    This is a dumb picture… there is nothing wrong with old songs… they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Most of the music I haven’t listened to since highschool are joke music: Stephen lynch, amateur transplants, avenue q (I lied I went to see it since high school) and youtube joke music james@war, Mister safety, cows with guns. I don’t listen to it, I do sing a lot of it still though.

    There’s some stuff too emo for me in there: Automatic Loveletter. Some edgy music: Bolt thrower. Also, “you wouldn’t know 'em” music: My Only Danger. The lost of “I don’t want to listen to”, but the list of “it’s not really available to listen to” is smaller… But mostly humourous music that hasn’t aged well or I played to death.

    Like everyone else I carried a lot of my highschool music with me and just kept adding as I grew.

    Nah, I had great taste, I still listen to Pink Floyd. The only thing that has happened over the ages is I’ve become more open to different kinds of music, where I was more closed minded when young.

      I suppose the thing would be songs that you listened to back then but stopped listening to. So in your case, pink floyd wouldn’t count because it has staying power and you kept listening, rather than “you haven’t listened to since high school”.

      If you randomly pick some billboard hits of the time that you haven’t heard in a while, you realize why no one has played it in a while despite you listening when it was new.

      Music of the (insert decade) is generally better than music of today largely by virtue of having a decade to choose from, versus picking over the most recent year or two

        That’s a really good point. The most of the crap that was played in the 80s didn’t make it into the “top 100 songs of the 80s” list, hence what’s left over today is not the crap.

    Let’s see… Metallica, Testament, Saxon, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, the offspring, bloodhound gang, Eminem, Dynamite Deluxe, die absoluten Beginner… Those are the ones that immediately come to mind. I’m fine with that. Still listen to a lot of those today.

    I still have a soft spot for my high school playlists. Its still not making to my frequently played lists, but its worth a stop every couple months
