I somewhat disagree to your disagree. Fashion is on a 10 to 15 year cycle. Music generates fashion. Chuck Taylor converse were not cool when I was in elementry school but in high school thay made a come back. They went out again and now are more popular than ever, thanks to pop bands, skater nation, and Snoop Dogg.
Motley Crue, Ozzy, AC/DC, Metallica, Green Day, The Who, The Rolling Stones etc.... are still making music, or touring, or making a reality tv show. Therefore they are still relevant, so the vampire store still carries as much as they can by them.
I get what your getting at Allen, but I still believe that there is a huge generation gap. I went back as old school as I could in music and movies. I listen to anything from dixie big band to 20's swing to silent movies with Charlie Chaplin. Most don't go beyond the cartoon year they grew up with. Someone graduating this year should have watched Porky's without being told it kicked ass just like I watched The Graduate, Casablanca, On the Waterfront......
Start thinking of the 20 movies you would watch if you if you were dying and thats all you could do. No good byes, no I love yous, no sex, no food, only allowed enough time to watch you favorite 20 movies.
