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.
Man, these songs are crawling in my skin, these wounds, they will not heal.
One of the wonderful things about being a Gen X’er. Music from my high school years is still fucking awesome.
Nah, I still fuck with Skinny Puppy and Bauhaus.
Well now I have to go listen to Sex On Wheelz by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, damn it.
I still love everything I listened to in highschool, except One in a Million by GNR.
Such a shame about the lyrics bc it’s a great tune otherwise
Dunno what kind of meh you listened to in high school. Iron Maiden, Queen, In Flames, Ozzy, Dream Theater and At the Gates still slaps the shit.
Idk there are still quite a few artists and songs i can listen to from when I was in high school
There are also quite a few that I can’t listen to anymore. Guess it really depends
Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. “Ok, this is just noise.”
Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college: “FUCK YEAH!”
Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.
And then they’re stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
Speak for yourself, I’ve still got a running list of early morning songs that’d play on the school bus radio from highschool.
My first musical physical media purchase was Backstreet Boys, but the rest after wasn’t cringe, I swear!
My first album was a cassette dub of License to Ill my friend made in elementary school. My first purchase was Even Worse by Weird Al.
That’s the best first I’ve ever heard. My first tape was Cruisin’ Classics, which was free with a tank of gas from Shell. Thanks mom!
Only because the passage of time declared Backstreet Boys to be no longer a cringe!
They still make me cringe. But now it’s classic cringe.
Oh, Backstreets back alright.
Just wait until you taste “Songs You Recorded in High School” 😬
Most (but not all) music has something to recommend it. If you don’t like entire eras of music it’s not because the music is “bad,” it’s because it’s not to your taste anymore (or, for stuff you didn’t listen to, never was).
Much like with food, if you can find what makes a particular genre enjoyable and listen for that, you can enjoy a lot more. I would never listen to Taylor Swift the same way I listen to Rush or Pink Floyd, but I still loved Midnights. I wouldn’t listen to Bach the same way I listen to Nightwish, but they’re both fantastic.
There’s nothing wrong with being discerning in your tastes. But there’s also nothing wrong with the styles of music you don’t like, it’s just a different flavor. I don’t like cilantro and never will, but I understand why people do. And I didn’t like coffee until I learned how to taste it properly. The same is true of music.
I listened to a lot of somewhat niche cringet punk and red dirt country bands (odd combo i know but I was a confused teen) in high-school. Like bands that know on has heard of, no I’m not bragging these bands were just that awful. But I was young and HAD to be different and some of the songs would make me cringe so hard now that my soul may leave my body if listened to. You’re right about one thing my music tastes changed drastically
Our names be similar like whaaaat
You’re not the first fellow TheReal<Something> I’ve found in the wild, but it always makes me do a double-take. 😃
Where’s the real Slim Shady? Can he please stand up? Please stand up? Please stand up?
