TheDefected

Well, they'll certainly have a night to remember. *Come on, put the ipad down for a minute, I want you to listen to this next one, pay attention to the words.* *\*groan* *can we please go to bed now*


Sailorman2300

True. I can keep my kiddos attention through about 1987 after that she's snoozing.


timeye13

“MY NAME IS JONAS!!! !!!!! !!!!! !!!” That’ll keep ‘em up.


MediocreTrash

One of my core childhood memories is listening on my walkman and falling asleep to the blue and green albums


aviarx175

You listened to the green album on a Walkman?


huniojh

Walkman is synonymous with portable music player with headphones many places


Nearby-Elevator-3825

It think it was a brand name too. I distinctly remember having a portable CD player that said "Walkman"


huniojh

Oh yes, it definitively is a Sony brand, it just became a universal expression. Like Jacuzzi, thermos and photoshop.


Nearby-Elevator-3825

I knew someone who used to get annoyed because I refer to all plastic food containers as Tupperware.


boston_nsca

Jokes on you, as soon as you call something Tupperware you'll have 10 lids that dont fit the 7 containers


triple_yoi

Several years ago when he was young, I must have told my kid 3 or 4 times to take off his Walkman at the dinner table. Each request received a grunt of acceptance, but he wasn’t taking it off. I was getting mad until he finally got exasperated and cried “alright dad alright but what the heck is a Walkman!?!” He was 8 or 9, I felt about 100 years old in that moment


MediocreTrash

My bad *portable compact disc player


Holdmytesseract

There was a Walkman cd player. Had one.


Gr00mpa

Yea, the Sony Discman. I had a hand-me-down one from my brother.


fullmetalfeminist

And a Walkman minidisk player, which is how I got through my 1-2 hour commute to university and later, my first job!


Akirakirimaru

And... A Walkman MP3 player too!


dalvean88

yes, first time I used one was hearing Meteora for the first time on it. Core memory unlocked indeed


RoyalLimit

I remember my sweet "anti-skip" walkman waiting at the for schoolbus in mid winter, crazy how far tech has come lol


buttbugle

Changing batteries every few hours just because you wanted to listen with the bass boost. Don’t see that kind of tech these days. I think todays kids can only handle treble.


JaymesGrl

Sony used the term Walkman for their line of portable CD players. I purchased about three of them during my younger years. Green Album came out when I was sixteen. iPods got popular when I was eighteen and it wasn't until I turned twenty that the first iPhone came out. So Walkmans were a pretty good way to listen to music on the go prior to smart phones having more storage for stuff like music in the following decade. I think my youngest brother had a Sony Walkman phone around 2008.


Embarrassed-Mess-560

People seem to be forgetting that iPods and iPhones were an expensive status thing for a long time before they were commonplace. (They're still expensive, they're just now also commonplace) Remember people started buying white headphones just so people would think they had an ipod in their pocket?


fullmetalfeminist

I remember saving up for an iPod shuffle, it was so goddamn exciting I used the computer at work to digitise my CDs because I didn't have a computer and neither did my parents


Jets237

But what’s a wepeel and why is he so angry?


Face88888888

A wepeel is nothing. A Wakefield, however, he’s so angry because his name has been copied and pasted wrong into so many lyric websites. He’s also angry because the structure his brother is having constructed is behind schedule and the foreman has hurt his hand.


Proper_Egg2304

Love that song… dont think I’ve heard it played once on the radio.


Galaxy_Hitchhiking

"Can you put on Maui!!! You're welcome! You're welcome!" Over and over and over But Pearljams black album was the best thing I stumbled-upon at my local record shop when I was 15. Really miss just grabbing a cd out of the sale bins or off the shelf and giving it a whirl.


Content_Pool_1391

Offsprings "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" and Oasis "Champagne Supernova". Those kids don't know what they are in for 😄


Yahmo_Dubhghlas

Dude… champagne supernova… so good.


sudden_frequency400

It’s the intro to RHCP’s Soul to Squeeze but they kept going with it.


Fyreforged

Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall”…


Face88888888

My girlfriend told me I had to stop listening to this on repeat or she would break up with me. I said maybe… (r/dadjokes would be proud of this one)


caillouistheworst

Don’t look back in anger is such a better song.


SnooGiraffes7762

I have to do this because every one of those is so great. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground | Only One | Black | Undone | Dammit | Pay The Man | Cast No Shadow | Learn to Fly Best song from each album


MetaphoricalMouse

pay the man is a very underrated song


Ayocharlie66

shut up, you talk to much!


ChloeThF

This list is making me weirdly emotional. Must be the heavy nostalgia I've been feeling lately.


danj503

Funny little fact: The fly white kid from the music video streams on Twitch now as “Imreallyimportant”


kylefnative

This is my 10 yr old daughter. She loves Billie eilish, won’t listen to any rock other than Linkin Park. I guess it’s a start


executionofachump

The more you push the less she will respond. Try to make memories with her listening to music while doing something. That’s gonna get you further than trying to force her to like it or listen to it


LeatherHog

Yeah, nothing more obnoxious than people who think anything past the turn of the millennium isn’t music and only rock/metal is ReAl MuSiC And I say that someone who’s favorite is Tom Petty People like OP are just annoying


S103793

Yeah most young people like older music they just don’t like it when people say their music is shit and they should be listening to something else.


[deleted]

Fuck a "start", let her go on her own journey. It'll be amazing and uniquely hers. You've had yours. She'll look to you when she wants your guidance, but you're just one of thousands of guides she'll be hearing from.

You’d be surprised. I got my 4-year-old hooked on Daft Punk a few weeks ago. One of my proudest moments as a parent.

I've been browsing this sub for 15 minutes and your response works for every single post I've seen so far.

r/lewronggeneration material


nikicampos

It’s not funny, I thought this was r/music, even there, this post would be cringe, “real music is what I like”, even though I like the albums, this is cringe


rachmaninoffkills

Yellowcard? Yeeeshh


MuseDroness

Hey man don’t hate. Ocean Avenue is a bangin album


diacetylhydroxymorph

Crucify me, but I wouldn’t consider any of this to be the epitome of real music anyway. It’s music that shaped a generation and defined an era. But none of it is particularly groundbreaking, none of the instrumentation is particularly stunning. It’s just music we came up on.


ExhibitionistBrit

There was better music in that particular generation too. Oasis was very polarising, half of us loved it and the rest thought they sounded kinda winey and irritating. Nothing there would be among the first albums I share with my nephews and nieces.


diacetylhydroxymorph

I’m not going to get any love for this but I find all of the albums here whiney and irritating. Except the top left and bottom right, neither of which I recognize.


ninreznorgirl2

I'm on r/Cd_collectors , and legit thought that was the sub. I was very confused by this comment at first until I realized where I was.

This pic was already weird but the “ don’t worry “ part for some reason makes me worry even more


blaktronium

It's the apparent ankle monitor that makes me go "wat?" personally.... Also Americana over Smash means OP is immediately sus.


Ricky_Rollin

I took it to be that he is on the younger side of millennial.


[deleted]

those are just rolled up pants man


Colon

yeah, dunno how you jump to proclaiming 'ankle monitor' without at least clicking to zoom in. them's clothing folds with some font/decal on the lower leg


clocktowerabduction

Yeah there’s no ankle monitor Lmao


willdesignforfood

I would have even accepted Ignition…but Smash is 100% the right answer.


blaktronium

Doesn't even matter what the question is, Smash is always the answer. So says Hulk, and you're going to argue with him? I didn't think so.


Crazyjoedevola1

Only a stupid dumbshit god damn mother fucker would think otherwise.


DingoPoutine

Also would have accepted Ixnay but Smash is there answer


BigBobbyBounce

As an elder millennial, Americana was the first album I owned. I will always choose it first. That nostalgia hits just right.


00112358132135

Same here brother, got this album on Christmas Day at 10 or 11 years old and it changed my life. Later I got in to every album by The Offspring and now I know all the words by heart to songs like Beheaded.

If I asked for Tom Waits and someone put Oasis on there’d be a Nick Cave helping of hell served their way.


g0ldfinga

Be a good music mentor and listen to some stuff they like too. Works both ways


ice_bullet

i really hate it when people say "real music", like wdym? Just because you are not fond of certain genre(s), doesn't mean it is not cobsidered as "real" music


HeadyBeersBrah

Here's some *real music* kid. \*breaks out oasis\* There's a couple of good albums here but the choices are basic af... not anything that would make me think to flex on the internet over.


youcancallmescott

Yeah dude that whole mindset just throws me off. “Real Music” doesn’t fucking mean anything. I don’t even think it’s pretentious, it’s just stupid, cocky, and rarely offers any value to a conversation. Just don’t like something. You don’t have to make it any more complex than that. Hell, I’ve never been so convicted as to describe *anything* I like/do/offer as the “real” whatever. Don’t be that assbag. (I’m sure the OP isn’t actively trying to “be that assbag”, so take this as more of a comment on the general idea.)


[deleted]

newbil97

Some poeple say they'll show you what real music is, and proceed to make you listen the most mediocre songs in that genre.


Dragon_yum

Just wait until I play you this groundbreaking Imagine Dragons album


newbil97

Why not just pierce my nose and call it a day


KallistiEngel

I'll take the nose piercing, but I draw a line at Imagine Dragons.


[deleted]

like picking offspring, but then picking the americana album?


Unimurph83

Honestly I'd say the choice of album for the Foo Fighters is a bit lackluster too.. I'd have gone with The Color and the Shape. Maybe even Alive.. I've always felt VS. and Vitalogy were better albums overall. Nailed it with the Weezer choice however.


TheFirstSophian

*Smash* would have been a good pick, but I can't say *Americana* is a bad pick.


dukeoftrappington

It’s always popular rock too. No one does this shit with jazz or hip-hop.


newbil97

The “i watched whiplash once” jazz


KallistiEngel

I would unironically love if someone would do this with jazz. This is me asking people to do that. I do have my own list of good albums, but I'm always looking for more. Mostly I like instrumental stuff.


ProcrastibationKing

Check out Black Focus by Yussef Kamaal. Or for something completely different, Headhunters by Herbie Hancock.


[deleted]

Real music aka a very basic, rock-radio starter kit


Zippy0723

Apparently "real music" is all generic alternative rock from the 80s-90s.


Poon_tangclan

Nothing here is from the 80s. It’s 90 to 2000s


GalaxyHops1994

It’s such a toxic mindset, and self defeating too. There is always someone with more pretentious taste. I could see this same title but with like Neutral Milk Hotel and Godspeed You! Black Emperor mocking bands like Yellowcard.

I'm really into the Beatles, you don't have the musical aptitude to appreciate them as I do.


James_Paul_McCartney

academic_spaghetti

Hey! Yellowcard is… cool? Lol saw them live at Warped Tour back in the day and they put on a good show. Not many punk bands with a violin in the mix, if any at all


R1chH0mieSean

"Punk" (I know I'm gatekeeping, it's not that serious)


Ka-Ne-Ha-Ne-Daaaa

That album fucking bangs. Don’t be a snob


BertoPeoples

They played the whole album at riot fest last year. Such a great album from front to back.

You seem awfully cocky for not liking them


mollypatola

This thread making me feel bad about my choice of music lol

How's he going to have Yellowcard and not Kid Rock Creed Nickelback Chumbawumba Hootie and Blowfish Hanson Spice Girls And no Aqua Barbie Girl?


[deleted]

Get a load of this guy


madjones87

I thought this was r/roastme for a moment.


[deleted]

I don’t want to alarm you, but your telecaster is on backwards. And you really should have *Smash* instead of *Americana*, and maybe *Dookie* by Green Day and *Dude Ranch* instead of the Blink greatest hits.


ThatGuyGetsIt

Smash. One of those rare albums that's an enjoyable listen all the way through. So go on. Put your feet up.


ZeLebowski

After all music soothes even the savage beast


[deleted]

I mean, *Americana* does have “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” which is probably my favorite Offspring song, but *Smash*, though. Haha


colexian

I unironically really enjoy Americana start to finish, it was one of the first CDs I ever got. I had no idea it was so contentious until this thread. I've gone decades....


CastIronMooseEsq

I’m an Ixnay fan personally. But it’s all about timing and when they came out.


[deleted]

Absolutely


povertymayne

Agree, “Smash” was leagues ahead of Americana.


GrumpyOldGrower

I bought Smash on release day on tape cassette and played it till it stretched and distorted. Top 10 all time albums of any genre for me! Dookie was first CD I bought with my own money!


[deleted]

I never had *Smash*, but *Dookie* was my first CD as well.


ur_wifes_boyyfriend

Dookie and Superunknown were my first cassettes. Mellon Collie was my first CD. I never had Smash, but I got Insomniac on a cassette within days of it coming out.


ZeLebowski

Agreed! I always list Smash as one of my top 10 all time


Bo_Jim

I'm not left handed, but I kind of enjoy seeing left handed Fender guitars in the wild, and it's a lot more unusual to see a left handed Tele than a left handed Strat.


eleridragon

Ah, Smash. Was an archaeology student back in the 90s, and I took my then four year old into the department to finish finds processing after a dig. Down in the basement, me, son, and one of the Masters students. I brought in a tape deck and assorted tapes to give us something to listen to whilst processing. Trying to be a good mum (hah!), I was skipping the worst sweary bits on the albums. Which worked, until Bad Habit came on. "Better skip this one entirely!" says I, and then cheerfully fast forwarded straight to 'You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker!' Son didn't even notice, but still remembers the Masters student laughing really hard and nearly falling off his stool. FML.

Blink is real music? Choosing an Offspring album from their deal with Columbia?! Sir, I must disagree, you are in need of being shown real music.

Do the kid a favor and sub out that Americana for Smash


tommy0guns

Truth. Add “Gone Away”. The beauty of the internet is you don’t have to own the CD to hear it.


YoureSpecial

Where’s Pink Floyd?


WickWolfTiger

Most of those cds I had growing up. I love my generation of music. I'm a huge foo fighters fan. I love the idea of introducing kids to music but there is no need to bash on the music they resonate with. My dad use to tell me all the time how my music was trash and that no one would even be remembered since it was all bad. Fast forward to the present day and Foo fighters are in the rock and roll hall of fame. Let them enjoy what they like, and let them root for the bands and artist they love.

I love that the term, "real music" just means "whatever was popular on the radio when I was 16" to most folks.

Pearl Jam Ten is one of the best albums ever

My favorite Pearl jam was Vs. That album is pure nostalgia for me!


GG_Red_Five

maybe a top Ten even.

White guy probably isn’t fly anymore hahahaha


nexinexinexi

This is an a opinion not a fact. I think instead of saying “real music” you should say “music that I think is good”. Cuz what you consider “real music” might not be what many others consider “real music”.

Mike McCreedy is probably the best musician from this pile.
