Fucking Kashmir. I could listen to that song for weeks and not get tired of it.

Kids these days, amirite?

Wait. All I can hear is “GET OFF MY LAWN.” Can we just, as a culture, stop pretending that people in the past were somehow better than people now?

Waving my church fan. Also, having a chuckle imagining 30 years from now, there will be another graphic with those G6 lyrics at the top being fondly remembered and better than whatever will be popular in the future.

TRUTH! G6 ain’t the only music out there, just as Led Zeppelin wasn’t in 1975.

I realize these lyrics are juxtaposed to make G6 look dumb, shallow and weird (a move which has class and racial undertones), but the Led Zeppelin lyrics? Come the fuck on. They are terrible. They make the band sound like a bunch of precious, pretentious wankers.

The mid-70s were actually a kind of shitty time for mainstream rock music. It was bloated, self-satisfied and boring as fuck…which is what made the punk movement so necessary and welcome. Only a rockist, middle classed, baby boomer dad would think “Kashmir” is an example of lyrical genius. And only a rockist jerk would choose a rather silly rap song to contrast with the Led Zeppelin one. But put “Kashmir” up against something by, say, Kanye West and I guarantee 2010 isn’t going to come off looking worse.
