These kids, and their degenerate music! And it’s always too damn loud!!

Suck it, Arch Bishop.

Jazz & Swing were good then, House & Hip Hop are good now.

It’s every generation’s duty to make music their parents/grandparents don’t understand.

Kids will be on some new shit in the coming decades that I probably won’t like, but I’ll never say it came from Satan.

(unless it sounds like Dub Step)
