Why do we love the songs we listened to at 16 the most?
This was a saved draft from over 4 years ago. I finished it with my present thoughts.
Think back to when you were 16. I bet you can easily remember what you listened to. My mixed CDs consisted of Something Corporate, The Starting Line, The Academy Is.. and many more emo/punk bands. I was wondering, why at that age do kids build such a strong connection with the songs, lyrics, and artists. What drives a kid to make that connection and why do we lose it when we grow up?
I still listen to music. I still go to shows. But there isn’t an artist that I’ve recently discovered that I would put over Something Corporate. Will I ever? Probably not.
