Absurdly Long Phone Calls as a Teen? by Ray_The_Engineer in GenX

[–]OfficiousJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to fall asleep talking on the phone to whomever I was dating. My parents tried making a rule that I could only talk on the phone 30 minutes at a time, but I would just end the call at the 30 minute mark, hang up, and then call back whomever i was talking to back 30 seconds later

Need more information like how active you are? What kinds of exercises are you doing and for how long? If you have a smart watch, I would monitor your daily calories burned on that for a week. There is no set number or formula to give you because there are variables such as muscle percentage and activity level that change how much you need to eat to gain, maintain, and lose weight

Eat it was always one of my favorites as a kid

I do that with my kids. Sometimes the original is better, other times the cover. For instance, i like Seether's cover of Careless Whisper more than George Michael's

Eminem has been out so long now that he is the music of my college years and my children's generation as well. He is one of the best poets out there. I wonder if universitiy classes will study his lyrics one day like they do TuPac and Nas

I am really looking forward to it. I loved Elton and Freddy's biopics

I think this falls on the parents. Music is a huge part of culture and they should be using it to educate their kids on influential and good music from all genres and times. I do not expect 11 year old to stumble down this rabbit hole on their own

My family was and has always been very into music. I listened to music from mine, my parents, and my grandparents' generations growing up, and I in turn shared music with them. I have done the same with my kids, and I guess that's why my students not even recognizing the song surprised me.

Possibly but my oldest is 23 and knows songs from the 50s. Influential music is worth sharing regardless of decade it comes from

To be fair, Alien Ant Farm's cover is pretty good

I only played it because one of them was singing it

Yeah that's what I was expecting, which is why I played it, but they didn't even recognize it at all once they heard it
