    I mean… They’re a band, they’re all boys… Why isn’t Beastie Boys a “boy band?” 🤔

        “Metallica are a boy band.” was not a take I expected to find today, but I think I know exactly the right people to annoy with this.

        Series acid and went for a walk in 99, took my camcorder. Last thing I remember is recording a plastic bag being buffeted by the wind and suddenly I’m here staring at a little glass box in my hand.

        I didn’t realize until adulthood that some households don’t really prioritize music. My parents were always playing and telling me about the music they grew up with (classic rock, because I’m old and they’re older)

        Every once in a while I’ll meet a peer who’s like “oh yeah we didn’t have a lot of records” and I’m like oh that checks out with you not knowing the velvet underground

        But I try not to be a jerk about people not knowing stuff, because no one needs that.

          My dad never listened to music from his own era. He only ever listens to classical music. I’m not really a fan of music from his era, but I probably know more about it than he does.

        Yup. I was really quiet old before I heard much Elvis or Michael Jackson. My parents just never had it on in the house. My best friends dad had a tattoo of Elvis, but still.

          My daughter loves Michael Jackson.

          It’s funny, I never much liked his music before aside from a couple big songs. Now that I’m always hearing it, I regularly catch myself singing along and enjoying it.

    If you end it there it’s a tragedy. But if you use the “1 in 10,000” approach and introduce them to both their music and how it changed music, then you might win another fan. You might even get a “oh, yeah, I’ve heard that riff”.

        I’m a Beastie Boys fan, but I don’t think most of their stuff stands the test of time. Other than Paul’s Boutique and Sabotage, they weren’t really groundbreaking most of the time. They were fun, and had some good tunes, but I wouldn’t list them as one of the groundbreaking acts that changed music.

      Because they were a perfect mix of Punk and Hip Hop. It just fit right into the late 80s and 90s.

      They have a historical importance in the hip-hop realm notably when it comes to sampling. See the album Paul’s Boutique.
