he’s listening old music
2006 - 07
I guess this is how my dad felt the first time he heard REO Speedwagon on the oldies station.

wait until you hear someone describe Nirvana as "an excellent example of late 20th century music" like some kind of fucking archeologist!
Nirvana plays on classic rock radio now, along with Radiohead and Metallica.
For me aren't old. But then again, it was almost 2 decades ago
Girlfriend and I were sitting around with dad and his wife and mentioned that old 80s music. In 1992. Yeah. He gave me that look and his wife was absolutely cackling with glee.
Man, wait until you learn that we had music in the eighties!
I listen classical.
I was here in the 80's. Not a fan. lmao
Really? I know it wasn't all great, but it saw the birth of hip-hop, the explosion of metal, and a good bit of expansion of what pop could be.
Country got a little worse tbh, but bluegrass started down the road to it's current renaissance.
I grew up in the 80's. Was 17 in 1987. So I was at all the right times. But I'm, a mid-90-early 2000's music fan. Tho there was a lot of good punk in the 80's.
Man, that's the truth. Punk kinda got overshadowed publicly, but the bands that were active were just fucking amazing. Sadly, I didn't discover punk in the eighties lol. I mean, I knew it existed, and I heard some of it. But if it wasn't the Ramones, it wasn't something you heard playing on a regular basis, much less with enough good curation. Well, here it wasn't a common thing to hear.
It wasn't until the nineties that I had a chance to hear a good amount of punk at all. My first, brief, stint in college was in a decent sized city, and there were some dedicated punks in my classes. One girl was wearing some black flag shirt or another, and it set off a conversation during a smoke break because I asked if that was a metal band lol.
That was my intro to punk, hanging out with that crowd, playing tapes in our cars in between classes and such.
Yep, your story sounds pretty much of how I went through it to. Thanks!
My 14 year old niece's favourite band is The Cure and I couldn't be prouder.
I'd see this as a sign his social circle might accept you as the cool stock adult.
I don't think so.
I taught my son to be a lover of pop-punk like Blink-182. No regrets!
