Being from the 80's myself, I've always been amused by the current's generation arbitrary borrowing of iconic imagery, fashion and, dare I say it, even music...
I always crack up when I see kids walking down the street with green hair, all spiked-up, covered in skull and bones parafernalia, tatooes and chains, in tight skinny-style jeans that don't even fit and listening to Metal/Punk bands and songs that are easily 20 years old...in some instances, older than their moms!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for nostalgia...I'm the king of melancholic remiscence...But that soundtrack? It's from an old movie...Our old movie! And it just seems that this generation should get it together and come up with their own beat, instead of plagiarizing the ancient talents from back in the day...
Granted, it's tough for you kids out there with this celebrity obsessed media bombarding your asses 24/7, and the Hannah Montanas, Jonas Bros. and Justin Beibers (hope I spelled that correctly)...
Tough luck, kids...Get yourselfs a culture of your very own, for god sakes...
The one you're borrowing?
It belongs to someone else...
