Im young at 19 , but i consider myself just a modern bass player , times change and so does music. I respect jamerson , the ox, steve harris ,sting and a bunch of other players that have influenced me in some way , but i do like modern music as weel . i am not emo but enjoy some of it , i dont mind screaming lyrics and have played in some emo bands and classic rock bands.

I completely understand what you're saying. That's kinda common. Trust me, soon you'll start getting over it.

"It's not what you know, but who you know."

EDIT: Too bad my social anxiety prevents me from prompting anything of interest.
Also, depends on who you're trying to communicate with. I'm sure I'd find a conversation with you very interesting.

Not much would be said I'm afraid as I find it awkward to speak to people I don't know, even if we have something in common. Even among friends I have trouble expressing myself and end up looking like a donkey. Other than my maturity I am very stubborn (if one can be both) and head strong, but not outgoing. These traits I gained from my mother as she always had to be correct about everything and would go to the point where she said she was right because she was my mother. Now this may look like a "she didn't let me do what I want, now she is overbearing" type of situation, but a "Even though she knows absolutely nothing about the topic (for example computers) she will say she is right because she said so."

HA! This thread is something else.

All you old farts: you are all old farts! That's all!
-"I can't handle the cookie monster vocals!" Who cares? Jazz was noise when it came out but somehow most of the "little S***s" I know listen to jazz. Remember Elvis and the Beatles? Now they were evil! Beyond the harsh sound, some of the music that comes out now-a-days has more attention to detail and musicality than a lot of classic rock and blues (I didn't say all classic rock and blues). I'm not talking about puddle of mudd, the jonas brothers of nickleback. Unlike the old days, clear-channel and whoever elses radio stations don't play any good music.
-"Bass players are intelligent because they post on these forums and show me how mature they are." Maybe because you don't interact with enough young people to get a proper feel for how they act? Again, most of my friends and the people I know are not complete morons, and this isn't because I'm a bass player. It might be because I'm in college but there are some morons here as well. P.S. Talking about "guitards" doesn't seem to mature or intelligent.
-YOU'RE OLD FARTS! I will be an old fart one day, my dad is an old fart and proud. When he was young his dad was an old fart! It doesn't mean I don't respect them, they are up to date on the important stuff and have all the wisdom I can handle. I'm only 21 but I can't wait to see what my kids will be doing when I'm bitter and balding (soon probably!).
-Emo sucks, but then again, so does glam metal. Emo is just current and immature while glam metal reeks of old beer and cocaine. Both include 2lbs of make up and .0005oz of jeans.
-I'm a working illustrator. I use blogs and social networking to make money. I also have personal friends who I keep in touch with (I'm a working artist, can't afford 1000 minutes a month). There are dumbasses who just post about how their morning bagel was or how it "suxxx that 'there' gf talked 2 another dude last nyte". So what, don't look at their page.

Stupid kids: old farts are important too. They have the wisdom that you're dumb guitar hero playing friends don't have. They're not hip, who cares. You won't be either when you're old with a beer belly hanging over your skinny boot-cut low-rise girl jeans below your butt-crack.
-Guitar Hero sucks. Play real music.
-There, they're and their. Period.
-Emo. Sucks. You're alive and breathing and you've survived to this day so stop complaining. I don't care about the music but unless you're actually depressed and need help, shut up.
-Sagged huge pants with big tee-shirts. You look like a tiny person with such huge clothes on.

Everyone just needs to remember that people will either be pissing off older people with their new fangled loud music, and being ignorant pricks. OR, they will be pissing off the young people by being ignorant pricks. I'm just kidding with the harshness, but seriously. You're an old tight-a** or a young prick.

Love you all.

I hate all these new bands.
Girly-looking guys in tight clothes with funny hair and 10 pounds of makeup moping about how miserable life is and about how "misunderstood" they are. Get a life!

*Wonders what Morrissey is up to these days, while pressing 'play' on the Cure/Smiths/Siouxsie/Echo & the Bunnymen/David Bowie mix tape...*

You mean Nikki Sixx ??? Wait I thought that guy was an old fart :eek: :D

You need to think about what you said. Now go to your room and cry into your pillow. Make sure you slam the door and scream "FINE!" before the tears come.

I'm 32, and while i am disgusted with a lot of things "youth" related (txting influencing grammar for one- some girl at work actually says "***") i am equally as disgusted with things OLD people are into. A lot of the things that are being forced on me by old people are just as deplorable. As much as i think emo and scenester attitudes are stupid, it's far worse to be an old school set in your ways religious racist and think that everyone should just do what you say because we're all just a bunch of know nothing whippersnappers. Unfortunately a lot of these people are my bosses, elected officials, parents, and yes, some are TB members as i've noticed in a few previous not-so-subtle posts.

So listen up old folks- be nice to us, because we choose your nursing home!!!
