old stations from years past; 93.9 FM. My place in time has me in those awkward mid-20's, when you start noticing all your favorite music from your youth is slowly finding its way into the 'Greatest Hits' section and trying to relate to anything new becomes harder and harder. Through my speakers, which are just as unfamiliar with new music as I am, played a quick 3 or 4 chord punk-esque tune, only cleaner and more designed rather than played. It sounded rather over-processed, sort of like a Chicken McNugget; obviously not pure chicken, but tasty none the less. I listened for a few moments, reflecting on the days when everything on the station was solid gold. Suddenly the singer; who as hard as it is for me to admit - is probably younger than me, used those two words that are sure to leave a bad taste in my mouth... "High School"... I mean, give me a fucking break!! Just who the hell are you singing to, and what the hell are they doing up at this absurd hour on a vacation week?!! I was deeply offended and fumbled quickly for the NPR station, disgusted with myself for ever bobbing my head to the rubbish! It occurred to me that having not bought a record in several years, I essentially don't exist in the eyes of the record companies. Stupid Kazaa! Stupid kids!! Stupid Radio!!!
