    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.

    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.

    I’m 2023 I turned on the radio for the first time in years and the DJ says “now for a throwback song, Thrift Shop by Macklemore” and that made me (1) feel old because that song came out while I was in college, and (2) realize the song was over 10 years old at that point.

    I’m 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don’t become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.

    I like '90s music (it’s my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things “back in their day” are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.
