We knew it was going to happen.
We’re in the year of our Lord 2025 and the Grammys can’t stop giving awards to boomer-core bands. The Beatles, who released “Now And Then” this past year, won Best Rock Performance, beating out the likes of Green Day, Pearl Jam, and St. Vincent. For Best Rock Album, the Rolling Stones won out with their forgetful twenty-fourth studio record, Hackney Diamonds. The Stones beat out the likes of Fontaines DC, Green Day, Jack White, and Pearl Jam.
Boomers win again. Fontaines DC loses out because the Grammys can’t ever be forward-thinking. Green Day loses out because why bother giving it to a band that produced an excellent, relevant record. Pearl Jam loses because of course they did.
