So what?

Since the beginnings of ragtime over a century ago old people have been denouncing the music that kids like. My parents didn't care for the Beatles records I bought. My grandfather didn't like the jazz my father snuck out of the house at night to hear in Saint Louis clubs in the early '40s. My daughter probably won't like the Sex Pistols and Clash records that mean so much to me. Who cares? An important part of being a teenager is establishing your own identity and seperating yourself from your parents. One way to do that is by adopting pop culture that isn't owned by adults and, even better, annoys most of them.

Adults who denounce an entire genre of music as crap are just idiots. There's good and bad in all styles.
