One of the wonderful things about being a Gen X'er. Music from my high school years is still fucking awesome.

This reminds me of having the opposite experience, hearing a Joni Mitchell song I probably hadn't heard in 15 years - she had been a favorite musician of my gf's way back when. The opening notes took me straight back in time - mentally I was heading over to her place, feeling that same age, feeling all the same feelings. Very surreal experience. This was the first time I realized how much rich detail we store in our brains. It was like I had quantum-leaped back into my teenage body. I listened to some more Joni Mitchell songs to recapture the effect, but it got weaker every time - by a lot - the dropoff was very distinct.
Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.
It's only around the edges that I've trimmed. I listen to basically the same stuff, plus more now.
Joke's on you, my music taste hasn't changed since elementary school, i was and will always be an emo
It amazes me how, relative to the average individual, I am the same as I was when I was young. and im way different.
People are often poor judges about how they've changed, because it's difficult to be objective about yourself. I've had friends' personalities do a complete 180 and they'll tell me "I haven't changed at all, actually".
Yeah I mean even external superficial things. Like I still dress kinda the same and my hair is the same and such. I could be wrong about my personality. Certainly the internet has made me much less focused but that seems to be everybody.
And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. "Ok, this is just noise."

Well now I have to go listen to Sex On Wheelz by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, damn it.
I was bored and looking for something to do on the weekend, and found cheap tickets to see Sheryl Crow and Pink (headlining) live. Honestly one of the best shows I've even seen. The "don't give a fuck" vibe mixed with the professionalism of a 30 year career, just all the energy I wanted.
They both have newer albums, but I've had their high-school bangers on a lot lately.
Kanye and MF Doom. Not related.
