Always remember: talking about 90’s grunge bands today is the same as talking about the early Beatles in 1996 💀
Yes but our 90s bands are popular with the kids, at least.
Nooooooooooooo
I’m in my 40s, and last time when I was at McD I saw some 20-somethings sitting at their table, looking at the liner notes of an AC/DC CD they had no doubt grabbed from the second hand store one block over.
I almost went over to say “oh wow, am I ever happy to see you kids enjoy classical music, eh?” but I didn’t, because this is Finland and talking to random people at McD is considered weird, of course.
blink-182 is dadrock now. has been for a few years actually
blink 182 has always been dad rock lmao.
Nobody likes you when you’re 53.
Converge is Dad rock. Fucking Dillinger Escape Plan is too. Thank God our Dad rock isn’t just yacht rock, that shit blows.

90s? what about 00s? It’s been 26 years since the turn of the century.
I’m 2023 I turned on the radio for the first time in years and the DJ says “now for a throwback song, Thrift Shop by Macklemore” and that made me (1) feel old because that song came out while I was in college, and (2) realize the song was over 10 years old at that point.
I hear he barely finds time or energy to mackle at all anymore.
When did Vampire Weekend become “classic rock.”
When it was formed
They were playing Viva La Vida in the grocery store. I’m like… Okay, grocery store, I get you’re trying to “cater to my demographic” since we’re the “new olds” who now regularly shop for produce, but who the fuck thought Viva La Vida was a good “millennial shopper” music choice for picking out produce and scrutinizing cereal boxes? I died inside. Sacrilegious.
That was at a thrift store today and they were playing Nirvana. I didn’t mind that.
I mean, yeah, it’s retro music now. And in my opinion is best played on a retro Sony Discman with appropriate retro headphones. I mean, how else can I best enjoy my For Squirrels CD or Blues Traveler or Local H or… you get the point!
Only problem is the fact my discman is a battery hog.
Anyone listening to 90s music today will miss out on an important element that is lost today: the CD skips.
Had to look up CD skips to be sure we were thinking of the same thing. Pretty sure you can emulate that using a similar setup to what I have: a portable LG USB disc drive and VLC. IDK if this is a me issue specifically, but VLC loves to cause the first few seconds of any song on CD to skip when using that portable disk drive of mine.
Just a reminder that Super Mario Brothers was released closer to World War II than to today.
Not a teenager. If you’ve kept up at all on music and listened to the stuff we did in the 90s, yeah it holds up great, but holy shit does a lot of it sound old in comparison. Like bowling for soup’s 1985 released in 2005 was only 20 years, but it has been 21 years since 2005. Time goes on, the pile of backlog gets taller.
Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get. Even if you’re religious and believe in an afterlife… You don’t know you’re right, you have to take it on faith. So hedge a little bit and live your damn life like there’s no afterlife.
…That doesn’t mean fucking dead deer, though.
Watch, read, listen, do as much as you can in this life you have, it’s the only one you get
Imagine saying that in a shitpost community
I’m 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don’t become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.
I like '90s music (it’s my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things “back in their day” are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.
Some songs just are classics the second they are released
I, for one, like my gray hair. I feel wise.
I once heard two tweens in line at target talking and one said what’s your guilty music pleasure?? And she said “ don’t laugh at me but I like matchbox 20 they’re really old my dad likes them “ LMAO I died inside
