can’t relate at all
lol this is so much better
Same
Object.
Not funny.
Songs I listened to in high school remain excellent.
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
Because I forgot. I have started listening to them again after 15 years and they are still awesome.
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.

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.
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.
I didn’t go to high school in the Stone Age haha
Lol I guess I did. That’s 90s music
Hey, I grew up in the 90s. That shit still rocks.
KORN begs to differ at 40
Yeahhh, certainly nothing from the 90s looks cringe now.

(Bloodhound gang)
Are you saying bloodhound gang doesn’t rock?!
But that’s joke music anyway, it was weird and kind of embarrassing to listen to when it was new.
That weird cringe is their whole shtick.
If it’s good enough for the umbrella academy it’s good enough for me
Sorry, I’ll stick with most bloodhound gang forever, especially as a comedy group. Hooray for boobies fucking rocks, sans a few talking tracks.
Cringe was the point of the Bloodhound Gang.
Yup, totally, except that drove some of us away.
Story time! I can vividly remember a co-worker of mine at the time, a 6 foot 4 inch tall, 260 pound dude, pelvic-thrusting madly in my direction, while singing that song. He loved it, he loved how not PC they were – I didn’t. He made sure to remind me of that fact very often. It was all just for fun, but yah, not my thing.
Not really something I would listen to either, but they were intentionally cringey, unlike some other 90s music (e.g. Korn)
Eh, I’ll still listen to em. Hollywood Undead is still my favorite boy band too. Also system of a down was my lawn mowing playlist and I will fight any motherfucker who says they haven’t held up.
They’re my workout music. Aside from being very vulgar, it’s adrenaline rock all day long.
I don’t watch music usually. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
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.
Nope, still good
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.
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
Turns out the bling bling era is actually okay.
Yeah… One,two… princes kneel before you…
That’s what I said now
It’s been a whole lot easier since bitch left town…
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
“because old people run them”
Dude. I worked retail back in the aughts, and when I go in stores today, I still hear many of the same songs from back then
I thought Imagine Dragons was a band I’d never heard until I checked out some of their songs and realized I’ve actually heard them a million times … always in grocery stores shopping at night.
There are different channels. The stores you’re going into are playing that music by choice, often to cater to specific demographics. You wouldn’t expect, say, a skateboard shop to play classical, just as you wouldn’t expect a greeting card store to play death metal. I remember when the hardware store I worked in switched from instrumental to music with lyrics.
I would happily shop at a greeting card store that played death metal — and I don’t even like death metal.
I’m mostly referring to clothes stores
Ugh, I’ve always hated the lyric free versions of songs that played in the JC Penny (?) clothing section my mother used to drag me to.
Huh, that’s a really interesting collection. Thanks for the link!
lol
At least when I worked retail it was at chocolate world, so just candy related songs (or Xmas), and then macys, so poppier than I’d normally listen to (and again, Xmas)
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.
This is a dumb picture… there is nothing wrong with old songs… they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today
