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.
can’t relate at all
lol this is so much better
Same
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.
This is a dumb picture… there is nothing wrong with old songs… they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today
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.
Replace “high school” with “you were 12” and then I agree.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah… One,two… princes kneel before you…
It’s been a whole lot easier since bitch left town…
That’s what I said now
Nope, still good
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”
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)
