A Question

So we say we've evolved. We've judged people on the music they listen to. we've rolled our eyes when a car playing loud thumping remixes zoomed past us. nodded our heads when the actual fans discussed Radiohead catalogs. got free food by playing covers of pink floyd songs. smoked up weed with groovy "world" music in the background. reached a high when people just talked about sufi music. Chose Rabbi Shergill over Sonu Nigam. wore loose flannel shirts and talked about how cool it'd be to be in Seattle in the early 90's while listening to the Vedders, Cobains and Cornells. wished we were born in the 50's America so as to enjoy the entropic 60's it produced. Sipped chai and munched on jalebis while discussing the arty-ness of the Velvet Underground.debated on whether it was David Bowie or Lou Reed. longed to have troubled childhoods like those of the people Smashing Pumpkins talk about in their songs. Admitted that Joan Baez is hotter than Marilyn Monroe.


Why is it, that after all of this, we still scream the loudest and dance the funkiest at Bryan Adams' Summer of '69 and Sukhwinder's Chhaiyyan Chhaiyyan ?
