Hearing a song from 2002 on the "Rewind 103.5" station

I'm not sure whether I should be complaining about feeling old or complaining about the station's format decay.

    One day there will be a station that plays nothing but oldies...


     


    ...And it will be songs that came out in the 2000's

    Well, ten years is a pretty long time.


    Incidentally, I marvel at how much better pop music is nowadays than it was in the first half of the decade.

    I think I was actually living in a hotel at the time.

    I remember it first airing, too. I was all excited for Blue and the TCG and stuff.


    I'm old D=

    I remember watching Pokemon when it began airing as well. I missed the first episode but caught the second

    You can change. You can.

    you know, i watched the first two pokemon movies when they were released.


    That doesn't make me feel old, though. You know what does? When a little cousin of mine asked me "Hey, what's Hey Arnold and why does it suck so much?"


    ;_;

    2003 was 9 years ago. So yeah, I'd say it belongs on a "rewind" station. Crazy, how fast that happened, huh? Hell, Zelda: Wind Waker turns 9 years old in March.


     


    ^Wait, Hey Arnold sucks now? Kids these days...

    It sucks? Why would it?

    I don't know, that's the mystery! D:

  • ZennistradZennistrad

    ^ Probably 'cause it's not quite as wacky or fast-paced as other cartoons. Short attention spans, etc.

    It also had a cynical outlook. Rare for kid shows these days. Even rarer for slice of life ones.

    Well, this is a station that markets itself from the '80s nostalgia angle and plays primarily songs from the '80s and early '90s, so if nothing else it seemed a bit out-of-place amongst their normal programming.

  • AnonusAnonus

    Hey Arnold! is not bad, but I never really cared for it. Which makes me feel bad sometimes.

    I dunno about you guys, but I'd bust Buster's mom.


     


    Sorry, that's just an awful joke I had with some friends a ways back and it still makes me laugh a little.

    I want to say that the first... three? movies got theater releases here.

    I know I saw the first one in theaters, and I thought that shit was the coolest thing ever. (honestly, I still love it. And pretty much the entire Pokemon anime from the beginning to Diamond and Pearl.)

    I'm pretty sure that I saw Pokemon 2000 in theaters too, and I loved that one even more than the first one.

    I'm not sure about the third one. I distinctly remember being like eight and watching it in my underwear with a bag of chips that was like as big as I was in the playroom, but I don't remember if I saw it in theaters. I must have, considering how much of a Pokemon nut I was.

    And Hey Arnold is a show that I appreciate a lot more now than I did when it was on. I used to watch it sometimes, but it wasn't one of my favorite shows.

    Has friends besides tanks now

    I remember seeing the first three Pokemon movies in theaters, too. I also remember crying during the third one, because I was a wuss who cried at everything. Now I only cry when I watch grown-up shit. You know, like Madoka and Angel Beats!



    >implying Madoka wasn't seinen

  • DYREDYRE

    Angel Beats was also seinen, most likely.  Not that it matters.

    I never cried at anything when I was a little kid.

    I think the first thing that ever made me cry was either the Lost series finale or Toy Story 3, whichever was first. I can't remember when either of those came out.

    I dunno. It had some moments that aren't really suitable for 13-year-olds, by industry standards, as I recall, but it doesn't strike me as being "adult", even though Madoka does, somewhat.



    Not that it matters.



    Well, I don't have much else to talk about right now. :C

    It's "adult" because it was written for the same kind of audience as every other Key thing, which means 18-20something otaku, even if it didn't actually have any content that would be unsuitable for younger people.  Plus, the manga adaptation of the novel was published in a seinen magazine.

  • All NinesAll Nines

    Fair enough.

    I cried a lot when I was a kid. Still do. --shrug--


    Anyway, K-On's also Seinen, IIRC, so make of that what you will.
