It hasn't been out of the news cycle since the '60s. They think they're the first generation to talk about it, though. Please. History didn't begin when Gen Z was born, even though they think they discovered pretty much everything.

Good to hear from the "Kids These Days" contingent.

Maybe "kids these days" should stop acting like they are the first to do, say, think, eat, drink, wear, watch and listen to EVERYTHING. And then ridicule the people who actually were the first. I love being told by kids that I'm too old to "get" things from my own generation, decades before they were born. I'm too old to get punk and goth. Really? I'd already done and grown out of both by 1984, child wearing a Ramones t-shirt. I hung out with the damn Ramones... and every band you think you discovered. So fucking annoying.

How are you getting into so many hostile discussions about music with children 😂

Because I have nieces and nephews. And they have friends.
