I am officially OLD

[evildrem]

I have just spent an hour in the Post Office waiting to pick up a parcel. While standing in the queue I overheard a conversation between a brother and sister, I'm guessing the boy was around 8-9 and the girl 10-11. It would appear that the boy had been allowed to play some kind of karaoke game in school..

Boy: "Yeah and then Steve did this song called 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and it was amazing"
Girl: Did what?
Boy: 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'..
Girl: Oh, who are they?
Boy: Its a song, done by um I dunno some emo band or something. It was good..
Girl: What like My Chemical Romance?
Boy: They didn't have any of their stuff, the selection sucked.

My only comfort was the couple standing across from me in the queue who appeared to be around my age and were wearing the exact same look of horror/amusement that must have been on my face.

*facepalm*

I feel positively ancient..

I'm kinda scared I am about to turn into my mum.

[franzi1981.livejournal.com]

Nah. I doubt you'll turn into your mum. *G*

You're way too perverted for that ;) (then again, I don't know your mum)

Kinda torn between laughing and crying to be honest.

My Chemical Romance isn't emo! Nirvana Nirvana it's GODDAMN NIRVANA HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW oh god, my head hurts. I need to lie down.

(It's just like those kids tuning into House after American Idol and asking, "What's this 'teenage wasteland' song?")

Well, it makes a change from the thirteen-year-olds wearing Nirvana hoodies in the Bargate mall...

I suppose..

[evildrem.livejournal.com]

..at least I can vaguely relate to them. This just underlines the fact that I am old and definitely no longer down with kids.

[wirrrn.livejournal.com]

And you immediately referred these children to the nearest boogeyman's closet or troll bridge, I hope *g*

I should have done but I was kinda too appalled at the time to do anything other then try not to burst into hysterical laughter.

*whimpers* Oh my, that's sad. They didn't even know Nirvana or Kurt Cobain. Ack, I'm grabbing the cane and hobbling off now. *grins*

I need an I am Old icon I think.

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Can we feature our fave immortals with that icon? *grins*

Oh my god. I'm pretty sure that's blasphemy somehow. Now I feel old, too.

And how come I never got to play a Nirvana karaoke game when I was in school? Screw watching Iron Will for the five millionth time with a substitute, let's do Nirvana karaoke!

I was laughing at the term "Some emo band". At least he knew it was good so shows some taste even if they don't know who sung it. I am a little disturbed at the idea of Nirvana karaoke but at least they are getting some musical education.

...and it's the same look on my face right now. o_O

Come, as you are, as a friend, as I waaaaaaaant you to be ~

Wow, I haven't heard the song since my high school days. I'm getting old too. *lol*
