Mr. Tea
Let's Talk About Ceps
Trigger warning: silly hypothetical thread. Alloooow it.
In roughly what year 'should' you have been born to make the most of the period/scene/genre of music you like the most?
Would you opt for 1950, so as to have been 17 in the original Summer of Love? Or skip two decades and be that age in the second SoL, right in time to catch the acid house/rave explosion and The Golden Age Of Rap - and then see Nirvana at the Reading Festival? Or split the difference and be a young 'un in the heady days of (post-)punk, disco, new wave and the peak of reggae influence in Britain, and witness the very birth of hip-hop - as well as seeing David Bowie performing his Berlin albums when they were hot off the press?
Or perhaps you're a 40-something grime and dubstep nut who'd give anything to have been 17 in 2004?
Or Salzburg in 1750? Or what?
