    I’m in my 40s, and last time when I was at McD I saw some 20-somethings sitting at their table, looking at the liner notes of an AC/DC CD they had no doubt grabbed from the second hand store one block over.

    I almost went over to say “oh wow, am I ever happy to see you kids enjoy classical music, eh?” but I didn’t, because this is Finland and talking to random people at McD is considered weird, of course.

    I mean, yeah, it’s retro music now. And in my opinion is best played on a retro Sony Discman with appropriate retro headphones. I mean, how else can I best enjoy my For Squirrels CD or Blues Traveler or Local H or… you get the point!

    Only problem is the fact my discman is a battery hog.

      Anyone listening to 90s music today will miss out on an important element that is lost today: the CD skips.

        Had to look up CD skips to be sure we were thinking of the same thing. Pretty sure you can emulate that using a similar setup to what I have: a portable LG USB disc drive and VLC. IDK if this is a me issue specifically, but VLC loves to cause the first few seconds of any song on CD to skip when using that portable disk drive of mine.

    They were playing Viva La Vida in the grocery store. I’m like… Okay, grocery store, I get you’re trying to “cater to my demographic” since we’re the “new olds” who now regularly shop for produce, but who the fuck thought Viva La Vida was a good “millennial shopper” music choice for picking out produce and scrutinizing cereal boxes? I died inside. Sacrilegious.

    I’ve accepted hearing rhcp on the classic rock radio station. You can be old, it’s ok. You can’t fight time, but you can damn sure remain immature AF!

    Hell, I’m just glad some of the 90’s stuff managed to make it to that status.

    Smells Like Teen Spirit is 35 years old. It’s was incredibly hot at the time, but it felt like a gibberish song. I figured by the time I hit my 50’s/60’s it would just have been looked at as some crazy bullshit.

    Lmao, I once had a group of students excitedly tell me about this retro band they found, “the backstreet boys”. I wasn’t even 30.
