Hey, people in this thread!

If you are still listening to the same song you listened to in High School
then that is NOT a song you HAVE NOT listened to SINCE high school.

Your reading comprehension skills suck!

What does the comic state? It states: "songs you haven't listened to since High School".

If you're still listening to those songs then those songs don't apply. Get it?

My high school fav songs have aged far more gracefully.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Sure your favorite songs, but what about those that you haven't listened to since high school? Did those fare as well?

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Quite a few of them. Not all though.

[–] Sommopfle@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 83 points 1 day ago

Object.

Not funny.

Songs I listened to in high school remain excellent.

I think most people are pretty nostalgic for the music they liked during their formative years.

Sniffs

Nope, still good

What?? I would love to stumble across some forgotten songs from back then.

I didn't go to high school in the Stone Age haha

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Lol I guess I did. That's 90s music

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Guardians of the Galaxy resurrected that one for a lot of people.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I didn't know it was in GotG. Always been a big hit.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] mriormro@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Expiration dates are mere suggestions.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 1 points 20 hours ago

There's stuff in my playlist that probably wouldn't make it into my favourites today, if it weren't for the nostalgia. Like, they're alright songs, but they wouldn't knock me off my feet today.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah... One,two... princes kneel before you..

It's been a whole lot easier since bitch left town...

Replace "high school" with "you were 12" and then I agree.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly, the more I go back to songs I “didn’t like” or were “played too often and ruined” and sit down with a good pair of headphones to give them a real chance, I’m regularly surprised to find how much of the spirit was originally lost by listening to those songs always on the radio not of my own free will.

Good examples are things like Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap or Days Go By by Dirty Vegas.

They’re songs that have likely played in commercials or movies or just on the radio that now I can’t get enough of simply because I can hear all the extra sound in it now.

[–] themoken@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap is a damn solid album.

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honesty, the songs I didn't care for in HS I don't mind listening to them now. Probably nostalgia.

Some of the old hip hop was pretty homophobic.

The only problem I have with old songs, I work retail. The Muzak system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzak) repeats the same songs multiple times a day.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Me as a kid: Why do they only play old people music in stores?

Me recently: Hey I remember this! I love this song! No, wait-

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 1 points 20 hours ago

I have noticed they play some banging tunes at my local grocery store

Angst, ballin, and anger don't make for great memberberries. Can't listen to so much stuff I loved.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I still enjoy Limp Bizkit when I randomly hear them. lol

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago

I liked their ravey stuff. Keep on rollin', baby. You know what time it is...

Crunk music. Except for one song, i can't believe I used to like the genre. Me and my school friends loved crunk. It dawned on me that I can't criticise what children are listening to these days, when our music is just as bad if not worse.

I was in my early 20s in a fairly backward upper Midwestern city in the 00's. If you went out dancing and it wasn't the single punk/Goth club chances are they were pumping crunk/top 40 hip hop. If you weren't dancing to that, you weren't dancing.

You can do it, put your back into it.
