The “born at the wrong time” is such a lame comment and I see it a lot on good old music posts. Do they not understand they live in a time where they can listen to the old music AND the new stuff? Good chance if they lived in that last generation they would have been complaining about how all the Smashing Pumpkins or Pink Floyd stuff is awful and wish they’d been jamming out with Gershwin.
Also, the music from the past we listen to now is only the best of the best of what the 90s or whatever had to offer. There was just as much bad music then, but that is long forgotten. What remains are just the absolute bangers. As a kid I wanted to find some more music similar to the Beatles, and decided the easiest way was to look at the charts from the mid to late 60s and listen to that. Most of it was atrocious.
Yo, you best stop talking about my 90s music like it’s old. Save that for the 70s and earlier music. You know the stuff that happened before I was born.
For more on the above phenomenon, watch the movie Midnight In Paris.
When I was a kid I loved listening to Jimi Hendrix. a lot. I listened to everything I could. For a while I wondered what it must have been like to see Jimi play Monterey. Then I discovered Prince. It turns out I loved Prince even more than I ever loved Jimi Hendrix. It also turns out comparing the two isn’t really fair.

I feel like you’re taking a shot at Fun Boy Three.
