Needles & Grooves

When I worked at a couple different record stores, we would get these guys and also the guys the same age that were very upset that younger people are getting into vinyl, and their conversations were always very amusing

“Oh my god my most listened to this year is Billie Eilish! So totally not normal!”

Theyre also probably already balding and wear either beanies or caps 24/7. Beard is optional

As a bald man in his thirties, who owns some beanies and hats and sometimes options for a beard, I don’t feel one way or another about Billie Eilish. I do, however, like pop but hardly consider it weird if I consider it at all. Is this actually a phenomenon you encounter a lot? That’s weird.

You guys, I totes just put my pandemic hair up in a bun WHICH IS TOTALLY CRAZY because like that's a GIRL thing but YOLO! And then I threw my LTD TMR Billie Eilish acoustic album on my vinyl record player and like, rocked out which is TOTALLY CRAZY because I'm like 40 and a GUY and WHO DOES THA-

-spontaneously combusts-

My 9 y/o makes sure I'm hip to the new tunes.

@Lord Diaper Baby yes it's a giant thing. Mostly started for people my age with CRJ "Emotion" (which is a fine album!). But they constantly talk about how they only listen to pop now. Which fine, poptimism won. But it's so played out as an 'identity'

I don't know who's worse. Them or the people who beat you over the head every year about "Die Hard" being a Christmas movie. WE GET IT.
