Is it me, or did VC undergo a shift in taste?

No seriously, I've been in my house for six years and someone has let their dog shit on my lawn since I moved in. Every time I'm home and see a dog stop near my yard I get ready to pounce but haven't yet caught the bastard. It's sort of like VC, I peer through my old man eyes waiting for the latest Blink 182 repress thread to pop up so I can go in there and talk about how terrible they are and how dumb all their fans are for continually buying swirly vinyl after swirly vinyl.

Fact: No one around here has better taste than me.

(and the B-52s put out some great music as well as some later terrible music. They still put on a great live show)

I can't picture you as a curmudgeon.

last summer I had a neighbor pull that shit on me once as I was picking my dogs poop out of his yard, he said he'd call the cops if I didnt start picking up my dogs poop... as I held it in my hand.  I kindly told him to go fuck himself and now I make it a point not to pick up my dogs poop whenever my dog poops in his yard.

Someone said this a few years ago when the first 311 represses went up for preorder:

This board was better when only one guy liked 311, and everyone made fun of him relentlessly.

I think the influx of bad music came when all the repress labels came in, released a few albums the old demographic was interested in, then released the floodgates on the 90s-00s represses of increasingly dubious artistic merit, and fans of that music found themselves more and more at home here. Combine that with an increasingly pog-like collector mentality, and boom, style overwhelms substance with no sweat. I don't know how to feel about the fact that the response to Good Charlotte being pressed isn't "fuck Good Charlotte in their watered-down trend-hopping major label butts".

I'm still new, but I was shocked when I found out some members have very little used vinyl in their collection. That is a huge part of collecting records for me - I've lost count of how many of my favourite recent albums have been picked up for next to nothing in local fairs/bargain bins etc.

I concur. I'm certainly not opposed to buying new vinyl, but when I can score good clean stuff for a buck an album I'll do that every time.

I have been here about 2 years. I shared my opinion in the Good Charlotte thread and was handed a warning. I thinks its kind of lame. I find myself posting more in the non music related threads. The hardcore thread is really the only music thread that I post in regularly.
