anyway I know a lot of people will say it's not that deep but I no longer have any nostalgia for commercial jingles or catch phrases from growing up.
As someone with an intensely auditory memory I resent that some of my earliest memories are the advertisements that barrage us from every angle, even if your parents tried to limit screen time.
I hate that memories of catchy ads are as vivid to me as or sometimes more vivid than childhood memories of my mom's singing or my siblings' voices.
I can't even pump gas anymore without having to hear celebrity gossip or corporate ads. The station screens dont have mute options.
I think a lot of people tend to look back fondly on the same kind of thing because it was part of their childhood, but it's all the same.
I hate Zoo Pals, I hate Tony the Tiger, I hate pillowpets, I hate the Trix Rabbit and the Lucky Charms mascot and moonshines just as much as modern ads. I hate every ad and mascot and jingle specifically designed to target children and get them to want things.
I hate that we can't escape advertisements for nearly a moment in our daily lives. Radios, billboards, restaurants, bus stops. We are always being told to want and want and want, but denied at the same time the rights we need and the income for those wants.
I hate that there are times and places where children grow up knowing songs or rhymes or prayers or jokes or animal calls or new languages before anything else and that so many of us just got cereal jingles.
