Super old school folk/country western or other older clasic rock. Its got its stigmas and opinions but if you control your Playlist library then id recommend adding the generic artists like Kat Steven, Willie Nelson, Dylan or stretch out to other mega-artists from that gen like the Beatles. Everyone knows their name and knows their billboard br3akers but theyr library is sooo deep with artists like that, there will absolutely be songs you never heard that sound better than their chary toppers.

My last recommendation: go down the limit Hendricks live recordings, rabbit hole.

If you are like me you might write off most rge artist ive named as being too… idk… legendary. But what ive found empirically, is that even the worst songs from great artists are better than any great song by an average to good artist.

Nothing is cooler than the letter “elemenoh.” Lol (L, M, N, O)

Individuals write shit online. Individuals of similar mindsets group together online. Neither is an appropriate representation of their entire gender’s mindset. You hate an opinion not a gender.

If lemmy votes are supposed to work how reddit votes were originally creaed to work, you aren’t supposed to upvote or down vote based on anything opinionated. You upvoted posts based on content validity, relevance and quality of content. You downvoted posts that lack citation, relevance, subreddit specific rules etc. But thats dating back to the days when reddit was barely larger than lemmy.

Fucking hate advertisements that go out of their way to interrupt you.

The rest of that sentence literally defines the procedure of advertising.

It will prolly be another case of The Solution Problem.

Comments that have any tell the commentor didn’t even open the article theyre commenting on. It ruins any assumed credibility of the content in their comment.

Good luck cuz im fairly certain Microsoft doesnt have a fuckin clue how anything works in windows anymore.

Idk how i completely blanked on RAM when posting this lol. I spent so much time fucking with my drives and booting I just completely spaced out on RAM when I was staring at the progress bar moving a pixel per hour lol thanks.

Riiiiiiight. Way to make me feel instant embarrassment for how stupid I feel now🤣

This 100%. The solution problem from Psychology Today:

[The Solution Problem] …reflects a broader psychological dynamic: When solutions become abundant, they start to shape how we perceive the world. They shift our expectations. They narrow our tolerance for discomfort. And sometimes, they create new problems in the act of solving old ones.

Improved QOL doesnt always equal happier populations.

I feel like the Solution Problem was the unintended message in the ancient scripts written by Biggie Smalls in his rhythmic allegory: “Mo Money Mo Problems.” The base message of the song as it was written is that having more money brings with it the problem of being a target for haters and people who want to take what is yours. Over the years since it was released the conceptual message of More Money More Problems outgrew the literal message of the song tho.

While the song doesnt state it, the message tied to More Money More Problems grew to be used as a way of saying that before a person finds financial security, the increasing of financial income is believed to be the solution to the controlling share of societal problems. However, once a person is living a life with the increased financial income they find the existence of new problems they previously didnt know existed before the solved their financial problems.

The similar material type as popcorn seeds but isnt the seed but the casing around apple seeds. If I dance with the devil and bite too deep into the core of an apple ive gotten that seed casing stuck on my tongue or between my teeth the same way the shell of a popcorn seed will.

Oatmeal and rice in bulk is cheap as fuck and great foundations to build almost any style or cuisine type from. Add protein and/or fruit and/or veg that best fits your budget and nutritional needs. Meal prep the fuck out of your favorites and you’ll have a great system to tweak and fit to an adapting budget.

The person I know I could be.

100% first thought that came to mind was CNA (Certified Nursing Aid) for an alzheimer/dementia unit before seeing rhey got summers off.

Ive done both but always go to the first interview. It all depends on how the interview goes. If they seem desperate for help and seem to have high hopes they found their guy, ill flat out tell them that I will be allowing my current employer to match their offer. Thats only happened a couple times over the 5 times I’ve done this. I try to bring no less than 3 offers to the table for my employer to match. So even some of the shittiest companies I had zero intentions of committing to, will still be used.

The two biggest cards in my deck tho, in my opinion, are 1. That most people who work with me know that I dont balk at much. If I say im guna do something, I make sure I do everything in my power to make sure it happens. 2. Im 37 year old male unmarried and childless, my risk management allowance is muuuuuuuuuch wider than most people I compete with on the job market. If my current employer doesnt match someday, then I have no problem jumping ship and changing course.

The key is that your employer knows you would jump ship if it comes down to it. At rhe same time, you need to know what your value is for your employer and the cost they will pay to train ypur replacement so they know they aren’t only retaining a valuable asset of their company bit theyre doing it at a lower operating cost than it will cost them to train someone compleyely new to get them up to your current work load.

Before every 3rd annual review I set out getting competitive wages from competitors to bring to my review for my current employer to match or else I accept the competing offer and my current employer can use my annual review as my 2 week notice.

Has worked 5 out of 5 times accross 3 different companies over my 20 year work span.

There are always things people want to tell to another person(s) that when spoken either thru inner dialog or outloud, will always feel like they’re so easy to say or hear. The title of this post is a perfect exa.ple of what im trying to write avout in this comment.

I stared at that title for waaaaay too long in both the front page feed interface as well in this open comment section interface before my brain stopped either having a stroke or stopped lagg g g ing so fucking hard before I under stood why it was saying. I didnt really have a noticeablr problem. Im being dramatic but it definitely a blink or two to get thru reading the words individually, then right away read back thru looking for common word groupings. Then pulled phone back looked at the sentence as a whole beforeitfinallyclickedand****i****Ifeltsoooooostupid

What are you calling “this generation”? Mellenials are the largest generation and span from like late 20’s to 40ish. Zoomers are graduating and entering the workforce. The generation younger than gen z (idk what their name is) are school aged and often the driving force behind what is and ist popular.

As a mellenial who considers RATM, Nirvana and 2pac as more gen x derived, id say the whole underground skateboard/snowboarding rap scene was the closest to those 3 bands when it comes to originality and music with a message. Off the top of my head I can think of Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, Coremega, Jedi Mind Tricks

Less underground but still goats would be Nas, J.Cole, Eminem, Mac Miller, Jay Z. You cant name an artist more original than Lil Wayne with his whole never writing a single song down and saying whatever comes out of his mouth in the booth gets recorded.

As for bands, id go with, System of a Down, Jack White/White Stripes/Raconteurs/whatever other side projects Jack White has in the works, Green Day, American Idiot was pure blooded mellenial rebellion eventhough I would put them half in gen X (Dookie) and half in mellenial bucket (American Idiot). I was never an emo fan but My Chemical Romance’s Black Parade album is one of the best rock opera albums ever released.

If you are using Limp Biscuit as an example of taking over the radio kind of popularity then id have to go towards country artists like Swift, Toby Kieth, Eric Church etc. Country went from being the red headed bastard of all music genres to becoming the most widely listened to genre accross all demographics in less than a decade.

Notable mentions that didnt make the list for near misses or for being too generationally ambiguous:

• Beyonce
• Foo Fighters
• No Doubt
• Sublime (even tho chronologically 100% gen x but I dont know a single peer in the mellenial gen that didnt have ever sublime album on hand with one cd always playing round the clock)
• ska bands like Pepper, Butthole Surfers, O.A.R., Badfish
• Red Hot Chilli Peppers
• Johnny Cash (his late in life album that he remade Hurt by NIN is arguably some of his best work)
• Blink 182
• the whole catalog from all the Dipset artists
• Outkast
• DMX
• Lupe Fiasco
• Common
• Mos Def
• hate him or love him you cant deny his influence on the entire music scene… Kanye “Benjamin Franklin didnt win 21 Grammys” West

I feel like this is a question entire music history courses are built off of. Especially being a mellenial, myself. All the generations before us could count music genres on one hand with subgenres not even a thing yet. And maybe im just old but I feel like the generation that has followed so far has completely checked out on making new music. I 100% admit I dont count EDM as meeting any definable characteristic of musical art. I mean I guess gen Z can have credit for the mellenial’s left over hip hop evolution with Kendrick, Chance, and … idk i guess mumble rap. I even looked up genZ musical artists and didnt find much else. Which isnt to say its bad but I certainly wouldn’t include it with the names being tossed around in my main comment to the question cuz they could all battle for a spot on music’s mount Rushmore of music lol.

Edit: I know im missing some big names but im not guna edit my list everytime kne pops in my head lol

Got any examples of the videos you are referring too?
