Why can I only enjoy music when it's 20 years out of date? So annoyed with myself. (hexbear.net)

When I was a kid in the 90s, I absolutely loved 70s music. I wished I'd been alive in the 70s to get to see it live, but of course, having been born in the 80s, there was nothing I could do about it. But then in the 00s I got absolutely madly into 80s music, especially the big 80s rock bands like Def Leppard, Europe, etc. At the time I had a job and was able to save up some money and go to a lot of music festivals where these bands were playing. Lots of 00s bands were playing at these festivals too, and my friends at the time were into nu metal but I ignored all those modern bands and didn't watch them.

Now it's the 2020s I find myself getting really into those 00s rock and metal bands and I am so annoyed with myself, watching their videos they look so much fun live, and I had endless opportunities to see them live and just.... didn't bother. What is wrong with me, why am I like this.
