Listening to Paramore'd latest album and it sounds so "vaporwave". 2 songs in, at least. They've managed to avoid sounding stale for 10yrs+

As I listen, I'm getting mental images of Tetris, Tamagotchi and some platonic friendly robot sidekick. San Junipero / Kung Fury vibes

Which got me thinking... the 90s to today's teenagers are probably what the 80s were to me 10 years ago. "Retro".

As a 90s kid, the 80s were... Russian movie villains? Thrash metal? Metallica, Guns n Roses. Ritz 88. Apple Macintosh? (Didn't care then)

Cassette tapes, VCRs and landlines. Disco should've been over by then. Disco was the 70s, right? 80s was Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan

8 songs in, 4 songs to go. Whole album has been really chill so far. Almost surf-rock. Good music to put in movies, very understated

Finished the album. I liked it. It was (mostly) warm and smooth, yet surprising. @yelyahwilliams is an artist. Nice work dude
