A local rock dog has today expressed outrage at the Triple J Hottest 100 results, after discovering the top ten wasn’t exclusively made up of guitar-driven anthems from his youth.
Despite not even voting, Rod McKillop, 59, has taken personal grievances to results that randomly popped up on his Facebook feed this morning.
As the same kind of bloke who kicks off whenever the NRL halftime show dares to feature anyone other than Jimmy Barnes or AC/DC, Rod was left ‘absolutely fuming’ when he discovered The Veronicas’ pop banger Untouched landed at number three.
“The Veronicas!? I don’t even know who they are”, he’d spat, immediately honing in on the one song he couldn’t recognise, “Triple J’s gone woke.”
Though the majority of the top ten songs are from his generation, Rod seems intent on spending more time complaining about the pop duo making it to number three, than the fact that multiple generations voted INXS’s ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ as the number one Australian song of all time.
And though Rod reckons the younger generation has ‘stupid taste in music’, the Triple J results showed that the 18-29 demographic had the biggest turnout, and appear to quite like songs from the 80s to early 2000s.
But Rod is still mad that the top ten wasn’t exclusively pub rock bands from the 80s.
“Midnight Oil was robbed.”
More to come.
