Old ppl love to complain about how all music these days “sounds the same” but have you listened to 70s rock? it’s all over the god damn place a single BAND couldn’t stick to the same genre for an album they were all over the place half the songs would be rock and half would be thinly veiled slow ballads and then there was whatever the fuck Pink Floyd was doing. 60s-70s white people rock was a mess. Chaotic Bad.

Also stay away from boys that are only into classic rock. They are also Chaotic Bad™

Honestly I don't really feel like there is a "best" music genre or period. I just know I have stuff that tickles my fancy, and I won't shame modern pop or whatever just because it doesn't all do stuff that's to my interest. There's plenty of other music out there...

yeah tbh i like most music i just fuckin hate old ppl trying to act like everything except classic rock is trash

Anonymous asked:

I still like classic rock but the whole "I'm better because I only listen to classic rock" thing is The Worst™

Yeah that’s why I have nothing to do with it anymore. Believe me, I used to be a huge fan of classic rock, but the fact that classic rock fans are arguably the worst “fandom” ever, I got over it

I think by far the worst fandom I was ever in was my first fandom that I actually participated in - which was the Beatles (and by extension classic rock). So this was in 2010-2011, and then it branched out to classic rock in 2012 before I left (Technically Star Trek 2009 was the first but I wasn’t active). What a flaming trash fire that was. It was just. So embarrassing? The average age of people in the fandom at that time were 13-16 years old. So there were a lot of young girls and then a smattering of older people - men, usually, who grew up with the Beatles/Classic Rock.

So of course there were scandals. Older men preying on these little girls. I remember one in particular, it was actually a woman in her 20’s - and she was BIG in the fandom. 10k followers at least. And she had been soliciting nudes out of these little girls for YEARS until it all came to a head and she was ran off the site.

And the racism. Yoko Ono. The “witch who ruined the Beatles.” Fan girls couldn’t be bothered to come up with actual reasons to hate this woman so of course it always turned to racism. It always ended with slurs.

And there was a huge problem - moreso in the classic rock fandom as a whole - with underaged groupies. Led Zeppelin in particular had a lot of dealings with underaged groupies, some as young as 14. And these fan girls not only condoned it but they encouraged it. They had wished it was them a lot of the time.

There was also a big issue with people harassing the band members’ families on social media. This happened a lot with The Who in particular. These girls would harass the band members’ children and wives for pictures and it was just so bizarre and appalling, honestly.

Looking back now I can’t believe how toxic just… everything about it was.

I was really into classic rock at those ages and reading this I can’t believe how lucky I was that I wasn’t on Tumblr until some years later wtf

Yeah it was so.. gross? I made my tumblr in Oct. 2011 and the community back then - not just for classic rock people but for EVERYTHING was just? Awful? (*shudders* superwholock)

Fandom history is extremely interesting to me like from the dawn of fanzines with Star Trek and Star Wars to the internet era and LJ and Fanfiction.net and just.

Fandom for the most of it’s presence in the last ~50 years I feel like was mostly older teenagers and adults, 15+ year olds. Or at least, from what I’ve seen of the Old Days of Fandom. And then Tumblr came along and I feel like it opened the doors for a much younger (physically and mentally) audience, which went over about as well as you’d expect.

I feel like I didn’t really start seeing 12, 13, 14 year olds participate in fandom until tumblr (myself included - I was 14 in 2011 - I was almost definitely too young for fandom). And so in the late 2000s and early 2010s there was this shift of audience age and it didn’t go over well, especially because younger teenagers are just straight up awful sometimes. There’s this age gap between the early 2000s fandom and the early 2010s fandom and I feel like a lot of the older fandom members got pushed away (don’t get me started on the tumblr witch hunts, the callout culture, death threats). And now all that’s left are a few Fandom Elders™️ from the LJ / FF.n age and a bunch of 20 year olds who have grown out of fandom because they forced it to be tailored for their younger selves.

I think by far the worst fandom I was ever in was my first fandom that I actually participated in - which was the Beatles (and by extension classic rock). So this was in 2010-2011, and then it branched out to classic rock in 2012 before I left (Technically Star Trek 2009 was the first but I wasn’t active). What a flaming trash fire that was.

# this rick roll has become so meta… we are all used to being rick rolled but then tumblr started reverse rick rolling us, making it to where we expect to be rick rolled but the song doesnt play and we find ourselves strangely disappointed, a reverse rick roll, but then this audio post comes on my dash and i think ‘this is another reverse rick roll’, so i click on it expecting anything but never gonna give you up to play, expecting disappointment, and then it plays., i’ve been rick rolled because i was expecting a reverse rick roll, making this a reverse rick roll rick roll, im losing my fucking mind, how much further can this go (via urie)
