No ones saying you like the nostalgia and not the music.I understand exactly what he meant. But if we liked the music, what more is there to say than that?
When I listen to records from the 80's/90's, I rock out to them. It's not about "nostalgia". To me, "I Ain't No Joke" by Eric B and Rakim has a swagger about it that resonates ANY day, ANY year.
I don't always think about the time along with the music.
I can see it maybe with 80's pop records or some freestyle. But I'm also not pretending like all of those were AMAZING records.
I listen to records from the 60's and 70's, before I was even born, and love them. And I'll say the music was better then than it is today. With actual musicians jamming out in studios.
Where is the nostalgia in that?
You say music from the 90s is still here. That's because it's strong music. Not necessarily because we're "nostalgic" about it.
Some music is timeless.
I'm just saying the idea of someone being more tied to the experience than individual bodies of music makes sense and I'm sure it's applicable to some people. It's not one size fits all.
Maybe it's not for you but I'm certain that for some people, nostalgia is a big part of the enjoyment derived from listening to past music.
And I didn't say 90's music was here because we're nostalgic about it. I said it's still here because it is, and not because it's strong music, there's **** music from the 90's that's still here too.
