STV - How Things Evolve or Disappear

I guess I should start calling it #SpreadTheVibe Sunday. On the day of rest, I love to take some time out to spread the vibe I got from a post during the course of the week.


What shook me most this week was being called a boomer, in kinder phrasing and archaic, both in reference to my choice of songs in the Tune Tune Train riddle and possibly the caveman reference.

Yes, I know that my taste in music is eclectic and reaches from a time when even I was not born till unknown legends of today such as Ren (who featured in last week's STV).

I will wear those names with honor, because I do take pride in the fact that after being into music for so long I am not stuck in my little corner of the musical universe but still exploring, just like Picard.

What I do wonder is how many Hivians will think of music when they see this:

That Flock of Seagulls post by @curatorcat.pal brought back musical memories.

A Flock Of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song

Damn that hair, I did not remember that at all, still, the song itself has stood the test of time in my book.

But I have to admit that things change, they evolve or get extinct like that hair.

A Flock Of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song (With the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra)

Seagulls evolved into stealing bastards

Those seagulls also evolved if you ask me.

Growing up near the sea we visited the beach frequently. Nowadays the news told me that people growing up near the beach have a higher risk of skin cancer, but when I grew up the ozone layer was still there to protect us (or so I hope to believe), that is how archaic I am.

I remember how humans would flock to the beach and take control of its sand on those sunny days. Then when the sun would set on the sea only loving couples would remain, all others would leave as it was dinner time in those Dutch homes.

As soon as people left the beach and the boardwalk on those dunes cleared the seagulls would turn up. Looking for whatever was left there, a bit of fish, leftover sandwiches, and maybe a plate of fries that was dropped in the sand.

Recently I returned to that same beach, the area has been flooded with food trucks and beach bars....and one more thing, huge Seagulls.

I don´t remember them being gigantic like that. I also don´t remember them showing up prior to humans leaving.

This is no joke, I have witnessed the same thing....a crazy bird dropping from the sky and stealing meat from my BBQ. A BBQ on fire does not stop the beast from grabbing whatever they like from the red-hot roster.

As I said things evolve or disappear, Seagulls have evolved thanks to humans providing them with an easy means of finding food.
And Flock of Seagulls evolved from man with hair, to man without hair that add layers of age to their performance.

When I am Old and Wise

May I end up as them, adding layers of knowledge to the music I share?
Boldly Going where most of us do not go because they simply think they lack time or knowledge. Let me be the ancient bridge connecting those undiscovered shores, that otherwise only Seagulls could have crossed.

Wow... everything sounds so ethereal. The flock of huge seagulls, your quest to reach the parts that are unknown by others. It's really beautiful to see.

Flocks of seagulls is a name I am just hearing for the first time. Listening to the songs gave me an adrenaline.. The beat and rhythm is amazing too. Oh yes, the hair on the guy in the first video looks strange to me and I was like, how did he do that? Though it looks beautiful on him.

Did I just read that those who grew up near the beach are prone to having cancer? How is that possible?

It´s a bit less straight forward they just published a report showing which areas in The Netherlands have what type of cancer and it fo one clearly showed that skin cancer related to sunbathing is a lot higher in the areas near the coast. Because the people there go to the beach more often.

The hair got me real good😂.

Fortunately (or should I say unfortunately), I learnt to sing such songs from my parents. It was basically all they used to sing when I was younger . I grew to love such songs. Thank you for the reminder @whywhy

Your welcome, for me this was an musical area I discovered much later, as my parents played 70s stuff and I myself did not really get into music since the 90s. But I do enjoy that real 80s vibe and sound

The songs that were made this time were rather peaceful and very relatable.

I am surprised at seeing some thing in this post, about people prone to having cancer for living around the sea mustn't be fact.

I have only seen flocks of seagulls in videos and I can tell that they are beauty on their own. Truly a lot of things have changed in the world we live today.

What is a fact? This is based on a Dutch a well funded and broadly carried out investigation done on what types of cancer are found in what part of the country. People living close to the beach were clearly showing higher numbers of skin cancer that0 could be related to sunbathing, for the simple reason they go to the beach more often. Which to me sounds very logical.

Beach sands causes skin cancer???
Never heard of it before!!
Apparently it's just been recently researched! And I know till date folks still do sun bathing... because they enjoy it! Seagulls in flock??... everything is really evolving quick...and even animals and sea creatures are been acquainted with humans!

No, not as such the fact that living near the beach causes people to do more sunbathing, and more sunbathing increases the chance of skin cancer. Thats why it clearly showed that the area near the beach had higher numbers where other types of cancer could be related to for example living near big industries

Evolution, such a trivial yet important thing.
Seagulls are thieves if you ask me though... Really robbers😂😂😂💔

Oh my gosh...giant seagulls! I know exactly what you mean. Like, have they evolved into giants or are these just a completely new species Gulls are complete scavengers... although it's fun to see them land on the beaches to grab morsels of food to swoop them out of people's hands, they can be such a pain too as they are getting very familiar with people and therefore quite brazen. Some great vibes that you've shared from YT.By oh my gosh those hairstyles !LOLZ And the hair is...gone! He looks much better post hair hehe. I dropped in from Dreemport this evening.
