Kids these days have no idea how magical Dookie-era Green Day was.

Green Day was awesome back in the day!!
So good. Truly.
It always sneaks up on me and I have to be reminded
Might have to listen to it tomorrow! Was jamming to Jimi Hendrix earlier this week. They don’t make music like they use to!
My daughter is almost old enough to start exposing her to some Jimi. Softer Jimi. Still remember when I bought the electric ladyland album in eighth grade and was totally transported.
you sent me down the Hendrix rabbit hole and I've been listening to the Blues album he did, which is my favorite total album
What is the gen z version of discovering “all by myself” at the end of dookie?
You understand me too well, sir. Oddly enough I feel like the ubiquity of music that gen z has grown up with completely deprives them of a deeper joy of discovery, the joy in exploration that actually takes effort, of shared musical experiences that require a degree of commitment.
They don’t know what it’s like to tape the radio, order music from paper catalogs, wait for stores to open, buy an album based solely on the cover art and have that be a real gamble with real money, etc.
The mystery has been removed, as it has with so many other things too.
I remember waiting by the radio to catch “fly” by sugar ray on tape
