You know what’s
really scary? Because that episode is 24 years old, it’s now actually been
longer between now and then than between 1996 and 1974, the time that Homer was so fond of, when he said, “Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It’s a scientifically proven fact.” To whit, imagine me driving in a car with my kids listening to Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails, and my kids telling me, “Nobody cares about your stupid dinosaur bands, dad! You have the worst, lamest taste in music EVER!”
Imagine that. Bands from the mid to late 90s are now “dinosaur bands.” Kids today have as little knowledge of them as Bart did of Grand Funk Railroad or Jefferson Airplane. THAT is scary to me.
