And I'm only in my mid-twenties, btw. Punk was in its last days when I was 16..

Why the interest in older NOFX songs if they don't give a **** about people who grew up listening to it??

If you're only in your mid-twenties then you didn't grow up with ****. I'm twenty-six and you don't see me going around bitching about disrespectful young metalhead whippersnappers.

Just because you like a genre, does not mean you have to like its previous listeners. I listen to older country, oldies etc quite frequently (along with punk metal and everything else under the sun) but I dont spend my days in a retirement home hanging out with the people who grew up on the music of the 30s 40s and 50s

Why not? There is a lot to be learned from people who experienced what you listen to firsthand. I think the opposite way, what could i possibly learn from a teenager, how to pop pimples?

Pah, a classic line from an oldie such as yourself.

Nah I agree though, I used to enjoy talking to my ex's Dad about punk when I was 15-17ish, introduced me to some good bands and I respect him for that. Although half the time I listened to be polite and so he wouldn't kick my head in. There are many lessons to be learned from elders..

ey

surprisingly enough if more older people would pay attention to the younger generation there is much to be learned in both directions. I am not saying I dont listen to or respect older individuals but it all depends on the person. I will sit at the park and shoot the **** with an old guy who starts a conversation but I am speaking musically I really dont go out of my way to talk to people about past music, 90% of the time because they often rudely just rant and tyrade about how much better it was, or how todays music is just a copy etc. I enjoy todays music, and music from the past. I however do not enjoy being talked down to because of other musical tastes, or hearing nothing but how much better it was. Hence why a lot of us young punks, dont give a rip about you older ones because most of it consists of explaining to us how we are punks, we dont listen to punk, todays punk sucks and blah blah blah. look at this forum, look what shows up and gets posted in at least one comment on almost every thread involving punk rock or metal of todays generation

Back in my day we walk 12 miles uphill, both ways, in 2 feet of snow just to get to the punk rock show and we had to die our mohawks with stewed beet juice that our mothers cooked on a cast iron pot all day long. These young punks don't know how easy they have it. Hot Topic, what a bunch of balderdash.

I'm not gonna lie, that made me laugh. And I know a few people who would also find that quite funny too.

Beet juice? Bah, we could only dream of using beet juice. We had to split our heads open and let the blood dye our hair. And at the end of the show we used to bleed to death in the mosh pit.
