I feel like I’m the only person on the planet who doesn’t like listening to the music I listened to growing up. Honestly, that time period is the last thing I want to be reminded of… not to mention that the 90s was basically one big psyop — if you grew up in the 90s and don’t feel resentment, I feel like you probably were too busy being a target of youth marketing to see what was actually happening.
Everything you think about the 90s was planned before the decade even started… why do you think “It’s the 90s!” was a thing within months of the decade beginning (or why they didn’t think any decade since then has needed that kind of differentiating? …because we’re still living in the paradigm of the 90s — which is when “rebellion” was turned into a product and global fascism took root… think NAFTA, etc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxwzaoIgDXA
This reminds me of the stories you hear about patients with various forms of dementia or Alzheimer's perking up the moment they hear a song from their youth. Music is so incredibly powerful.
I'm odd ball out. I can't listen to music from my high school days (era)... then or today. I was a 70s child. It does not make me feel good, even a little nostalgic or happy. I listen to 90s grunge and indie, and lately pop culture music—they make me soar, inspire, and energize me. That being said I will listen to 60s music, the kind my parents used to play during their parties and for celebrations. They were two generations from me, so old enough to be my grandparents. But their music does bring back happy memories and even inspires a little creativity. I can't listen to it for long, but it does soothe my brain. Music is also helping me heal from a bit of brain trauma I'm currently experiencing from recovery.
Do you know who David Fricke is? He's an American music journalist. He's on Spectrum music station (Sirius) a couple times a week. He plays and shares a lot of background to older music, some of it 'deep tracks' few have heard. I learn a lot from him. I had no idea until fairly recently how therapeutic music is. Nice article.

Right on. Thank you for learning and sharing the best truth you can too. Please see/share our research from Professor Graeme MacQueen, Amber Quitno, Captain Rob Balsamo, Captain Dan Hanley, Professor Tony Martin, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, and others and help us improve it if you can. Thank you!
90s music takes me way back, and I love every minute.

One of my pickleball friends always plays old songs while we play. I didn't realize how much I remembered--and missed--those songs!
I couldn't agree more. Music can instantly lift my mood, make me dance, or want to call that boy from the 8th grade :)
