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
This is a dumb picture... there is nothing wrong with old songs.... they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today
What?? I would love to stumble across some forgotten songs from back then.
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.
Hey, I grew up in the 90s. That shit still rocks.
KORN begs to differ at 40
Yeahhh, certainly nothing from the 90s looks cringe now.

(Bloodhound gang)
Are you saying bloodhound gang doesn't rock?!
But that's joke music anyway, it was weird and kind of embarrassing to listen to when it was new.
That weird cringe is their whole shtick.
If it’s good enough for the umbrella academy it’s good enough for me
Sorry, I'll stick with most bloodhound gang forever, especially as a comedy group. Hooray for boobies fucking rocks, sans a few talking tracks.
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.
Replace "high school" with "you were 12" and then I agree.
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.
Honesty, the songs I didn't care for in HS I don't mind listening to them now. Probably nostalgia.
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.
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.
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
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.
I listened to a lot of nightcore growing up. That's something I don't ever want to go back to.
Maybe stuff from middle school - sophmore year of high school. By junior and senior year I definitely evolved my musical taste. Definitely bands I still listen to somewhat frequently like Pavement, Wilco and Yo La Tengo as well as stuff i haven't heard in 20 years but doesn't make me cringe like Deathcab for Cutie, Taking Back Sunday and Brand New. On the other hand middle school self loving My Chemical Romance (super early in their career) yeah that makes me cringe and I would not enjoy whatso ever today.
Let's see... Metallica, Testament, Saxon, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, the offspring, bloodhound gang, Eminem, Dynamite Deluxe, die absoluten Beginner... Those are the ones that immediately come to mind. I'm fine with that. Still listen to a lot of those today.
Somehow, the greatest music ever made is always from your senior year of high school.
Angst, ballin, and anger don't make for great memberberries. Can't listen to so much stuff I loved.
