This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Definitely where I live it was. I used to cycle between all the rock radio stations when listening to music and around the time that song came out it was all the radios would play. I actually liked the song when it first came out but it got so overplayed.

This is the only clip that makes me willingly listen to imagine dragons: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginedragons/comments/dh21ul/city_blackout_perfectly_syncs_with_believer_sound/

(Sorry for link from "that site")

Shotgun and 5.56 combo sounds like amateur sound design for sure....it's perfect

And passing it off as a bald eagle

My local rock station started playing straight-up modern pop hits a couple years ago. Could have at least left it at pop rock, there's no shortage of that ...

Though they never pretended to be brutal, they were always about classic rock and 90s pop rock. AFAIK they didn't even play Black Sabbath.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's depressing. My local station is still rockin' hard with "A Little Bit Off" by FFDP on repeat, with some Metallica and Black Sabbath sprinkled in. They do the cringy "we do things the other stations won't" innuendos, but they don't gave a morning show and don't play ads on my drive home (except for their own station), so I'm happy.

Every time Baba O'Reilly by The Who ends, my brain adds in "Q104" before the next song starts

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As happens to everyone who grew up in the greater Cleveland area in the '90s

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Must be more than one Q104. Mine was out of NYC.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Same, steeped in that 104.3.

There was also a weird jazz station on AM (not 88.3FM) that'd show up on Sunday nights, but only for a few hours? I still don't know what it was but I loved it.

This sounds like a GTA radio station

[–] locahosr443@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

My instant reaction to this was an overwhelming sense of vice city nostalgia

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This feels like a "Sex FM" thing.
