Comments (Old) People Write Under Old Rock Songs - "I remember I listened to this when I was 15... something something... I'm 70 now and still like this music"

[Braless & Slightly Slack]

Ever wanted a thread to discuss the genius of old farts and what seems to be dyslexic people writing comments under old songs?

If you are mobilefagging you are free to have the comment and video like the aforementioned image (with a link to the original video if possible), but if you aren't you should format it like this:

Heart of the Sunrise (2008 Remaster) - Yes

This one's kinda mundane so here's some funnier ones.

Heart Of The Sunrise (Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA 1989) - ABWH

Joe Frazier (Gradually Going Tornado) - Bruford

Survival (1969 Beat Club performance)- Yes

"Foitballer"

That's just a link to the same video he's commenting under, by the way.

Old people ruin everything on the internet (also they smell, but that's an unrelated issue). It's such a downer to look at the comments for some Zeppelin or Stones song and see some guy talking about how much his dead wife loved it. Listen Grandpa, all I want to see is a timestamp with your favorite riff and maybe a headphones emoji, not some heavy shit about your wife dying of brain cancer.

If you think this is bad, you should see them rant about AI generated images - without realizing they're AI generated images.

I always assumed it was chatbots spamming those "boomer" posts? The worst are on every fucking music video known to man "Who's here in 2025?" etc etc. Like fuck off with that shit.

Never hesitate to say goodbye or tell someone that you love them and appreciate them in your life, because they can be gone in an instant. All you will be left with is the pain and guilt for not doing so.

I remember reading this post when I was 12. I'm 1000 in 2025 and still reading!!1!

Dead Internet Theory is a lie. It's not as much spambots or AI that make the bulk of the mind-numbing spam on the internet as much as it is old people and Indians

Back when I actually used Facebook, I used to follow a page about classic rock. All the comments on every post, regardless of content, were full of old men bitching about Kanye West (only him, nobody else) and how XYZ rock band was much better. It got to the point where I wondered if it was a running in-joke I was missing out on. Of course, over a decade on, I understand they were just retarded.

 

[Braless & Slightly Slack]

I wonder if this should be expanded to encompass all old people writing silly things on the internet, what do you guys think?

I'd describe them as a combination of impotence, nostalgia, terminal ZOG brainrot, celebrity worship, defeatism, narrowmindedness, intoxication, general retardedness. It's understandable, albeit sad and not normal for kids to obsess over old rock songs, because it shows they've been brainwashed by ZOG into worshipping boomer rock. They could still get deprogrammed. It's another thing to see old people still in the same brainwashed state, likely as they were their entire lives, stuck on the same music for their entire life, worshipping it and preaching about it as if the music is so superior to anything man could make before or after it, feeling superior for worshipping it.

I kinda like it. It makes me happy that people still connect with music like this and they felt like the song is connected to an important memory of theirs.

It's gotta be weird to know you're on your way out.

 

[Grub]

I dunno makes more sense for some boomer to be reminiscing about their memories growing up with boomer rock than for some zoomer to be commenting on how fr fr no cap some 50 year old music is.

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

Oh, the memories! I remember reading this thread in 1975 driving to Tulsa, Oklahoma with my 5 year old daughter Cassidy in the car. She's going to be 55 this year and her and my grandkids still read this thread!

 

[Paradox Mystic]

Lots of youtube comment sections are flooded with people talking about "Who is listening to this in (current year!)"

or "I'm young but I listen to old music, aren't I quirky and different? Just a old soul in a young body."

I wonder how many of those old folk comments are just people lying about their age for internet points?

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

I remember reading this same complaint on the internet about shit people post on the internet back when I was 15. Now I'm 85 and I'm still reading it.

It's the 'oversharing about depressing stuff' bit that I resent. People treat youtube videos like some kind of open therapy session. I don't need a memento mori when reading the comments for When The Levee Breaks. That song is supposed to be about happy things, like a bunch of people drowning in a big-ass flood, not your stoner cousin who got killed in Nam when he was 22.

I like them as a whole.
It's like a core sample of moments and memories from a bunch of different regular lives.
It's easy to be turned off by the maudlin sentimentality of some of it but the bulk of it helps with a theory of mind for times gone.
The rock stuff is less impressive but reading early 2000s memories from old men about song from the 40s and 50s is like a keyhole into growing up in another time with fewer filters.
'How are we the same, how are we different?' seems like a useful question.

When I made this thread I wasn't here to make fun of the old people thinking about their memories with the song, I meant the old people who say silly, funny things under these comment sections.

Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace (1971 Beat Club recording)

Thanks for the trip commentary.

A loooot of people creaming their pants over the girl at the start...
