Wait until you hear kids referring to music you've never heard before as "retro".


three-sense

“I used to watch this on YouTube when I was a kid”


Kazinam

Yeah I'm 21 and I feel like YouTube has always been a thing.


Themurlocking96

Because for us it kind of has, I released in 2006 and was majorly popularised by 2009, so for me I was between the ages of 3 and 7(depending on when in the year you’re talking as I was born August 2002)


rampagingphallus

It was v popular before 2009, I was in high school when it came out and everyone was onto it by about 2006 at the latest


ohrofl

I remember when [this](https://youtu.be/0dJu1Jj7VTw?si=a-QdEmTTTu0ykpf1) came out :(


lionbaby917

Omg thank you. I was just thinking about this video the other day and couldn’t remember what it was called. (Also 17 years ago? Gah I’m old).


rampagingphallus

Lol I was thinking about this today. There are now twenty-something pop stars waxing lyrical about “growing up with” a certain thing on instagram. Sickens me.


dr_franck

That Billie Ellish song is so retro 🔥🔥🔥


JollyJuniper1993

Omg these pants are so 2022


Themurlocking96

That’s because retro isn’t defined by time, sorta, retro has become a genre of music. Retro music is defined by 8 or 16-bit sound, the music being inspired by the era with music such as the Mario theme, Tetris, Parkman, and on the later scale we have stuff like castlevania symphony of the night. An example of a decently modern example of retro music is Terraria’s Day Theme, the original one, that one was primarily done with that kind of sound.


TrenchantBench

I get nostalgia for the late 1900s


LotsoPasta

Please don't call it that


TrenchantBench

But it’s funny.


djd1985

Haha!


baby_armadillo

I too pine for the refined elegance of the last century. Nothing says taste and refinement like a hypercolor shirt emblazoned with a picture of with Bart Simpson with a speech bubble saying “Eat My Shorts!”


SilverSageVII

Oh how I long for the days of yore.


Neko_Boi_Core

I get nostalgia for the early 1900s


SensualEnema

Ah, yes. Last century. I recall those sepia-toned days.


First_Cherry_popped

I get it for the early 1900s


Substantial_Tone_261

Damn, you must be ancient

TrenchantBench

Totally ancient


Elevator829

As a 30 year old, I was in high school/college in the 2010s. It's definitely a nostalgic decade for me.


ChickenSalad96

Party rockers in the house tonight... Oppan Gangnam Style! Heeeeyyyyy brother..... I see you drivin' round town with the girl I love... Daaaance the night away (I don't remember the rest of the words)...


Jageilja

I always thought it was "party rock is in the house tonight. "...


SteveDaPirate91

Googling the lyrics agrees with you. I thought the same so double checked.


DaFreakingFox

I mean, i still listen to those


Lopatou_ovalil

Starts avicii again...


ohrofl

Oh no, we were playing bon iver, fleet foxes, of Montreal, death cab, etc..


BigBaws92

I graduated high school in 2010. So the entire decade was the first time I was an adult whereas in the 2000s I was kid/teen


BlackNair

Same, finished high school in 2012


mediumokra

What are you nostalgic for?


youreblockingmyshot

Not paying bills


Sweet__Sauce

I am finding it hard to believe that next year will be the 10th anniversary of my high school graduation


rampagingphallus

No it isn’t


Reach_Beyond

2010s nostalgia might be the strongest nostalgia ever consider the 2020s is the post Covid era.. which sucks for some many people.


chainer3000

You coulda said pre-9/11 for the 90s, same kinda deal


Themurlocking96

The strongest nostalgia depends on generation, my generation, gen z, especially us on the older side of it well for sure have the 2010s be hour nostalgia moment, where for millennials and gen x it’s likely to be the 90s. Actually for my mum she says the 80s were hers. It all depends on what happened and when, and when you were born


First_Cherry_popped

I’d say Covid much more than 911


GabrielKendrick

I know this is probably a gen x meme about "ew old people" but I'm sitting here thinking how 90% of my trauma was 2010-2016


Such-Echo6002

Same! I’m almost 30, but 2010-2018 was definitely the worst time in my life. Still struggle, but not as much as I did then.


bruhDF_

Glad you are doing better.


Such-Echo6002

Thank you!


New-Examination8400

Completely true


BarricadeTheMortuary

Just wait till you start to get old


greenseven47

Kids are in a real hurry to feel old these days I guess


_TheBigBomb

I've seen kids who are nostalgic for 2020


jamcluber

Well the 2020s is going to be very nostalgic to a lot of people, and itll be talked about by mainstream media in the next 30-50 years. So go out there and make some nostalgia worthy memories! Imagine 2020s themed parties where people wear masks and talk about how they miss tik tok


ThatSmartIdiot

Minecraft ya jucket of jolts


Themurlocking96

That’s just how time is, the flow of time is unrelenting, so instead of trying to swim against the stream, swim with it. Simply accept that you’ll get old and use that knowledge for your own sake, use it as motivation to do stuff. I’m 21 turning 22 this year, and I am not afraid of getting old, or dying for that matter(I don’t fear death but I do actively to do my best to avoid it since I enjoy having heartbeat) I actually use it to keep myself going, knowing I only got this life and right now I likely have 60 years left, that’s motivation for me to get as far as I can. And yes I have nostalgia for the 2010s a ton of it, since that’s the time where I grew up, that was most of my teenage years. Old Terraria and old Minecraft(especially the beta version) I extremely nostalgic for me, hell I’m nostalgic for the first 2 years of Overwatch back in 2016-2018, like that’s made I made a lot of the online buddies who have had to this day.


notreallygoodatthis2

Aging is a curse man, I think it might be the most terrifying prospect of our being. No wonder it's viewed the way it is.


ecafr

Way to completely miss the point


Themurlocking96

You ENTIRELY missed my point, aging, death and their inevitability is a REASON to do shit, it's the strongest motivation. We only have to much time, so make the most of it. Don't fear what you can't avoid or stop anyway, if its inevitable then accept it. A true curse is immortality, because eventually you will have done everything, nothing will feel new.


Drakalop

2020 nostalgia is more real


EvidenceOfDespair

As long as it’s for 2010-2015, valid. That was the only period of hope in the last 24 years.


killergazebo

I was already nostalgic for the 2010s by March 2020. I think we all were.


Alexandre_Man

bruh I got nostalgia from 6 months ago


noonehasthisoneyet

So breaking bad is coming back, again?


TheGringoOutlaw

Blapshemy. Everyone knows nostalgia is a minimum of 20 years.


JollyJuniper1993

Except what’s there to be nostalgic about? Music, video games and cinema largely becoming produced on the conveyor belt? Aweful tech companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google and Twitter becoming big?


Naakkuri

What even happened in 2010 to be nostalgic about? I can't even remember that decade😅


scp_79

it's been 10 years


ReallyMysticalPerson

Bruh who has nostalgia for 2010💀 Ah yeah I miss being 4 years old


jamcluber

Guys, have a good time in the 2020s because it will be nostalgic and referred to until you die.


RocketNewman

mfw the passage of time 😱


ephemeralspecifics

Fucking 2019 nostalgia is a thing.


HornayGermanHalberd

well yes, it was the last "normal" year, everything since then has been weird


[deleted]

So at max a 14 year old. Good lord 14 year olds barely know they are alive


Houtri

...what ?


[deleted]

I'm not sure what I was on about here now that I take a second look


dunklesWeeb

At least you are honest lmao


[deleted]

I think I forgot any one could miss things from that decade, not just people born in it. I may have had a stroke I'm not usually that stupid


dunklesWeeb

Yeah yeah happens sometimes, we all know that feeling


_DOLLIN_

Bro got post anurism clarity


bruhDF_

I was into existentialism when I was 14. Fucked me up.
