Comes from Matt Yglesias:

Personally, I consider myself someone who enjoys nostalgia. But this article (via Alyssa Rosenberg) about the boom in twentysomething nostalgia mostly reminded me of bad times via the phrase “three of the biggest bands of the period — Blink-182, Limp Bizkit and Creed — have each reunited for summer tours.” What a bleak period! Those bands are terrible. Any time you have a list of bands such that Blink-182 is by far the best, you’re in big trouble.

Amen, brother. Makes me glad I came of age in the late 80s/early 90s when actual good music was popular. Of course, if you’re up for Gen-X nostalgia, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Collective Soul all apparently have new albums on the way. (I’m actually looking forward to the new AiC.)

p.s. You can hear the new AiC song, “A Looking In View,” here. (The new singer is very Staley-esque.)
