Mar 9, 2024 My buddy sent me the funniest text the other day using "old head" The new gen came up with a new name to call people when they are confronted about their views lol. For a while they'd call anyone who had a different opinion a "boomer" now they graduated to "old head" That's the best stuff they can come up with lol wish theyd understand, not everyone is a soft sensitive fa----. He doesnt use social media so much. I was dying at the text
Mar 9, 2024 I've only seen it used to disrespect or dismiss rap music that's not from the last 5 years lol, I didn't know it had replaced "boomer" Then again, I don't use social media that much either, pretty much only dead forums and youtube
Mar 9, 2024 I've seen lil wayne being called "old head" music, and I remember back when he was the "downfall" of rap music and how he was gonna ruin the whole f---ing thing I'm not even that old btw I'll never get over the Lil Wayne memes whenever Em released some s--- "HELLO MCDONALDS? EMINEM IS BACK" those were cringy even back then, I never understood why stans thought lil wayne was the enemy or some s---, I always got s--- from stans for liking lil wayne's mixtapes, then they started sucking his d-ck when they worked together on recovery and drop the world
Mar 9, 2024 Lil wayne is atrocious most of the time, but in comparison to a lot of the non "old head" music hes quite good
Mar 9, 2024 When does "new rap" start for y'all? Obviously it's a sliding scale as time goes on but I genuinely don't when music started to become s--- for you lol.
Mar 9, 2024 I remember when I was a kid and my uncles at the barber shop use to say 50 was destroying rap music…. And then they said the same thing when the whole snap and Trap T.I. & T-pain era happen. Wonder what they would think of drill and trap music today.
Mar 9, 2024 Hmmm good question lol id say its more of a recent trend, like since covid its gotten progressively worse. Along with many artists trying to make trendy songs for tik tok and social media.
Mar 9, 2024 TikTok is heavily influencing song structure for sure, some people can do it well but trying to make songs for the sake of it being catchy just feels gross to listen to. Idk how some other people can't hear how manufactured some music is.
Mar 9, 2024 It usually refers to the ringtone era onwards I used to be called an old head on forums when I was 15 years old lol
Mar 9, 2024 Gotcha, so just the overall point of the big commercialization of rap. Understandable but Soulja Boy still slaps tho
