If I Was 17 Again

If I was much younger I'd be well into the whole Rock/Rave thing. Or at least I think I would.

I kind of like it but I think my ears are too old. It's a bit like that mosquito thing that only teens can hear. I like moments of it in short bursts but it's too noisy for my delicate eardrums.

The music and the fashion borrows stuff from a load of other things I like. But it feels like it's managed to become a new thing in its own right. And that's important for 17 year olds right?

I shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere near it. It's their time now. And I'm not going to spoil it for them by pretending to be into it. But if I was 'into it' I'd like this:
