It's a pretty popular thing as one gets older to complain about the crap music that is "in" with the kids. I've listened to a lot of trash on XM while I was on vacation so I'm particularly sensitive right now....even when I'm trying to avoid it I still got a load of Jonas Brothers, Rihanna and "I Kissed a Girl" and I've had enough.
I'm sure when I was a kid though that my parents had similar reactions to the Run DMC, Metallica, and Steve Vai coming out of my stereo. I get a similar reaction from Margo when my iPod goes from Daath to Saul Williams to Muris Varajic now. The more things change, the more they stay the same, as they say.
Maybe things are not quite as bad as I thought though...
Here's a 16 year old girl in the Netherlands playing ...And Justice For All and doing a damn good job at it. She has a bunch of other videos in her Youtube account with with more well-done covers. The kids are gonna be alright after all. Rock on Cizzie.
