    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.

      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.

      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

        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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
