slow year

 

I feel old at just 27.

Was asked today by the 23 year old girl I work with in my Marketing department what my band sounds like, because she overheard me talking to some other colleagues about our plans to record our debut non-demo EP next month.

Now I'm not an idiot, I knew if I said "We sound like Joyce Manor meets Modern Baseball" she would have no idea what I meant, so I reached and said "I guess we kind of sound like a faster more interesting Blink-182?" and she just said "Who is that? Never heard of them... Is it kind of like Busted?"

God I am old.

 

I always just tell them we sound like katy perry

 

how the fuck has she not heard of blink-182 but she’s heard of busted?

 

She’s your age group, you tell us.

 

Honestly I have no idea. It's not like Blink are a totally unknown band. I guess maybe because Busted were literally unavoidable in the UK at that time and maybe by then Blink were on hiatus and now she's not exactly into guitar music.

I can see how it happens even if it seems mad to me.

 

Everyone I know has heard of blink, including people younger than me but I live in San Diego and he lives in the UK so that might explain it

 

didn't mark do something with busted like around when neighborhoods came out or was that another uk band?

 

This just hurt my 36 year old heart

 

you're 36?!

 

I thought you were 34?

 

As of last Thursday, yep.

 

yeah, i could’ve sworn she was 34

 

We've been living a lie friendo

 

Why'd you skip 35?
Did you have a nice birthday?

 

sadly I didn’t skip it, I just stopped posting here for a while.

spent most of the year recovering from tearing my ACL in June.

 

And my birthday always sucks because it’s right after the new year and no one cares

 

Hey Chris!

 

...are you still 34?!

 

i’m 35, bro

 

You were our only friend!

 

I'm 36. get over it.

 

Well I'm glad you at least age chronologically
