A teacher asks students to name 1 song by the artist on their shirt

I could name a song for every artist except Pink Floyd. It's not that I don't know some Pink Floyd songs. I just blanked on that one.

People were always like this

Not really.

As kids we had radio and broadcast TV and parents playing music. We learned about past pop culture by being exposed to it.

Now people just look at what they want on the Internet with earphones. There is a lot less random exposure.

Breh we are in a age where you can easily access all of those artists and the youngins still not fukking doing that, outside the comfort zones of whatever the hell they bumped.

shyt, when I was a youngin, I was knee-deep in Tower Records trying to get hip to different artists. Hell, damn near got my internet cut off by downloading various forms of piff before the plugs came through with the lanks.

I know I'm , but no damn excuses for these youngins to not dig the crates. My son embraced the oldies from Talking Heads to MJ. Come on Gen Y WTF

I'm 25 and my dad used to DJ but kept collecting records and I got into crate digging thru him

He "made" me listen to at least one random LP once a week with him as a kid

No one has to listen to different music if they don't want to, it really doesn't matter

The only one I was really mad at was the H.E.R. T-Shirt. Like she’s a current artist, goddamn! Lol

I agree with your last comment.

Because you can search what you want on YouTube or Spotify, you listen to exactly what you want to listen to.

In the old days, you were exposed to whatever some radio station or DJ curated for their playlist. If you watched MTV, you might have seen their countdown and waited for a TLC song you liked but in the meantime you got exposed to Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Stuff like that did help to expose you to artists you may never have considered.

I do question how much of that happens these days.

Square biz. I remember being exposed to underground hip hop through Ill Community and this bold bold cac DJ that decided to take one for the squad and play Ras Kass ON A PHILADELPHIA HIP HOP AND R AND B RADIO STATION . Dude got shyt canned for such an action, but I appreciate dude for allowing a young marsupial to see the light outside the typical snap, crackle, and crunk shyt being dictated. That's another thing, I missed about those times. The fact that there were DJs and channels trying to expand the horizon. BET may get shyt, but there was a time they used to play underground music and artists from Uncut to this indie show that was on for a spell.

MTV expand the horizons before the ridiciousness reruns and VH1 actually expose the marsupials to 80s new wave shyt. Nowadays, everything is free marketed, which fukking sucks as a music head because you got to dig through the fluff and being overwhelmed by the accessibility.

Shoot, I have been digging crates on Bandcamp for a spell, because it's a feeling restored to the days of browsing the record stores.

That's why my musical taste is so out there, sometimes i would hear Nirvana, Smif n Wessun, Selena, Queen and a bunch of random CACs
