Don’t feel bad at all. Music is personal preference. Gen x gen z millennials boomers…Sooners,zoomers,beanie babies, teletubbies, tinkywinky lala and the big homie poe. Ravens….I could go on. But a persons preference will still be a preference they chose 😂 dnt box me up bro. I dnt ship for one flat rate. You will no t understand. And probably respond as such. No matter. That’s a fire line up

No reason a Gen Xer shouldn't like those. DCFC/Postal Service and 311 are all basically 90s bands. Childish Gambino is good. They're just musically stunted.

How is it you ppl don't understand this yet. Every kids favorite music is the crap they heard is from like 15-22. New music falls short cause the nostalgia ain't there and that's huge. Go ahead, talk to your uncle or parents about music.

Honestly man. Point taken on the highest level. They did this to me already and they are doing it to Gen z and gen x. What’s worse is they will never have a childhood and it’s like they dnt mind. After highschool I stopped following trends. Now following tends literally leads to the grave and these folks seem to think the afterlife is cool somehow? Not sure. But the line up is fire man no question. Music across time is fire when you find the gems. I’m still in con funk love train found from my gmas era

Music is often an emotional experience for people...and since we all have vastly different life experiences...we all gravitate towards certain music.

Fellow Millennial here. I don't like your music choices either.

Ask them for music recommendations and give recommendations back based on what they seem to like.

Sometimes Pop Culture can make you feel old.

One day, you'll be watching TV and you'll see a promo for Saturday Night Live and you'll realize that you don't know who that person is that is hosting. And you've never heard of the musical act either. Shortly after that, you'll feel liver spots bursting on your arm.

I mean I’m a millennial and don’t mind 311 , definitely a high school obsession of mine but I would never subject ppl to 311 in public lol

No one except the boomers like it when I play Phish, Billy Strings, Allman Bros and Grateful Dead. Oh well.

Funny how a lot of people like my playlist and a lot of them have laughed about my choice of music. You do you. I simply love music and I think anything that makes you groove or move is what you should listen too. Fuck everybody else. The same is with food and movies for me.

Those are definitely some choice 311 deep cuts. I absolutely loved 311’s first four major label albums as a kid, but found everything from Soundsystem onwards to be diminishing returns with moments of brilliance. Sever and Eons happened to be two of those moments. Beautiful, haunting songs hidden under the trademark 311 white-boy fonkiness. Haven’t listened to those in years….thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My brotha, it's not a generational thing. You just have bad taste. From a fellow millennial

Even if you're just talking about better options for your artists.. for example, there's much better content from Gambino than "Retro."

Would much more suggest "Life: The Biggest Troll."

I wouldn't call your taste in music horrible, but most of it sounds like the background music in a TV show as opposed to anything you would listen to for pleasure or any amount of emotion.

If you're going to go down the semi-calm route, like most of your music suggests, why is there no M84, Aurora, or something with more rhythm or emotion? I find most of those just plain boring.

Also, yeah, fellow Millenial.

Side note: Most of the music from Gen-Z or modern artists is so bad, most of your selections should be considered 10/10 classics at this point, even if I don't personally vibe to them.

And that is why one usually uses nice headphones at work.

One can listen to one's own music and also signal that one is not to be talked at.

I mean I’m never gonna stop listening to Floyd or Fleetwood, but I just can’t stand Tom Petty, AC/DC, the Boss, etc. I don’t even think Peter Frampton gets a pass anymore. Ooh baby I love you way? Ugh

No offense to Mr McDonald, but if I have to hear “Ya Mo be there” one more time I’m going to ya mo burn this place to the ground.

In the spirit of compromise, you should add some Five Nights At Freddie's fan music by artists like Try Hard Ninja. Z'ers love that shit.

Then listen to what you can stand. It's a pretty simple solution. Tom petty sucks. I don't go an listen to him same with AC/DC There is plenty of good music out there.

It's pretty easy to avoid music u don't like

I'm Gen Z but believe Incubus to be brilliant all around. I think 311 is garbage though.

Not sure why people are being so aggressive. There's nothing wrong with anything on that list. Except 311.

311 are the best musicians to ever do it.

Shoutout to OP for playing Transistor and Soundsystem!
