Despair

It may be me, getting old, (this arthritus medication isn't going to take itself) but band names nowadays are just getting silly. Can you ever imagine 'The Mother Fucking Black Cats' headlining Wembley? 'Yeah mum, I'm so excited, I've spent £80 for a ticket and taken half a day off work, along with thousands of other faithful followers, to go see The Mother Fucking Black Cats at Wembley tonight on their 50 date residency there. The first of its kind ever because of the public's insatiable demand for this, the most popular band of all time, The Mother Fucking Black Cats', 'Have fun dear, don't forget your coat looks like it might rain'. Or Danananakroyd, which is admittedly hilarious, but also sounds like the sort of name a fake band in a witty high school comedy would choose. The band of the annoying little brother (in my head played by Anthony Michael Hall circa 1985) who continuously (and hilariously) messes up the love interludes between the sassy protagonist and her crush object. It is not a band that's going to sell 1 million records. They will 7 records to their mums and three girls who are under the mistaken delusion that just because someone sings in a band it makes them inherently interesting or appealing in some way (FUN SCIENCE FACT: it does not, if anything it has the opposite effect).

I just... The youth of today. I mean, really. I despair.
