Tide Pod Generation Band Names

I’m 16 and you think I’d be in a band like “the offended pretend players gone too far” or “tide pod Johnny and the fidget spinners” yes, some losers are like that but I’m not one of those squares!!! You losers put this on us. You went around making things easier for future generations and then complain that we have it too easy! You told us we could be anything and do what we want and then you complain that people act strangely and do weird stuff. We are the result of you and your millennial children’s doing!!!
“You Did It”

Edit: Why does everyone need to drag us Millenials into every doo pit? Like, we didn’t do anything bro, like, seriously, we didn’t do anything......ever. #Apathy

Don't get too bothered about it, this humour is about as mature as the dad bands threads. What started out as, "hey, what's going on at the rack?" "Nothing too much, there's some band playing coassic/dad-rock and whiskey is half price, also pool tables are like twelve bucks all you can play", has turned into "let's joke about old people", which has in turn become "let's joke about young people in the name of 'fair game'".

The old and the young have hated each other at least since we figured out how to write "Joe is a turd". Not all people, old or young, are this malicious, but disagreements happen and I can also say that while not this intentionally mean spirited, the dad band names thread was mostly just as dumb.

I agree that this is mostly humor. I’ve just been thinking about what I posted not too long ago and seeing this thread ticked me off the edge.

It's marketing BS. I've seen plenty of sociologists present and discuss the fact that you guys aren't any different from any other generation. You're just younger.

There's also people with humour that's rough around the edges to begin with, nothing wrong with that either :)

The thing that gets me is mostly when people with that kind of humour don't know when it's appropriate.

I'm still unsure where I fall in all of this. Was born in 1988, turning 30 this year and have a 2 year old daughter and a 1 year old son.. Am I a Dad Rock Millenial? Lol

You are a millenial, and at 5 years older I am as well(sup posed to be anyone born after 1980)if you are OK with being labelled.

I've played lots of "Dadrock" (I guess??) songs in a a few different cover bands...I hate that term "Dadrock", good lord!! LOL
 
This is TalkBass!
Everything here is tongue in cheek, and harmless.

You have to pick........either give as good as you got, or be butthurt....YOUR choice!
I believe the scientific nomenclature for it is "Man Up!".
Nobody here goes out of their way to be hurtful or mean, the Mods see to that! (I was just joking with bholder and used the emoji with its tongue sticking out and it was censored from my post!!)

Nobody can give offense when you're just talking, you have to take offense, and you have to choose to do that.

Rant off!
