I'm certainly not a new wave fan, but I can't recall any sort of music that I thought was as bland, boring, and predictably monotonous as disco. I dislike rap intensly, but even rap has at least some originality from time to time, and whatever else it may be, it's hard to call it 'boring'.

>>The 80s weren't so bad. At least disco was pretty much dead by then.

>>>No badmouthing the 80's please! :) Yes, there were bad movies, strange hair cuts and awful clothing but you don't get a second shot at being a teenager, do ya? :D

So I just vegged out on the couch some more, and was subjected to this piece of cinema trash. I was creating limericks in the third grade that were better than Cruise's bartender poetry. Cruise has come full circle - he started out making idiotic films, and now his life is an idiotic film.
