“Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of baby boomer childhoods.”
I’ve been wanting to remake this chart for a long time… So I made one based on the first 20 of Billboard’s “Holiday 100 most charted songs”
Fuck boomer Christmas. Claymation sucks. Charlie Brown is boring. Frosty should’ve been left to melt. And ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ bombed at the box office for a reason. Just because it was dirt-cheap for TV stations to air during the Holidays in the late '70s/'80s doesn’t make it good.
Lmk how your inevitable life-changing journey with a magical Christmas creature goes
It’ll have a different vibe when the starving polar bears attack
I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.
Zep had a few good albums. Jethro Tull. David Bowie. Pink Floyd.
But there are also a finite number of times you can listen to the same album before you start craving new stuff.
Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?
Your parents said the same about you, just as your grandparents said the same aboot your parents
People were saying the same things about the Beatles as they now say about multitudes of young bands. Now they are old people music and thus “real music”.
Music is just becoming lazier. We got from needing 70 instruments and an incredible opera singer to 6 instruments and a talented jazz singer to 4 instruments and a good singer to 0 instruments a bad singer but a lot of vocoder. I didn’t said it was bad, just lazy.
Christmas music from 90s is mariah carey, 00s consists of justin beiber and 10s consist of Ariana grande. I would take 50s christmas any day over these options
