3. What an exageration

Sir mix a lot is nothing like today's hip-hop, Adele is nothing like Mariah Carey(except for both being overrated).
I don't see people dressed like 1992. However, if you cut things up into 10-year increments instead of
20 years, I think he would have a point. 2012 looks and sounds more like 2002 than 2002 sounds and looks like
1992. He totally missed the passing of grunge/alt rock for boy bands and Britney Spears type stuff.
I think he's right about literature, though.
He might be another old guy just complaining about the younger generation, but with different complaint than
usual...instead of being too wild crazy and newfangled, the youngins are now boring.

Doug Stanhope's prediction may yet come true:
