YES!!!!! I was chatting to a workmate about bands and when I said I like
U2 and R.E.M. he laughed and said "Ohhh, you like old-fogey bands!". It
wasn't that he said U2 were old, it's just that he implied U2 and R.E.M.
don't move with the times that bugged me.

Ahhh, the ignorance of youth.

(Hoping not to start the age-war again)
