    Maybe stuff from middle school - sophmore year of high school. By junior and senior year I definitely evolved my musical taste. Definitely bands I still listen to somewhat frequently like Pavement, Wilco and Yo La Tengo as well as stuff i haven’t heard in 20 years but doesn’t make me cringe like Deathcab for Cutie, Taking Back Sunday and Brand New. On the other hand middle school self loving My Chemical Romance (super early in their career) yeah that makes me cringe and I would not enjoy whatso ever today.

      Took a ride by a police station. Seemed like something do. Heard a voice saying what are you trying to prove.

      I thought about it an hour. I thought about it a minute. I thought about it weeks on end. I couldn’t decide.

    Been listening to a lot of breakdowns of intro guitar riffs and synths from ‘80s and some ‘70s music. That shit is still awesome, especially seeing as so much of it was still brand new and experimental with the electronic side. Really hits the nostalgia button hard, though.

      My dentist plays a '70s soft rock channel. It’s really impressive how good the production is on that stuff, and people could actually legitimately sing! No autotune or melodyne in sight.

    I think you’re confusing the nostalgia of other people.

    Most people are very fond and attached to their own personal nostalgia.

    But most often are not familiar or even don’t understand other people’s nostalgia.

      What I didn’t expect was the nostalgia hit I get now for all of the hip hop and r&b the frats were playing in college

    This is a dumb picture… there is nothing wrong with old songs… they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today

    When I was a kid I discovered Poison the Well and Thursday. Which led me down a rabbit hole, and I never turned back. I still listen to and love those bands as well as a lot of heavy music.

    I think the biggest difference between old me and young me is that I’m not afraid to like music people think is bad. My friends at the time were very disinterested in screaming.

          Ah man, the nostalgia.

          One year for the New Year’s Eve show, they had us vote on what to play at midnight. Naturally, we picked Jet Black New Year. But that song’s quite a downer, so the band played its sequel, Tomorrow I’ll Be You, right afterwards. That way we got to end the concert on a more positive note (and with an extra song.) I was so hyped up, I’ll never forget it.

      yeah, but you probably kept listening to those. if you hadn’t listened to it “since high school” there would likely be some reason you stopped

        Indeed… you have a point here.

        There were a ton of spoiled songs popular when I was in high school but no, I never listened to them and I surely wouldn’t have allowed them into my fridge.
