Adrenaline by Shinedown. Thought it was super epic sounding back then
I begeth your pardon?
1990s Alternative Rock is peak.
If you have listened to it since your high school days…it doesn’t fit into the comic’s category.
How many people really enjoying “keep rollin rollin rollin rollin” by limp bizkit nowadays?
Yes! Thank you. I mainly listen to music I listened to as a teen/young adult.
I believe that’s true of most people since the invention of recorded music.
Honestly not relatable for me, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve always been into finding new music, but 80-90% of what I listened to in school (2-3 decades ago) is still fire
There’s the odd bit of cringe in there (maybe some of the stuff from my nu metal era), but I can’t really knock my diet of Massive Attack, NIN, Chemical Brothers, The Smiths, Franz Ferdinand and Gatecrasher compilations. I’d still listen to any of it today
Good music stays in my rotation. If I haven’t listened to it since high school, it’s for a reason.
Throw in some goth and you’d almost be me. Franz is post punk revival so very solid. 80s and 90s had a ton of great industrial and electronic. 1995 KMFDM released juke joint jezabell on NIHIL. Still love it. Orbital, fluke, moby. Zero regrets.
Yeah, similar here.
In my head those songs are “cringe” or I imagine they won’t be great bend listening again…
Then I ring one up and am immediately head banging like “yo, is this even better than when I first listened?”
Same bro
Same but I can take zero credit for my taste, I had online friends with great taste in music.
🎶 Hey, don’t write yourself off yet, it’s only in your head you feel let down, or looked down on 🎶
IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME
I still think The Middle is a banger
It’s a slightly less annoying version of Pharell’s “Happy” to my ear.
It’s not only in my head I feel let down or looked down on, and “trying my best” ain’t gonna cut it in this economy. 🤣
Wow really? I honestly thought a large percentage of people only ever listen to stuff they heard in high school and college for the rest of their lives like it defined them.
I try my hardest to give new stuff a listen. I like music a lot so its enjoyable, but it does get harder the older I get to keep up. Theres something amazing for every genre if you look hard enough.
I’m constantly finding music that I love…
But I do notice that most of it was released around the time we’re talking about.
Yeah its the soundtrack to when life didnt suck.
Tap for spoiler
Spoiler edit! Not your life. I know your life always sucked. I know you cant relate to having even a single pleasant memory. No need to turn it into a pity party. Move on.
Why does music have to relate to a time when life didn’t suck for it to mean the most? If anything I think most of the music people listened to in high school was emotional and an outlet for people who were trying to find who they were. Plenty of those people were probably more angry then than they are now.
I like life, no issues with it. I probably enjoyed it more 20 years ago then I do now, but I have hopes things will be better in the next few years. Not everyone on Lemmy hates everything.
It’s more like an exciting time of life where radical changes in our thinking are occurring and who are to be is being set. Not only do I still love “my” music, I have mostly the same sexual tastes. I’ll be in the nursing home jerkin’ it to Metallica and tiny tittie porn.
I still listen to the killers and foster the people proudly thank you very much
I still find songs i used to listen when i was in high school great.
Generally speaking, I remember reading that people usually like the music from when they were young.

Not the article I was thinking of, but same idea.

Why music from our teens stays with us forever
The music we listen to during this period has greater lasting impact than songs in later life because of a psychological phenomenon called the reminiscence bump.
Our memories define who we are and shape our sense of identity, but they are not evenly distributed throughout our life.
We have fewer memories from birth to about eight-years-old, while at the other end of the scale our minds can easily recall memories that happened most recently, although this does decline with age.
However, researchers have found there is a key age between the ages of 10 to 30-years-old when the reminiscence bump applies, meaning our memories have a particular affinity for recalling events.
The reminiscence bump happens for everything – our favourite books, films, sports stars and music, but evidence suggests music features most highly because musical memories are stored in a ‘safe’ area of the brain which is more resilient and protected against age related conditions.
She found there is a consistently reliable peak in both memory and preference for music people listened to during their teenage years.
Even when working with people in their eighties she found their strongest musical memories take them back to their youths.
It’s not necessarily when the music was released that is relevant but rather the time frame during which the music was important to an individual.
One theory for why this happens is that our minds undergo an intense and rapid phase of development during our teenage years and early twenties so our budding brains and memory systems are at their peak absorbing as much information about the world as they can.
“reminiscence bump” sounds incredibly pseudosciencey but scientists have never been great at naming things so…
This is true for movies most of the time but false for music most of the time.
I liked lost prophets after listening them in need for speed ☠️
My brother and I are rap fans and we both agree that crunk music aged so badly. I question myself as to what was I thinking at the time.
I will forever associate crunk with like 2 minute appearance of ‘The Crunk Clown’ on the show Flavor of Love.
I had the realization recently that the songs I listened to in highschool are older now than the songs we called “Oldies” when I was in highschool were at the time. Took some psychic damage from that one.
So… you just had to send out that psionic blastwave, huh? If I had listened to 40-yo music, it would have been from the 1940s. Yikes.
My gf and I were sitting around with dad and stepmom in the early 90s, “That’s old 80s music.” They looked at each other stunned for a sec and started laughing at us.
Still listening to the stuff I listened to in high school. Even more so since I understand it now. But before high school I listened to Limp Bizkit.
My teenage favourites are all still in my library. My wife is still forced to listen to all my music (driver always chooses music).
Have to agree with the wife. I would also get out of the car.
Bizkit got a couple of songs I listen to still that are okay. The song “Boiler” and “it’ll be Okay” are actually good. He also does a cover of behind blues eyes, and it isn’t the best or worst. There is another. Rolling and break stuff I listen to for my kid to spaz out with a car ride of head banging.
(Also, break stuff is good. Everyone has felt that rage before.)
Limp Bizkits “Behind Blue Eyes” is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst cover in the history of rock music.
It is not something I cry about when I skip it. I just let it play cause, eh, the dude enjoyed singing it.
I can have a conversation over it, put it like that.
In fairness you could cover Behind Blue Eyes with an out of tune kazoo and still end up with an okay end product
Ha! Now that would be a jam.
“Huh, a lot more homophobia than I remember…”
Also how overtly homoerotic alot of the homophobia was. Those rappers must be deep in the closet.
one rappers song was entirely dedicated to and named “ass f@#$ song”. One of the lines was about how buttholes look like stars. How the rapper is gonna ass f@#$ (male) haters and enjoying it in detailed description. included (fake) moaning.
another punk band stated in a song that their friends are doing themselves in the butt and questioning jokingly if that’s even legal.
Fun times honestly and might have helped to normalize the taboo topic somehow. Look your idols are talking about doing gay stuff, can’t be that bad the right?
Most of what I liked back then still kicks ass. I wish I still had my old playlists because I lost my entire local media collection around 2012.
Just not the religious stuff, fuck that shit and the horse it rode in on.
Am I stupid? Wtf does “11-year average” mean here? Like I get the graph but that label is not making sense to me at all.
The y values of the dots of of the current year, the five years before and the five years after are added and divided by 11 to determine the line’s y value
I imagine this just applies to those who are only exposed to new music through commercial radio, or similar. If you take the time and effort to seek out new music from other places, you’ll find plenty that you enjoy. Most people just don’t bother, and then complain when the stuff on the radio changes over the years.
“Get off my lawn!”
Just made a comment about this! That’s a perfect backup for my take on this.
