I am crying now. "I'm with You" by Avril Lavigne is from 2002? "Lose Yourself", "Heaven", "A Thousand Miles"?! Some of these aren't surprising, but still!
When I turn 30 I'm gonna go insane because these songs will be only ghosts. And what about 80s hits? "Hey Jude" and "Heaven is a Place on earth?" Will they fade into obscurity as this world develops?! WHY?!
Sorry, I think I'm mental or something right now. it's that overwhelming feeling of nostalgia you get when listening to music. WHAT IS THE WORD FOR THAT I KNWO THERE IS ONE
Nostalgic Melancholia?
Avril Lavigne's music will fade due to its inanity and relative vapidity. Good things never fade. People will still be talking about Beethoven 200 years from now, but the likes of Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj will be veritable ghosts.
I know that feel. These songs were on the radio when I was young:
I know that feel all too well.
The only song I recognize from those you mentioned was "Hey Jude". I'm less than 30 years old, and I learned to love that kind of music from my parents. Gotta go, the John Denver CD in my youngest siblings' room is skipping.
It's not as bad as you think. People still remember the stuff I was listening to back in the day, and I passed up thirty a while back.
3156053 Yeah. What he said. Think about the hits of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly. Fifty years on, people still listen to them, and I expect they still will in another fifty. But there are plenty of lesser artists from the same era that have faded into obscurity.
I know your pain, my friend:
My childhood in a nutshell. Don't feel ashamed if you don't recognize any of those songs. From what little I know about your non-internet life, they're probably older than you.
For me...
It's a matter of anime theme songs.
(The reason I chose the second theme song was because I like it better over the first, and because I think it better represents the series.)
3156135 I know Smooth!
3156125 3156053
I think I knew that, deep down. Yay!
3156012 Yeah, that's it!

You're welcome.
3157155 Great
And don't worry about your favorite songs being forgotten. There's always the possibility that they'll make a movie about a legendary space outlaw who carries a tape filled with a bunch of forgotten hits just waiting to be revived
3157827 Wat XD
3158585 You never know. They could easily reboot Guardians Of The Galaxy in 20 years and have a new "Awesome Mix" containing songs you grew up with
3158639 That reminds me: In 30 years they'll probably reboot the Harry Potter series and Emma Watson wants to play Professor McGonagall.
3158799 Wow
I don't know if she'll look old enough, though
3158991 Mrs. Weasley, then?
3160019 Okay
