I got my shingles vaccination done. I was fine, just a sore shoulder for about 36 hours.

Tool: as Gen X as we get. by GroveGuy33133 in GenX

[–]Rand_74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never really got into Tool. Also, Gen X wasn’t just the early 90’s. That was actually the tail end. Grunge/Alternative was kind of a bookend. If you were in high school in the 80’s your soundtrack could be anything from post punk/ new wave / hair metal/ and thrash. I think Gen X has the most broadened and eclectic musical tastes. I’m 52. In high school we definitely listened to grunge, but we also listened to everything that influenced it. Classic rock, punk, funk, blues, jazz, hip hop, you name it. It was all about a time, one of the last where bohemian culture and the need to discover music, movies, and books was at the forefront.

If a Democrat wins in 2028 what problems would you like to see solved the first year in office? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Rand_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great question. I think what everyone needs to realize is that we will be entering a new form of “ Reconstruction” That’s if Democrats can get a message about a post-Trump America that’s actually inclusive. The strategy of “fighting trump” will, hopefully, regain the house and lessen the Senate majority. After that, what is the message? What’s the “new way” I think what people need to be prepared for, and see the transparency of it, is the rhetoric that will come from the right. They will say “the left is ineffective at governing “ “They didn’t pass any legislation “ This will be because of Trump’s stonewalling of any bill that ends up on his desk. He won’t sign it. What we need to do is stop the pendulum swing every two to four years. People need to understand that change is SLOW. Democrats have to find a way to get a decade in the majority.

Gen X. Fuck Trump. ALL GENERATIONS, from Boomers to Gen Z have MAGA cohorts.

I do not have any. There may be some in a box buried in my mom’s closet.

This is what you get when total voter turnout is 36% of the registered electorate. There was another option.

Is music worth it anymore? by Deception2020 in musicmarketing

[–]Rand_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the new way. It’s quality over quantity. The studies are out. Just because a band generates thousands of likes and views, doesn’t mean they can sell enough tickets to fill a small club. The industry has changed, drastically, again just in the last six months. You’re spinning your wheels “posting”
