You can continue to shake your cane at people walking on your "lawn" all you want, but times have changed, and so have people. I guess that's hard for some people to accept. As evidenced by the fact that her shows in both NYC and LA were sold out, and most of the attendees were adults.
You are 100% correct! It is hard to accept that people today are the dumbest in the history of human kind in so many ways.
No wonder they worked up of some theatrical event, Its hard to understand much of anything when your world revolves around video games and social media.
Throw a few lights and noise up and any tripe looks good to them. thats not the future its a mental illness. LOL
It's okay Trav...we'll just have to sit on our porch and yell at folks on our lawn.
No sense in expressing your opinion if you are over 35 years old. Everybody knows that as we age, we become irrelevant in todays culture.
Going to fake "concerts" and watching cartoon characters on a stage is the norm for men these days. How "old-fashioned" of ANY of us to think any differently. Better to characterize us as antiquated, useless, bigots.
I dunno dude, I'm still on my way to 35 and my pastimes entail shooting computer parts with various rifles, wrenching on my cars and listening to FFDP, Metallica, Rammstein, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mozart, Sarah Evans, Garth Brooks, some old G n'R....etc.
My wife, who is very similar in age to me likes a lot of pop (that I can't stand), some rap (which I also can't stand) and some country (which I can tolerate and some of which I actually like) and I'm actively working on getting her into shooting. She can't spin a wrench to save her life but she has other redeeming qualities
Actually, I personally don't know anybody that goes to digital concerts or shares the music tastes of the OP. Probably like those that were fans of Disco weren't found in circles of those banging their head to early AC/DC or the Rolling Stones.
I don't think that "digital performances" like these are the wave of the future (to disagree with the OP). I think they are a niche fad like laser light shows and the music is popular in the same manner that Disco was, and to some extent, still is. There are people that enjoy it (we obviously aren't among them) and, like with Japanese cartoon tentacle porn, there is a market for it. Doesn't mean it will ever become mainstream (which I highly doubt), but it will persist.
And no Nick, I'm not equating your music taste to tentacle hentai, LOL! Just noting that they are both niches seen as "weird" by more "square" people
