Why is it that...

Well if you lived near me, I’d blame it on not getting enough radio time. kids listen to the radio. They sure ain’t playing new pj. just their old stuff. I’m 30 and here’s what I hear when I tell somebody I like pj. What? Are they still together? They only had one album.
I don’t understand it. pj is one of the best known live acts and they’re in rolling stone from time to time, but people think they weren’t a band anymore.
Maybe it has a little to do with Ed shunning the media all those years ago. He didn’t like them, so they backed away and years later this is what happens, people don’t think they exist.
It does bug me when I get that reaction, but when I think about I’m glad they weren’t ever a media puppet.

Ha! Sam I too was sick of being called dude on here so I changed my pic. Thou I don’t know many guys that would pick blondie as their screen name. If they call me dude now, we’ve got some serious problems.

Who ever said kids always seem to recognize the music of the 70’s but not the 90’s has a very good point. I wonder why that is?

Hopefully no one will mess up your gender now

That's a good question brought up... maybe it just takes time... maybe in 20 years music knowledge of the '90s will be like it is today with the '70s.. who knows? Also, many parents of teens today were born in the 60s/70s, so they're just passing on musical knowledge to their children, maybe? I mean, my dad was the one who introduced me to classic rock at age 2!

fuck

I'm 19 and almost everyone I know has mad respect for Pearl Jam. I also got a bunch of my friends into them, especially after bringing them to some shows. And these are kids who like mainstream shit, so it's not like Pearl Jam doesn't appeal to people who listen to mainstream shit, you just have to know which songs to introduce them to in the beginning and then they'll slowly grow an appreciation for their other songs.

I've never been mocked or told "theyre ok" by anyone, although I've run into some people who didn't know who they were and would ask me to play a few songs, it worked out well almost every time.
