is every music video the same?
Seems like in recent years, every music video looks exactly the same. There's a Carhart-wearing rapper singing, leaning a bit, a thuggy look on his face, with a couple of guys at his side flashing gang signs every so often, and folks dancing in the background. Cut away to the folks dancing, and zoom in on a good, thick jiggly booty every so often.
I don't know if it's just my age (37), or the music, but in the past five or six years I'm experiencing a disconnect with popular music. I can recognize a song as familiar, and recognize a band name, but I can't connect the band name with the song. I know who Limp Bizkit, Korn and Linkin Park are, but if I heard a song by them, I wouldn't know who performed it. I don't really have that problem with pre-1995ish rock; I'd hear a song, and immediately associate it with a band.
I fear eventually turning into Dad, who doesn't recognize band names or songs. "What's that you're listening to, that Iron Zeppelin or something?"
