Also, have a happy new year!
Ugh… I wanna be sedated. 😮💨
Bam, bam, ba-bam, ba-bam, bam, ba-bam…
It’s really not that hard
There’s a pill for that.
Damn, it was right in front of me!
To be fair, I just Googled it, I didn’t make it.
You didn’t make it to the promotion to lieutenant list? No worries, this new year brings all the goods.
Oh, just ask Billups.
Now this is a quality shit post! Happy New Year and thanks for all the laughs.
Happy New Year to you as well!
I didn’t get it
Oh you kids today with your Taylor Swifts and your Doja Cats and your I can’t come up with the name of a third modern musician…
They were a band in 1974… doesn’t make us a bunch of kids. Milenials are in there 30s and 40s now dude.
They lasted till 1996 though. You can be a millenial who was 15 when the Ramones broke up.
Doesn’t mean you listened to them, or knew their song names, or liked them even one tiny bit.
Oh Joey, I’m not angry anymore
I’m a millennial and have listened to the ramones my entire life, they aren’t exactly irrelevant to my generation. Punk is forever!
Not the miracle.
I am a millennial and all the alt rock radio stations by me played this song in the 90s/ 2000s.
Did the radio also show you how the bandmembers look like?
To be fair, being aware of the Ramones doesn’t mean you’re going to like their music. In my experience the opposite is the more likely reaction.
I like the song, but it was pre-millennial and millennials aren’t exactly young anymore.
Beyonce. Rihanna (reminds me of rhinitis). Dua Lipa. BTS.
I shit on modern music sounding all the same but I somehow (subconsciously) picked very different sounds.
It’s just because history only remebers the good songs and artists. The 70’s and 80’s were full of derivative crap too but most of it got forgotten. Theres also just more artists nowadays, so the repetitive shit is more prevalent
I was explaining this to someone the other day who thought modern rap was all trash whereas the 90s and 2000s were all gold. I explained there are thousands of moderately successful acts from those decades we’ve just forgotten when remembering the few dozen names we call great.
It’s called the Survivorship Bias
I only learned the name ‘Doja Cat’ yesterday and thought it would be fun to use it since I had an opportunity…
It’s a Ramones reference https://genius.com/Ramones-i-wanna-be-sedated-lyrics
Woah, this is so fucking perfect!
And of course I missed it until 2023 was already over here…Nothing to do, no where to go-oh
just get me to the airport, put me on a plane.
hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane.
525,600 minutes.
525,000 moments so dear
Those other ten hours are kind of shit.
True lmao. I was referencing this song
A nap sounds good right now.

I just sent this to my twenty two year old daughter.
She instantly understood it and had a good laugh.
I raised that kid right I tell ya.
My 13-year-old is also a Ramones fan. She discovered them on her own!
Sharing music has been a thing between us since I used to make up stupid songs to sing to her in the bouncy chair.
We played endless CDs on car trips when she was little and we’d sit out in the back yard listening to music on nice days.
When she learned to read, she would have me print out lyrics so she could sing along.
I took her to her first concert when she was thirteen - X and Blondie at the state fair.
We’ve gone to hundreds of shows since, built a substantial record collection together, driven around the country to attend festivals, met and hung out with lots of musicians, and now we send each other links and suggestions since we live several states apart.
She became a hell of a sax player and a reasonably competent guitar player through all of it.
It’s been the best bonding experience ever.
Holy shit I would’ve loved to see X!
Their latest show was NYE, you probably will have an opportunity to see X in 2024. Also sometimes play with Dave Alvin as The Knitters (Minus Billy Zoom)
A couple years later we got to hang out with Exene for about an hour or so. Just the three of us. She’s both off the charts crazy and unbelievably kind. It’s a strange juxtaposition that fits her perfectly.
That happened because by random chance, several hours before the show, she saw my daughter wearing an Exene T-shirt, so she came up to us and we all just started talking.
At the end of the show, she personally gave my daughter the set list and one of DJ’s drum sticks.
That was one helluva day for us.
Hey it’s that downpunxx guy
Brilliant.
