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.
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
Eh, I’ll still listen to em. Hollywood Undead is still my favorite boy band too. Also system of a down was my lawn mowing playlist and I will fight any motherfucker who says they haven’t held up.
They’re my workout music. Aside from being very vulgar, it’s adrenaline rock all day long.
I don’t watch music usually. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sorry, I’ll stick with most bloodhound gang forever, especially as a comedy group. Hooray for boobies fucking rocks, sans a few talking tracks.
Cringe was the point of the Bloodhound Gang.
Yup, totally, except that drove some of us away.
Story time! I can vividly remember a co-worker of mine at the time, a 6 foot 4 inch tall, 260 pound dude, pelvic-thrusting madly in my direction, while singing that song. He loved it, he loved how not PC they were – I didn’t. He made sure to remind me of that fact very often. It was all just for fun, but yah, not my thing.
Not really something I would listen to either, but they were intentionally cringey, unlike some other 90s music (e.g. Korn)

Replace “high school” with “you were 12” and then I agree.
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.
Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap is a damn solid album.
Nope, still good
Yeah… One,two… princes kneel before you…
That’s what I said now
It’s been a whole lot easier since bitch left town…
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.
This is a dumb picture… there is nothing wrong with old songs… they were real, unlike the A.I. generated trash of today
Expiration dates are mere suggestions.
Tell that to my CA.
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.
Took a ride by a police station. Seemed like something do. Heard a voice saying what are you trying to prove.
I thought about it an hour. I thought about it a minute. I thought about it weeks on end. I couldn’t decide.
Angst, ballin, and anger don’t make for great memberberries. Can’t listen to so much stuff I loved.
Been really getting into playing drums on Clone Hero recently and it’s given me a chance to rediscover so many songs that I haven’t thought about in years.
I listened to a lot of nightcore growing up. That’s something I don’t ever want to go back to.
This comes back to the problem with old music: music didn’t get worse, you just remember the good or memorable songs. At any point since the Billboard charts have been created 70% of them is dross, 20% is mediocre, maybe 10% is good. Everybody remembers the good songs that survive because they are good, and some of the mediocre songs people relate to. Everybody forgets the dross.
But back then, that was what you listened to as well.(Check out, e.g. the Billboard hot 100 for 1968 (or even just Hot 20): it had Hey Jude at position 1, Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay on 3, and Mrs Robinson on 9, but it also had, let’s see… 18 was Grazing in the Grass by Hugh Masekela (which is good but it’s a trumpet instrumental), 2 was Love is Blue by Paul Mauriat (a schmaltzy melody, but it’s the second hottest song if 1968), and 7 is This Guy’s in Love with you by Herb Alpert)
(And you can do that with basically every year. I graduated in 2004, so what do we have there? Usher’s Yeah on 1 (I remember that), Usher’s Burn on 2 (no clue), Maroon 5 on 4 (this is one of those bands everybody seems to have struck out of their memory), Hey Ya by Outcast on 8, but their The Way you Move on 5 (definitely not a mainstay I would say), Nickelback is 17 (another band everybody pretends never to have listened to), but Twista’s Slow Jamz is 16 (who?) )Yeah, but people seem to forget it all the time when it comes to music. I just can’t stand the constant whine of “Oh music used to be so much better back then” no it fucking wasn’t.
(I also despise the whole thing about cartoons: look at how good the cartoons we had back then and how bad the cartoons now are. And then they turn out to be talking about old Looney Tunes or Disney cartoons that were done for cinemas, often with an actual budget, and which just got repackaged for TV later)
