I see people getting hung up on the term "millennial" because of the various connotations. Whether we like it or not (and I say "we" because I was born in 1985), the official standard for a generation is a 20-year window. Millennials are 1981-2000. So yes, if you were born in 1990,… Read More

I work front desk at a waxing and threading salon with mostly Indian and Nepali specialists, and our music is a long mix of music all of us request. I recognized quite a few songs from this list, but I had NO idea some of the songs we were listening to were from the 60's and 70's!… Read More

Thank. You. Adding to this, the fact that "emo" as in "emotional" is used as a pejorative makes me so fucking mad. I mean, how dare we have feelings? That's not what music is for! It's for dancing and screwing only! [/sarcasm]

My mom should be on this list, because Robin Koval is a badass. Co-started the first advertising company headed by women, and now is head of The Truth in DC. I'm so incredibly proud to be her daughter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Koval

The oldest music I can remember listening to on my own is Spice Girls and the first BSB album, so we're talking 1996/11 years old. But the music that reminds me of growing up is the music from my teens, so New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, AFI...so now we're talking 2001-2004/16-19… Read More

Not only did I have a couple of these CDs, but I kept them and ripped them when I first got an iPod, and now have a whole bunch of these still in my iTunes!

Really REALLY not trying to sound either old or judgmental here, but I'm confused on the definition of "scene". Is it raver? Candy goth? Younger punk? Is there a music genre involved? I mean, I shopped at Hot Topic as a teen for Tripp and Lip Service and everything too, but it… Read More

If "one hit wonder" is defined by reaching a certain chart level, well, then yes these songs for the most part are. But The Calling had a better single called "Adrienne", and Nine Days had a better single called "If I Am", both of which charted. I'll agree on Willa Ford though...wasn't… Read More

Becklo, are you at the Crumbs up by 86th? I have seen some crazy people (and their kids) in there! Working in retail myself, this is a given anyway, but I promise to continue to always be on my best behavior when I stop in!
