Name names
One of the wonderful things about being a Gen X’er. Music from my high school years is still fucking awesome.
It says “high school”, why are you all talking about songs from the 2010s?
…oh no…
Sometimes you open that bin and it turns out it’s still good.
Yeah I was going to say, I had pretty good taste then. Most of this stuff kept pretty damn well.
And then they’re stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.
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.
We listened to the music despite Axl being too high/drunk to actually play most of his concerts. One wouldn’t have throught he could go downhill from there, but here we are.
Such a shame about the lyrics bc it’s a great tune otherwise
Ya’ll don’t like Voltaire and P Diddy anymore? /s
Well, there’s a random combo if I ever heard one.
For me personally those two bring the most cringe value when I suddenly hear them again.
Voltaire is cool, but it just seems a little juvenile now.
I think if Voltaire took himself seriously, then he would be cringe, but it’s clear that he doesn’t.
Some people don’t think that humor belongs in music, and that’s okay. But it’s kind of like calling Weird Al cringe. It makes me think that you don’t understand the artist.
Weird Al doesn’t sing about undead teddy bears, vampires, and the beast of pirates bay. Weird Al sings about being fat, discount groceries, and being stuck in the drive through.
I honestly don’t know what point you’re making here.
You don’t think he’s funny, and that makes you cringe? Okay.
Tastes are subjective and you’re in here questioning the validity of my taste. Perhaps it is you who needs to take a step back, assess your stance, and fuck off.
Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.
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.
I’m the opposite. I go back to high school music and still love it. Better than most things I hear.
Fr, old me had really good taste for music, probably better taste than current me, but I like the weird stuff I listen to now more.
This presupposes there is some music you stopped listening to after high school, Im with you, I still listen to a bunch of that stuff. Some not as often as others, but it brings back memories. I was a metal head though and there was a lot of great 90s metal.
Idk why ppl say the music doesn’t hold up. Foo fighters still rock even though Dave gohl a PoS.
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
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.
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?
I listened to a lot of somewhat niche cringiest punk and red dirt country bands (odd combo i know but I was a confused teen) in high-school. Like bands that no one 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 one. You’re right about one thing my music tastes changed drastically
It’s only around the edges that I’ve trimmed. I listen to basically the same stuff, plus more now.
Authentic pirate hip hop is not nearly as bad as it sounds
Pirate Metal is pretty fun occasionally too.
Saw Alestorm and that was crazy cool.
Welp - down the rabbit hole I go!
BROADSIDE! BROADSIDE! Navy boys better run and hide These cannon balls flyin’ atcha when we collide All me mateys be ready to fire a broadside
Hit you with my chasers while you running for your life
Bout to fuck you ship up just like I fucked your wife
Spritsail topsail rigged so you know I got the power
My ship’s the Victory and yours is Mayflower
