Agreed. I loved me some Adventure Time and Avatar: The Last Airbender as well. In addition to stuff my dad showed me, like Animaniacs, The Simpsons (seasons 1-9), which were just a bit before my time, and The Muppet Show.

It's our duty to show others what we know. We have easy accessibility. YouTube is free. People aren't limited to the last 40 years of music. Try to find music you think people would like (based on what you already know about their taste). Bring them along slowly if you must, but eventually, if they give feedback to YouTube (thumbs up/down), they'll get a lot of recommendations and maybe introduce you to some great music?

HI,

BINGO .... the accessibility and the availability of anything/everything, is at its best ... that it has ever been, and we find old stuff even more ... (hello PP!) ... which is nutz.

Compare that ability with 60/70 years ago, with no Internet, and the academic folks were the few folks that had some access and knowledge of a lot of materials, although, none of them were known to be well known or popular ... and then go back 100 years with no direct communications, and the only music you know is the one that shows up at the burlesque/fun/bad theater ... or someone commenting they heard someone else say this or that ... but no direct ability to hear the music, since at that time it was still a part of the upper class a lot more than it was anywhere else. "Culture" was not known to be a part of the lower classes, so to speak ... and today, guess what ... all culture is defined by all classes and a lot of the academic bruhaha is going to end up in the trash, because much of it was anyway!

I kinda think that the youngsters, sooner or later, will realize how much stuff is out there and they will come around and find ... some of the things that we did ... and many more, since we're a bit slow (STILL!) about getting to new stuff ... just look at the new listings, and a good 75/80% of it has pretty much the same conventional sound ... oh yeah ... another growl band with a loud guitar ... wow ... heavy man!!!

We did the same thing in the late 60's and early 70's when all of a sudden all we thought was great was ...LOUD .... actually VERY LOUD ... and while some of it was nice and ok, some of it was more of the same ... heck, I walked out of a Deep Purple concert (with Leon Russell as the other act!), because it was so loud and not very good ... something was missing! 

The "Internet" opened up all the arts and everything else to the "lower classes" which is a really interesting conundrum for the higher classes ... nice to make the money off them, but they are getting smarter and knowing more ... and history tends to suggest that ends in disaster. But it doesn't bode well for the places that are hard liners and try to control their people like children in a crib. Just don't call it "religion" please!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
