    You ask a 19-year old musician what kind of music he plays, and he responds, "Nothing you would like." :sigh:

    It's even worse when you realise he's right.

      Did he repeat his question? For all you know he may have asked you "Would you like to hear VanDyke?" Hearing can get affected at an old age you know.

          Are you sure he didn't say 'Nothing you would hear'? ;P

                That doesn't make you old, it makes him an a-hole :) Ultimately there's only one person who can decide if you like a certain style of music and that's you. I've been at the biggest metal festival in Europe and I've witnessed an 80+ or so grandpa in leather jacket walking the festival terrain with his walking rack :laugh: The 19-year old musician could've had a new fan and instead of posting about being old you could be posting about his fantastic music right now, which potentially could've make him even more fans :) Or perhaps he knew he sucked :laugh:

                    I do and prefer them over the STL (I also use VS6, which is not very compatible with STL. Not my choice.) as I know their reliability or lack of so and their working and logic. They are simple and allow me to easily use their features without having to modify much in my code.

                                        Indeed. I'm pissed that I won't be in Germany these coming months. I wanted to catch at least a few of the Crüxshadows shows. No one in the band, at least, minds my age. :p

                                        We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc.

                                          You ask a 19-year old musician what kind of music he plays, and he responds, "Nothing you would like." :sigh:

                                          The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

                                          Are you sure he was a musician? It could be:

                                          • They can't play at all, so "nothing you'd like" would be accurate
                                          • They play so badly that it should have been "nothing that anybody likes"
                                          • Nobody actually likes what he plays, but it's clever so people pretend to like it; a sort of "Emperor's New Clothes" effect (and he's actually honest about it)
                                          • He is mistaken and it's possible you would like it
                                          • He plays something that's so weird that only an obvious visual minority would like it

                                          Come to think of it, that last point does cover young trend followers. In any case, he's a jerk!

                                          Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
