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.
Sure your favorite songs, but what about those that you haven't listened to since high school? Did those fare as well?
Quite a few of them. Not all though.
Object.
Not funny.
Songs I listened to in high school remain excellent.
This is a dumb picture... there is nothing wrong with old songs.... they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today
I think most people are pretty nostalgic for the music they liked during their formative years.
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
Lol I guess I did. That's 90s music
Guardians of the Galaxy resurrected that one for a lot of people.
I didn't know it was in GotG. Always been a big hit.
Hey, I grew up in the 90s. That shit still rocks.
KORN begs to differ at 40
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.
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.
Honesty, the songs I didn't care for in HS I don't mind listening to them now. Probably nostalgia.
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.
Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap is a damn solid album.
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.
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.
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.
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-
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.
I still enjoy Limp Bizkit when I randomly hear them. lol
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.
Yeah-eah!
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.
This comes back to the problem with old music: music didn't get worse, you just remember the good or memorable songs. At any point since the Billboard charts have been created 70% of them is dross, 20% is mediocre, maybe 10% is good. Everybody remembers the good songs that survive because they are good, and some of the mediocre songs people relate to. Everybody forgets the dross.
But back then, that was what you listened to as well.
(Check out, e.g. the Billboard hot 100 for 1968 (or even just Hot 20): it had Hey Jude at position 1, Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay on 3, and Mrs Robinson on 9, but it also had, let's see... 18 was Grazing in the Grass by Hugh Masekela (which is good but it's a trumpet instrumental), 2 was Love is Blue by Paul Mauriat (a schmaltzy melody, but it's the second hottest song if 1968), and 7 is This Guy's in Love with you by Herb Alpert)
(And you can do that with basically every year. I graduated in 2004, so what do we have there? Usher's Yeah on 1 (I remember that), Usher's Burn on 2 (no clue), Maroon 5 on 4 (this is one of those bands everybody seems to have struck out of their memory), Hey Ya by Outcast on 8, but their The Way you Move on 5 (definitely not a mainstay I would say), Nickelback is 17 (another band everybody pretends never to have listened to), but Twista's Slow Jamz is 16 (who?) )
