I would be interested to know within what context people would have been saying that for hundreds of years.
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youAlso it does work out cheaper to buy the pack as such for £200 , than the same guitar/amp + goodies to be sold separately
Not a starter kit, and I suppose having a Dad that takes an interest makes a bit of a difference, but there are kids still interested in this stuff. Even if she does want to play Taylor Swift, she also does a mean Joan Jett. I do fear for music in schools, though...
The flip side is that, whist electric guitar starter package deal sales are down, ukulele sales are way up. The £200 - 250 that might have previously been spent on an unashamedly "beginner" electric guitar outfit lands a seriously tasteful uke.
It goes in cycles, it'll come back, like it did in the late 80s/early 90s after the electronica boom.
So people have certainly been saying it for at least 30 years, and I'm fairly sure my father used to complain about me and my brothers and sisters having no attention span, back in the 60s and 70s, too.
It wasn't a complaint.
I said "if", making a "reasonable bet" that a culture of you know what perhaps isn't conducive to an activity which requires quite a commitment in terms of time and effort vs. how quickly you can reasonably expect decent results, depending on your definition of "decent".
Or whatever.
There are, as there have long been, people of all ages who are lazy and don't want to put effort into developing skills. There are, as there have long been, people who want to learn and are willing to put the effort in. And there are people, as there have long been, who want to act like the world is worse than it's ever been before.
Sneering at others certainly isn't going to make the world better.
I think we should stop now. You're welcome to send me a PM and we could perhaps clarify our differences that way. I have a low interest in public forum spats.
I'll amend my first post to perhaps make more clear what I was trying to say.
You'll note that you accuse "the younger generations" as a whole of lacking stick-to-it-iveness. If that's not a lazy stereotype then I don't know what is!
