If there happens to be a certain kinda man of a much older age in your life who's a bit of a jerk and you wanna mess with him--at work, extended family, whatever--simply pretend to not know any of his favorite music.

You don't even have to really sell it. Just act baseline oblivious and nonchalant in response. Neutral in tone. Generous enough to sorta acknowledge this unimportant thing with tepid curiosity.

"Nope, I've never heard of Led Zeppelin."

"Dark Side of the Moon, you say? Is it on Spotify?"

"Brian Wilson. Cool. I'll check him out."

Act slightly surprised at his offense. Express a look of soft confusion, knitted eyebrows, as he attempts to tell you where you've probably heard the music he likes in other moments of iconic pop culture.

You know nothing about any of this, of course, and shake your head apologetically because you can tell how much it means to him.

"I'm sorry, I've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It sounds great, though."

"I know there was a Woodstock in the late '90s. Wait, was there one before that?"

"I had no idea Nancy Sinatra's father sings, too."

Stay strong. Hold the line. Don't break character.

Use his condescension to your advantage. The impulse to contextualize this thing that was so formative in his life will eventually collapse under the anxiety of his perceived missed swings at pop culture, and he will spiral into existential mania.

Sky's the limit. You can keep this going for minutes or days or years.

Happy trolling!

@RevolutApp account has been locked, have been on the chat assistant for 4 hours and no one has replied to me. Fed up so tried to close my account, and it won’t let me do that either. How exactly am I suppose to resolve this if I can’t get through to anyone!

That nation is Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

At what point I wonder does taking the piss out of someone because of their language and culture amount to racism? Prat.

You owe that young lady an apology. Let's see if you're man enough. @UMusicuk

RIP Coolio. Never forget his appearance on Irish daytime chatshow Open House, who, legend has it, booked him by mistake. They hadn't arranged backing dancers, so he made the middle-age production crew dress up and do it instead. Best TV ever.

I’ve been thinking about this piece for a year. There’s so much more I could say. The only thing that matters is that Martha should be alive today…
