Ughh you know you are getting old when you don’t know the songs which are cool right now


Seriously, I was checking what were the biggest hits of this year I knew no single one, I feel like I’m getting old. It’s so sad to be so out of fashion with the current music when in my teens and 20s I knew every single song on the radio.

listening to certain xm channels is like listening to local radio stations back in the day

For me, it was when I was watching an episode of Saturday Night Live and I didn't know either the host or music guest. That happened about 15 years ago. Oh well. SNL has been sucking for years anyway.

Good point as well

What is on the radio or on Netflix, for that matter, isn’t necessarily what’s cool. I abandoned popular media in my mid 20s and I haven’t missed it a bit.

The real question is: Are there even any songs that are cool right now? And cool for whom? For a bunch of zoomers that grew up listening to shit?

reply

I don't see it as a problem. I was never big into the charts, most of the stuff I've been listening to since the early-mid 90s hasn't exactly been chart material and I'm still finding tons of new music that's good to me. I think being "old", musically speaking, is when you don't even bother to find something that really speaks to you.

Great way to make me feel better.

I was like what the hell is happening to me that now I’m so enchanted with Bon Jovi which now is old when everyone is onto the latest Taylor swift.
I love Taylor Swift but I abandoned her when she started with that awful look what you made me do 😢😢😢

Her previous album was gold with Blank space and Me.
Ariana Grande loved her but lost me that awful thank you next.

No more tears left to cry wonderful, dangerous woman pretty good, Side to Side really fun song but that awful I want I got it ewww.

Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are cool

Damn right🤘

I honestly don't care what's cool anymore, because a lot of mainstream pop culture right now sucks. Heck, I wasn't even sure what was a hit when I was a teenager, unless the damned radio played it over and over again.

I just go with the music I like and to hell with people if they don't like it.
