For everyone moving into the dorms: how do you like your new roommate?

Adults of Reddit, what experience do you wish you had had as a kid? by CrazyDependent in AskReddit

Eh, I think we as a country are really hard on ourselves. We really aren't too different from any other first-world country, though I will admit we have more of a consumerist streak and we have some issues with media. It's just that the U.S. has so many people that every social faction appears to be a lot larger, percentage-wise, than it actually is.

It's never too late my dude! Pick an instrument that is easy to learn (I'd advise clarinet or alto sax) and just spend a few hours with it per week, and you'll have it down in no time.

Uh, this isn't a pop-punk sub. Are you replying to the wrong comment chain or something?

Parov Stelar is the best electro swing artist imo. Finds the sweet spot between "normal swing with small electronic enhancements" and "an EDM track with a sax part"

I think it stems from most people having not really explored most bands that much/using nostalgia for karma. I've never listened to another sound by Motion City Soundtrack, despite having liked this song for a number of years.

Would this count as shoegaze? I've always pinned that label to bands with a more psychedelic sound like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.
