A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Because mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens, you are actually admitting your parents music is better - because they are the ones making it. (lemmy.world)

Equally when music "used to be better" it's your peers churning out this garbage not your parents who knew better.

Your parents had better taste in music.

I can’t say I have any peers that say music use to be better. I hardly find music to be stagnant now, hell a lot of the recent pop music has had some things that have resonated with me and I’m a dude in my 30s. The thing is you can’t let yourself stagnate. I am a music lover who is always looking for something new and different. With the internet and recording being so accessible there are more artists being able to put their work out there than ever. Even then, I am still going back to music of my youth and still enjoying most of it. My parent’s music was never went away- I’m digging even deeper into their record crates and finding the stuff they weren’t quite fond of and finding a lot of things I enjoy. Open your ears, the birds are singing and bells are ringing. You just have to go to the woods or the town square to hear them some times.
