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.
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.
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.
Replace “high school” with “you were 12” and then I agree.
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.
Some of the old hip hop was pretty homophobic.
Reggae too, particularly dance hall
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-
“because old people run them”
I have noticed they play some banging tunes at my local grocery store
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
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’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.
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.
Huh, that’s a really interesting collection. Thanks for the link!

Yeah… One,two… princes kneel before you…
That’s what I said now
It’s been a whole lot easier since bitch left town…
Nope, still good
Somehow, the greatest music ever made is always from your senior year of high school.
just the brain doing its thing
Musical preferences tend to form in late adolescence and persist throughout adulthood. Music heard during childhood and adolescence creates more durable memories than music heard at other ages. The music we listen to during our early teens creates a strong sense of nostalgia in later years.
pretty certain its same reason why if you’re going to learn a language its best to start early
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.
Angst, ballin, and anger don’t make for great memberberries. Can’t listen to so much stuff I loved.
