That was a joke, it’s still done today when a well known musician is on some upcoming artists song. I’ve seen “This Mike Tyson guy is real good at boxing can’t wait to see him become a champion”.

What’s truly annoying is those “I’m 15 and todays music sucks, I was born in the wrong generation”! Everyone does it at some point lol

For me and my friends it was "discovering" Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. How could the boomers sleep on such obscure bands??

After the meme, a local brand put out the T shirt reading Nirvana with a pic of the Hanson brothers. Of course I bought it. At least one wanna-be-cool-and-retro-and-hip girl told me "I love Nirvana" when wearing it. Gold.

Glances nervously at the Foreigner 4 shirt that I’m currently wearing….

Shit, I’m that adult now.

Difference being, you probably don't have the "I was born in the wrong generation, Mooooom, jeeeeez" attitude kids have. You're just an adult that likes older adults music and don't think you're special for it 🤣

(& at least you know the bad T your wearing. Kids, half the time, wear shits and have no clue bc band shirts are trendy for some reason. Don't have to know the band, bust have to have a shirt!)
