EDIT: Well I feel like I need to add a disclaimer here because a lot of people are just reading the title or misunderstanding what I'm saying. I am NOT saying that there's no good new music. Not saying that at all! There's lots of new music that I love! And I'm not even necessarily saying that what I'm describing is inherently bad. What I AM saying is that I feel like it's a lot harder to listen to music made in the last 25 or so years and identify when that music came out by sound alone. Basically it seems like this has all been one long "era" as opposed to past decades that all had their distinct sound.

Original post:

By this I don't mean that there's no good music after that. I'm not a Boomer, here! There is in fact a ton of new music that I love.

But if you listen to songs from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, etc...you can pretty clearly identify that those songs come from a distinct era. But I feel like the majority of music released in the last 30-ish years sounds like it could have come out at ANY point from the mid-90s to now. Like I would rarely be able to listen to a song released during that time period that I had never heard before and pinpoint approximately when it came out.

Is this just because I'm old? Did we hit a point where there just wasn't much new to come up with musically that hadn't already been done? Is this why (referencing another thread I made here recently) everything released after the mid 90s feels like "recent" music to us? Lol.

Hey guys, I’m a 44 yo professional who makes good money and loved cars since the back of the school bus days reading Road and Track magazine. I started buying cool cars around 2017 and recently bought a 2014 McLaren 12c - I can’t believe it’s really mine! Looks almost like the McLaren F1 I worshipped from the 1990s. My wife hates this hobby passionately. Anyone else in the same boat? Honey it’s not a midlife crisis, I swear! I’ve always loved sports cars and finally have money to buy them!!

tips frosted, jeans baggy.

what was it like to be a kid or teenager in this era?

Half my peers have children, half of those have grandchildren, yet I’m still asking my mom to co-sign stuff for me. Anyways happy to be alive and hoping for more years to be granted 🙌🏻

Tim is so young!

Or maybe because you were waiting for the show that was on next?

Drew Carey was sandwiched between episodes of the Simpsons so I probably watched it like 5 nights a week.

Many memories of this place at the mall!

I grew up thinking of Stevie Wonder as not cool, chalked him up to 'I Just Called To Say I Love You' because that was on the radio a lot (overplayed) when I was a kid. But in my late 20s I saw an old video of him playing 'Superstition' on Sesame Street and it was amazing. Now in my mid 40's I vibe so hard with albums like Innervisions and Hotter Than July. Interested in hearing others opinions on Stevie. However, if they're negative, I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.

I have so many fond memories (no pun intended!) of playing this card game with my grandparents, particularly my grandma. They lived just down the street and my sister and I would go over there all the time. Even after Grandpa had had enough and went to go watch Murder She Wrote, Grandma would continue to play with us as long as we were interested. I miss them both so much. People today tell me I have a “freakishly good” memory and honestly I kinda credit playing games like this so much as a kid with helping to develop it.
