    That feeling when some millennial Episode IV Luke Skywalker hair asks who Fishbone is.

    I’m a millennial and I’ve never heard of Cypress Hill. Looks like it’s more of an American thing after I looked it up.

      I’m a millennial metalhead from Switzerland, and I have heard of them, listened to them quite a lot years ago.

      I guess it depends on multiple factors, not just the continent.

          Nope, I’m not and was not.

          Edit for your edit: I definitely see what you mean, I mean with these lyrics xD. I can enjoy their music anyway. During the time I listened to them more actively, I haven’t even tried it once yet.

        Maybe its an old millennial thing, as a millennial on the border of gen Z, never heard of them.

          Might be, I was born in the mid 90’s, so I’m quite young for a millennial I guess.

        Idk, I’m not really into pop, hip hop, etc. and I also get the feeling that they weren’t as big here in the Netherlands as they were in the states. I’m also very much on the young end of the “millennial” range. I’ve just listened some of their stuff, and I recognise some of it vaguely. But definitely not enough not remember their name.

      I’m Dutch, everyone I know from my age knows Cypress Hill. I mean, he’s a fucking legend.

    Don’t fret. Discovering good music from before your own generation tends to happen in people’s 30’s and later. They start feeling detached from the “new” music, so start discovering music people from all generations loved and they will discover plenty of older music they then come to love.

    Do have to say that the current gen especially is more detached from the music of their parents than Millenials and older were, because often they had internet and their own phones on which they listened to their own music, rather than growing up often hearing their parents music.

    My mom was in a rock cover band that covered the 60’s-80’s and my dad was in both a brass band and orchestra, through them I got in touch with classic rock and the roots of metal pretty early on and learned my fair share of classical music.

    My sisters kids have no clue about any music but what they share with their peers.

      There’s this hilarious story about a time where this dude named Nadav who was working for Weedmaps at the time got B-Real way too high on dabs before a 4/20 show. Just fucking delightful.
