It's obviously a hyperbole, my dude. I can dig the 60s, 70s, and 90s but 80s music and culture for the most part just annoys me. Especially when people who grew up in that generation asks like it was the golden age. It's trivia, they should just accept that music and culture developed after they graduated high school and didn't stop in its tracks for them.
Again, some great things came out in the 80s, but a lot of it just fucking sucked.
Tell us what that's like.
There's a Springsteen song about what you're describing, but I doubt you'd like it. It's from the 80's.
If you look at every one of those decades, a lot more things that fucking sucked were produced than things that were great. That's just the way things go.
I call everyone "my dude", my dude. My generation made it a gender neutral term I guess.
You're probably right. It's just the snobbiness of that generation that just makes the shitty stuff shittier to me. I never have a problem with those who grew up in the 70s or 90s. They just acknowledge that not every question or song is gonna be directed to them. And trivia isn't even just an adult thing here. We have a few teams made of teenagers, some young 20s, etc.
I am pretty sure that "dude," your so called gender neutral term was around far before you were.

I didn't say it wasn't, I just said it became more gender neutral over time.

I just got back to work from 10 day vacation in Colorado to see family and Tame Impala at red rocks. I have a huge stack of work piled up now. Welcome back to reality :/
Our trivia people (it changes week to week) play music but it's always related to the question, and can sometimes be a clue
That's what I do always. Problem is, people can't appreciate varying genres. I play about 20 songs, always one country and one rap song but people still complain there's "too much rap". As if it isn't a huge genre.

I haven't really been talking much about this because I was afraid of jinxing it, but at this point, I'm not even sure what I really want anyway, and it's going to be what it's going to be, so here goes.
I applied for a job in May. Didn't hear back, so after a few weeks, I completely wrote it off. Then, at the beginning of August, I unexpectedly got a call for an interview. The job is far from here, and they let me do a video interview. I thought it went fine, but I didn't have a strong feeling about it one way or the other. Video interviews are kind of awkward and it's just hard to get a feel for it, I think. Twelve days went by, and I had pretty well put it out of my head again, when the woman in charge of hiring called to say that she had narrowed it down to "a few" candidates and wanted to do a second round of interviews. She asked if I could travel there for the interview and they would schedule their other interviews around mine, as all of the other candidates they wanted to do second interviews with were local. Luckily, my grandfather is super helpful and was able to book me plane tickets to go there for the interview last Monday. I felt like it went really, really well, but of course, someone else's could have gone better.
Anyway, at the end of the interview, she told me that she hoped to make a decision within the week. I'm still not sure if she meant by the end of last week or within a week of the interview, but either way, by today, in theory. Every other step of this has been lengthy. I mean, I didn't even get the call for the interview for two and a half months after I applied. So I realize that her goal of making a decision within a week doesn't actually mean that she necessarily will make a decision in that time. But I am sitting here going absolutely crazy today.
I've already decided that if I get an offer at a reasonable salary (it's probably going to involve a pay cut, but as long as it's not too huge a cut, that would be acceptable), I'm going to accept it, but I'm not even totally sure I want it. It would be a big change, which in itself would not necessarily be a bad thing, but I like my job now and change is scary. Location-wise, there would be both big advantages and big disadvantages. But anyway, moving is scary too because we'd have to sell our house. It doesn't seem to be a bad time for doing that, but I'm afraid of putting it up for sale and having it linger.
Right now, I just want to know something one way or the other so that I can start making plans or put the whole thing behind me. I'm not made for comfortably waiting around in limbo!

That completely sucks being in limbo. I hope that you get an answer one way or another so you can rest your mind.

But really, that is a dick move.
