Generation Jones is sick of your bullshit. You slacker X-ers and even slacker Y-ers constantly wanting stuff. We invented Punk rock in '76 and had some proper riots in the early 80s. It was us that shot first along with Han Solo. And what's worse is that everyone denies we even exist. We're too young to be boomers and too old to be X-ers. Just like the 70s is the forgotten decade, we're the forgotten generation.
The only good side to that is we've managed to avoid all that retro-nostalgia. Nobody wants to go back and listen to prog-rock again. And it's pretty hard to sanitise and remake the Sex Pistols. Homage to The Police? Puleaze!
And in case you hadn't noticed we're in charge now. So STFU!
I was really thinking of musical pastiche and homage. Every so often we get this retro-nostalgia trip for 80s music (witness Madonna's half time show at the superbowl). Thankfully this doesn't happen too often for 70s music. Except for Slade at Christmas of course.
