Miscellaneous Musical Genres

[Grumps]

Pretty much, it's just like kids these days wearing '80s mom jeans.

You know... I really hated that, being an admitted coin-clot connoisseur.
I call them me too jeans...

I really shouldn’t have looked for it:

A few years ago returning from a friend’s golf outing. I got scanned by x-ray. Carryon bag scanned. Then my carryon bag scanned again at boarding station. Swabbed me and my bag was searched. Why ? There was a goofball in my bag. They didn’t ask if I played Swing🤪

I am of the generation ("xennial" or "elder millennial") responsible for the term "yacht rock," so maybe I can shed some light on this. The term is now mainstream, but it started simply with a comedy series on the early days of YouTube. In fact, here it is, nineteen years on YT and counting.

"Yacht Rock" and "Blue-Eyed Soul" are somewhat interchangeable terms. They're sounds we all know, and personified by Hall and Oates, Michael McDonald (and MMD-era Doobie Bros), Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, etc. I find a lot of it boring but genuinely love some as well ("What A Fool Believes" is a pop masterpiece, IMO).
