And you saw them in the Rabbit Hole and still want to be disparaging about them? I think we may have narrowed down our cut off point to somewhere between 34 and you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I’m 23 and I couldn’t name a single song by them. But I don’t listen to that type of music and I feel no shame in being out of touch with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I was 49 and rammed into the back of that tent at was it 3am Sunday night, I'd finished in the T&C dancing my socks off and legged it across to the Park with two 'younger lovely generation; who we'd never met before but they wanted to come along as 'apparently we were who they'd been looking for the entire festival :-)' , and I ended up squeezing my way into the back of the tent with 3 lads in gold suits who sent an inflatable duck crowdsurfing. The back of that tent has a dip downwards so I could only see the backs of everyones heads, and it was ssooo hot and rammed and absolutely brilliant :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattiloy Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 5 hours ago, Matt42 said: Because Courteeners aren’t in any way comparable to Billie. Newer artists such as Billie, Ezra, Lizzo etc can achieve great things but they get labelled as ‘flash in the pan’. I just don’t like it. People are just weirdly critical of popular artists and I don’t get it. ’A dilettante is someone who can’t tell the difference between fashion and style’ Thank fuck for fontaines. Also, these examples are bs, Lizzo is well loved on these forums and i don’t see anybody suggesting her or Billie Eilish are flash in the pan, they clearly offer something different. But when you go on about George Ezra or the 1975 being good, who are dogshit to anybody with ears, be they old or young, or when you suggest Bieber as headliner of glastonbury, then expect disagreement. I’m 28, so there isnt such a huge difference in age between us. I agree that there is so much contemporary music that is great and most people on the forums do, its a forum of music lovers of all ages and I guess they’re mostly highly interested and curious about new music as most music lovers are. From what I’ve observed I’d say you are the one who seems narrow minded about new music, with a taste seemingly limited largely to chart music and whatever is popular right now. I pray that glastonbury always retains its eccentric aging hippy core. Fuck coachella and fuck anybody who wants to turn glastonbury into coachella. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
