If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This reminds me of having the opposite experience, hearing a Joni Mitchell song I probably hadn't heard in 15 years - she had been a favorite musician of my gf's way back when. The opening notes took me straight back in time - mentally I was heading over to her place, feeling that same age, feeling all the same feelings. Very surreal experience. This was the first time I realized how much rich detail we store in our brains. It was like I had quantum-leaped back into my teenage body. I listened to some more Joni Mitchell songs to recapture the effect, but it got weaker every time - by a lot - the dropoff was very distinct.

I still love everything I listened to in highschool, except One in a Million by GNR.

Such a shame about the lyrics bc it's a great tune otherwise

We listened to the music despite Axl being too high/drunk to actually play most of his concerts. One wouldn't have throught he could go downhill from there, but here we are.

Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. "Ok, this is just noise."

It amazes me how, relative to the average individual, I am the same as I was when I was young. and im way different.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

People are often poor judges about how they've changed, because it's difficult to be objective about yourself. I've had friends' personalities do a complete 180 and they'll tell me "I haven't changed at all, actually".

Yeah I mean even external superficial things. Like I still dress kinda the same and my hair is the same and such. I could be wrong about my personality. Certainly the internet has made me much less focused but that seems to be everybody.

Well now I have to go listen to Sex On Wheelz by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, damn it.

The only band I listened to in high school that I find cringe AF now is Gravy Train.

[–] Francis_Fujiwara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Kanye and MF Doom. Not related.

And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.

Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.
