I'm pretty sure that in 50 or whatever years time, people will still know what people listened to. With every generation it's more documented. (And personally i just want to get euthanized before it comes to that).

[(Anonymous)]

That's pretty short-sighted. Most people, regardless of generation, are aware of what their parents and grandparents listened to. Green Day is popular enough, and spans a broad enough time-frame that you wouldn't be considered a snowflake in your dotage for having strong emotional associations with them.

That said, I feel you on your B!S. Dementia is a particular phobia of mine, and especially because of the fact-from-fiction element. I am seriously terrified of that.

[(Anonymous)]

Awww, nonny. If you can distinguish fact from fiction without dementia, you are already doing better than a large portion of the population!

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

The only way Green Day will be totally forgotten is if World War 3 happens. If that happens, you'll probably be dead before you hit dementia.

[feotakahari]

I'm reminded of Robert Cormier's sorrow that no one remembers the life-changingly great music of Bunny Berigan.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think Green Day is THAT obscure, nonny.

[ninety6tears]

Yeah, I would like to think any band that has a semi-consistent 15+ years of being active will not be totally forgotten by the time I'm old.

[kamino_neko]

semi-consistent 15+ years of being active

20+ years - Dookie came out in early 1994.

Exactly 30 years, if you include the 8 years before they got that album out. (... Huh. Actually, this post went up on the 30th anniversary of their first performance, according to wiki. Hell of a coincidence, that, unless Case did it on purpose.)

[ninety6tears]

(I FEEL OLD.)

[(Anonymous)]

If I've heard of it, it's definitely not obscure!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh come on! It's secret because it's icky GREEN DAY.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I really don't think Green Day's so obscure that they'll be forgotten by the time you're old. The secret makes me a little sad though. I work with people who have severe mental handicaps and their families always let us know what kind of music they like and it's always a delight to play something like, say, Demi Lovato and see a client suddenly start jamming to the music. God forbid it ever happens, but if you do end up with dementia, hopefully you'll have people who'll inform your caretakers of the type of music you like.

[(Anonymous)]

I know the bands my parents like. I'm sure the next generation of kids will too.

And I hear Green Day on the radio all the time.

[(Anonymous)]

Of all the 90s bands you could have chosen to base this secret around, you picked Green Day, a band that still gets significant significant airplay today. If the only music that made you happy was by Mr. Big, or Snow, or Surface or something, then you might have a problem.

[(Anonymous)]

I also work with elderly people, but also some in their 50s 60s with early-onset dementia. They love the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and lots of music from that era (and one loves disco!), and staff ask their families what music they like. Sometimes they can't recognise their children and grandchildren, but they can still talk about concerts from their youth.

I suspect once you get to that stage, they'll have Green Day for you.

What about other music?

[(Anonymous)]

You wrote usually religious, but what about Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, etc.

My mom, despite growing up going to church, if she ever deteriorated in that manner, would probably be much more likely to respond to Frank Sinatra, 60s musical soundtracks, or Johnny Mercer. My dad, on the other hand, would be probably be more likely to respond to The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, or Frankie Valley. The music people connect to as a child (which often is something their parents listened to) and as a teen/young adult seems to stick with people.

Green Day is not obscure and even one-hit wonders from seven decades ago are still being played. Though, you know, if your music era is 90s, you might get Alanis Morissette or REM (or fricking EMF - Unbelievable seems to be on every 90s compilation ever) played at you first. But you know there are definitely going to be people playing My Heart Will Go On in another fifty or sixty years.

[kaleidoscope]

I would guess that OP doesn't have supporting family to know what musical tastes they like. That's what I fear for me, I have two brothers but unless iPod's still exist 20-30 years from now, they aren't going to know my exact musical memories.

My mother has vascular dementia. Recently the nursing home is working on a pilot program with a nearby university to play music catered to the resident's preferences so they can be played when the resident is in a sundowner type of moment. I'm so fascinated in the study and I hope it takes off. Because medication messes with chemistry but music is the universal constant.

You try and get them to play Arashi for you when you live in a tiny european country!
