Andy Rooney speaks about contemporary music and how he is losing touch with today's popular artists. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Usher? It's All A Mystery To Andy!

Andy Rooney is an anchor on the popular TV show 60 Minutes, and they basically give him a few minutes per week to 'say something insightful or funny.' He seems like the type of bro who they gave a job to back when they had tons of money to throw around, but now he just keeps showing up, so they have to pay him as some sort of 'memorial' to the way the industry/journalism/television used to work. Feel like even if his pieces were once insightful, his segment has probably just turned into the vlog of a person who is slowly dying, and becoming less culturally aware/significant by the week.

In this recent vlog, he starts out by claiming he is 'a very mainstream American' because he is white, has a family, served in the military, and other normal ass stuff that makes you a generic American consumer. Then he says he read Billboard magazine (not sure if he knows how to use a computer), and he said he didn't recognize any of the top 200 artists. I think he was trying to probably make the point that 'dumb kids don't know shit abt good music.'

He went on to name drop Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Usher, then laughs in disbelief because he is 'just an ordinary American', but these popular artists don't resonate with him. Think he forgets that he is a senior citizen and doesn't use the internet, probably. Even Larry King does his best 2 tweet.

I feel bad for this bro. Like if his kids loved him, they would 'keep him in touch' with pop music, and give him a preloaded iPod.
Do old people who try to make a point just sound like they are just 'bitching' that too much stuff has changed?

Feel like it is naturally that old people listen to old ass boring music, and tweens listen to shitty, inconsequential new music. Think this bro should 'get over it' and quit 'bitching' on national TV. Overall, this content 'made me sad' because I just get kinda sad whenever I see an old person do anything because it reminds me that one day I will be old, unhealthy, irrelevant, and abt 2 die.

Is Jim Carrey the most authentic 60 Minutes anchor of all time?

The show 60 Minutes seems like a terrible national extension of the local news, or something, but I guess the people who still watch TV are old and about to die, and probably related to this segment.

Do u feel sad when old people talk about new music?
Are the bands that I like now the bands that I will like forever, or will I continue searching for buzzbands until I die?
Is it 'worth it' to be culturally connected if u just find out abt shitty music?
Should I become a journalist and get a job on 60 minutes / 48 hours / nightline / Anderson Cooper 360?
Do you have any good buzzband reccs for Andy Rooney?
Do 'talking head' journalists who are trying to shed some light on a cultural phenomenon that they are unqualified to talk abt just make u kinda sad?
Do u hope u get dementia / Alzheimer's when you get old so u don't have to worry about remaining mainstream, alt, or culturally relevant?
