Gwen Stephanie No clue. Unless this is Gwen Stafani, in which case she’s old-school 1990, your parent’s generation
P Diddy Again, old-school Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, etc. Do 20-somethings not have anything new, that they still have to mine the 1990’s for?
Maroon 5 Heard of them, but no idea what they play.
Christina Aguilera Again, 20-somethings, why are you listening to your parent’s music?
Katy Perry Hey, something sort of new. I recognize a couple of her songs.
Justin Timberlake Sigh…90’s guy still carrying on.
Beyonce Still waiting for some new talent…
Justin Bieber …aiiiggghh. Put me back in the 90’s. Please!
Some of them might mention
Nikki Minaj No idea
Snoop Again, not remotely new
Jay Z No idea
Black Keys Heard of for the first time last week, like their stuff
Adele Mrs G loves her and plays her constantly
Glee Have never watched it, though commercials for it saturate the airwaves
Florence and the Machine No idea
So for the test results, I find myself scoring very highly on 1990s pop culture and music. Based on a statistical sampling of the test, the pop-culture of hot-button 20-something youth is really just 60% 1990s nostalgia.
What is with those little carts? I went into a Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago for that vegetarian roast (started a thread about it a while back) and noticed their itty bitty carts… I hadn’t been in one of their stores more than a handful of times ever, and not in many years in any case… are these their standard carts? Is it because that’s all the food anyone shopping there can afford to buy? I thought it was a quirk of that store… interesting..
Btw, I admit I am out of touch. I know who Justin Bieber is mostly from his Graham Norton interview. ::hangs head in shame:: He may have sung on said show, but I don’t remember it. It wasn’t my type of music so I didn’t make note of it.
Vaguely related to the thread: Pandora is both a blessing and a twisting knife. On the blessing side, it lets you listen to hours on end of music you’ll probably like. On the knife end, it keeps you away from hearing a lot of new music that who knows–you might end up liking?
My inexposure to video games growing up was also affected by the fact that my mom tended to buy me Christmas presents and stuff like sets of sheets for my bed, or new pajamas, rather than toys/video game consoles*/etc
*for most of my childhood there was a color TV in my mom’s room, a color TV in her roommate’s room, and a 13" black and white tv in the living room that I was occasionally allowed to watch, when I was allowed into the living room at all (there was a weird taboo about that that I’ve never understood. Why I wasn’t allowed in there has always escaped me.) So chances are even if I had a video console, it would have sucked to play on it.
QUOTE by Omega Glory;14572709–Let’s see for non musical things (sorry for no quote tag, but this seemed an easier formatting) - True Blood --watch it The Vampire Diaries --heard of it, never seen it
The personalities of the Jersey Shore --seen a couple of them interviewed, never watched the show Twitter--use it when I remember to, but am abd 16 and Pregnant–never heard of it The Bad Girls Club--dunno what that is Real Housewives of ____--heard of it/them, but not eve seen an episode, and don’t actually have any inkling of what they’re about. Started out thinking they were reality shows, but now I think they’re not?
I’m 47, watch HGTV, NatGeo, History- type TV and the only radio I listen to is whatever someone else is playing in the car. I get most of my entertainment on the internet.
