TNG s2e7 “Unnatural Selection”
As long as Michael 'kiddie diddler" Jackson isn’t getting air time.
Fun fact, Dryden from AAF is a documented racist and bigot. He was called out in the NME (or maybe MM, I forget) at the height of their fame by a journalist who followed them on tour and saw him frequently using racial slurs to refer to members of the road crew. Then when social media started being a thing, he was on there with (subsequently deleted) N-words and homophobia.
If only to remind ourselves to breathe in our advanced age.
Still holds up so well
That’s not surprising at all. Any media older than 20 years is old.
In fact, watching Star Trek TNG is the equivalent of watching black and white movies.
Well no, because if you watch late 80s Star Trek now, that’s only the equivalent of of watching oh my fucking god you’re actually right.
It’s true! A lot of people think that anything that existed before they were born is ancient, and then they post on the internet about how 30 Rock is all 20 years old and shit, and — 😢💀
It is "seasoned"😋
Last week a teenage store clerk asked if I needed my purchases carried to my car.
I didn’t, because the question caused me to crumble to dusk.
Sorry to hear that you’re reaching your sunset years.
I don’t even know if we have an “Oldies” station left, but I heard a Linkin Park song from 2003 on the biggest Classic Rock station in the area last week, and I’m still trying to process that.
Also, obligatory “there was only 13 years between the original and the Alien Ant Farm cover, but 25 years since the cover”
Fuck, I didn’t read that slow enough at first and was like, “well I mean, Smooth Criminal is pretty old so- wait the Alien Ant Farm version??? Fuuuuu-” I think that made it worse.
Meanwhile here I am in my 40s sometimes getting carded when buying booze and I look em straight in the eyes and point to my grey beard, then ask if they wanna see my thinning hair 👴
I get carded whenever there’s a young kid at the till. I just give it to them because I know their boss has given them shit about it
Got carded at a bar for the first time in years. Just hoping they didn’t see me blush through the grey in my beard.
I was so happy when I stopped getting carded in my late twenties. I didn’t need to carry my wallet around with me anymore just to show ID when I pick up booze. made it that much easier to go run errands, as I only needed my phone in my pocket
Wait you don’t get a bit happy they felt to card you? I need to go to newer stores for that excitement.
Actually recall being over a decade younger and being carded and amused, doesn’t happen overly often this side of 40 let alone back when I was younger. Apparently I looked a tad younger from comments (at parties unless they were just hitting on me, I dunno now) but rarely card for decades now. Always have it ready just to make things smoother mind you, don’t want to hold up the line and all
Just reminded me of Captain EO.
A few years ago my Bluetooth thingy died and I had to listen to the radio so I turned on the oldies station trying to catch some beach boys or something and they were playing Guns N Roses. Marjor psychic damage. Then they got the crit multiplier cause when I switched to classic rock they were playing the Sex Pistols
So where do you go to listen to beach boys?
Reddit. They’re everywhere.
Ohh, beach boys

Oldies:
Justice for Kurt
Is that Clue? Now that’s an oldie!
RIP Tim Curry
It’s been years ago now, but I knew I was old when we were further away from Lagwagon’s cover of Brown Eyed Girl than they were from the original.
Is this tales from the crypt?
Close enough. It’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
When Five Finger Death Punch comes up on the Classic radio station
For me it was when they played “Sell Out” in the grocery store.
You know you’re old when you start singing along to the music while grocery shopping. I was ashamed when I caught myself.
If i remember correctly they ended up hating it because people didn’t ask for their songs when they were playing live just the Smooth Criminal.
Better than Greta Van Fleet, who denounced that they sounded like Zeppelin. Dude, take the compliment and run with it.
You mean the band that 100% sounds like Led Zeppelin (on purpose) is offended that someone thinks they sound like Led Zeppelin?
Also, they got offended by that?
It’s like they wanted to be a flash-in-the-pan hit and fizzle out.
