Once you get into a heart of a teen, you remain there for the rest of his life. Many bands well past their peak have a revival of private bookings now, as people who were teens back then become rich people who can book a band for a party.

- pvaldes 2y agoBoth. There are a lot of fascinating women in music also. But is a valid point
- Gettingolderev 2y agoHe wrote it from his perspective. come on...
- verisimi 2y agoHe says "a teen". It's just incorrect grammar. He could have said 'his or her heart' or 'their heart', but not every teen is a 'he'.
- FredPret 2y agoStill entirely possible it’s from his perspective.
- marcuskane2 2y agoInterestingly, when I was in school, we were taught that "he" could be used both for male or for gender-neutral usages. The shift to treating he/him/his as exclusively male seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon (last few decades) as American social progressives sought to change language to be explicitly-inclusive instead of implicitly-inclusive and to avoid confusion due to the context-dependent dual meaning of such words. 1970s - "he" means everyone 1990s - "he/she" means everyone 2020s - "they" means everyone
- kanbara 2y agothis is also occurring in a tonne of european languages: german, french, spanish, italian, etc. it's progressives and people who care for others, not just americans. as is well studies, we know very concretely how language and word usage influences thought (because it is thought, expressed)
- lupire 2y agoExplicitly exclusive is another way of saying implicitly inclusive. Kind of a wild take to ignore centuries of implicit and explicit exclusion of women from having civil rights.
- HideousKojima 2y ago"His" is entirely grammatically correct, even if he was speaking about teens in a general sense, both male and female.
- kanbara 2y agoit may be grammatically correct, but it is still exclusionary. i don't know why people fight so hard to just simply not include others
- HideousKojima 2y agoNot at all, it includes women too.
- dleink 2y agoWhile not grammatically incorrect[0], it is stylistically incorrect, unless the writing style you're going for is "jerk". [0] Major sources (MLA, CMos) have made nongendered pronouns suggested
- HPsquared 2y agoThis is also how the classic car market works.
