Modern Music (Get Off My Lawn)

Post by GORDON »

Back in our day, it was considered the height of awesomeness to have a 1-word name, and that was all it took to identify you because you were so cool.

Madonna. Cher. Prince.


Kids last week started using their gang/street monikers.

Ice T. Ice Cube. Vanilla Ice.


These kids yesterday took it a step farther, naming themselves after abstract concepts.

The Weekend. The Dream. Megan Thee Stallion (a personal fave of mine to ridicule).


Kids today just use random letters and numbers.

SZA. 6ix9ine (or whatever that one is).



So what are the cool kidz doing tomorrow?

Like... a person whose identity is just a particular shade of the color blue? Math equations? The smell of barbecue sauce?

The top female pop artists are all just Firstname Lastname right now.

And just like that, Catt named the next breakout artist.

Chunky A was really the pinnacle of the phenomenon.
