Listening to the tunes you liked when you are growing up has been described as the best possible reminder of how much of a numpty you used to be.
Music snobs all over the world are being reminded to take a moment to reflect on what they listened to when they were young before passing judgment on other people’s musical taste.
“There’s no better way to remember how far you’ve come in life than listening to the music you liked when you were a kid,” explained a random woman we met in a nightclub smoking area. “You ask anyone what they listened to when they were younger and nine out of ten of them will name some pretty dodgy music and the other one out of ten people that claim they haven’t listened to dodgy music, are liars.”
“Listening to trashy rubbish is a right of passage as far as I’m concerned,” continued the random woman, who claimed to be an expert in something or other. “It’s the only time in your life when you can listen to anything you like and not have to explain yourself to anyone. It’s guilty pleasures, without any guilt.”
“Take my boyfriend for example,” she said while pointing at some random bloke. “He’s over there dressed head to toe in black and probably waffling about the finer details of Italian techno to anyone who’ll listen to him but, when we get home, the first thing he’ll want to listen to his East 17 CD.”
“And it’s not just him either,” she revealed. “I’m the exact same, I love a bit of techno myself now but you see if that DJ dropped Whigfield Saturday Night right now, I’d be up the front arranging people into lines and making sure everyone knew the dance moves.”
Reports suggest that the music you used to listen was particularly bad, with most of your mates likely to unfriend you if the truth about your musical past ever surfaces.
