That's the cover of the single. You're so young you probably don't even remember singles being sold in shops.

We should consider ourselves quite fortunate to have straddled that period where technology went mental and developed at light speed. We had dial-up installed off a disk; primitive mobile phones; pre-digital Sky; portable CD players... Remember when you had to be in the same room to play somebody at FIFA?
When players you idolised as a kid retire.
On a similar note to the opening post, Radio 1 were doing a thing tonight about Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory being fifteen years old tonight.
That actually had the opposite effect on me though, since I was surprised to find I was only ten for the spell where I thought they were great.
I recently couldn't remember how old I was. That was a worry.
I've had that happen a few times. Had to do the maths to figure it out. Couldn't remember if I was 28 or 29.
Singles, talk about a ripoff.
On the topic though, I've just met my first cousins once removed (I think that's right? My mums' sisters' daughters' kids). They didn't exist 5 years ago, and now suddenly there are 4 of them.
I read my little girl a book I had when I was a child, published 1992. It was the same book. Can't wait to show her my Dandy/Beano collection.
Also frequenting the parks I used to go as a kid. Its so beautifully nostalgic. Really emotional.
Not a fucking chance I'd raise kids where I grew up.
Oh I'm not, we never went to local parks LOL. Apart from my grandparents they did. It's the ones out of town like the adventure parks that were absolute shite but you remember them being amazing.
Going through some boxes in the attic, and came across a load of old VHS tapes brought them downstairs to have a gander at them, my 10 year old son walked into the room and didn't have a clue what they were or what you did with them.
Sort of sunk in that not only am I old as fuck but I'm from a totally different world to that which my kids are growing up in.
Were they all tapes of the 10 minute freeview on Television X?
Rooney becoming 30. I remember when he scored vs us for Everton
Doesn't that make Rooney feel old?

This 16 year old 'keeper....
Born in 1999!! I left high school in 1999!
Looks like Chris Langham.
Thinking you won't lose touch with what young people are into, like you thought older people did when you were young. And then realising you think most of what young people are into is completed and utter bollocks.
Yeah my little brother and sister who are 13 and 14 are in to different as fuck stuff. I'm so out of touch with it all and that's only 12 years.
I get the "out of touch" thing at high school too. Look across the lawn at lunch and feel completely disconnected from the vast majority of people out there. God knows what it will be like when I'm actually old.
Your siblings are 12 years younger than you? What were your parents playing at with that?
A women a little older than me at work, was taking her daughter to an autograph signing. The guy signing autographs was 'someone from youtube'
Srs. They're now married, to be fair.
Damn. No wonder you're so fragile.
What the fuck are you suggesting you little Amish shit bubble.
"Two mistakes" probably wasn't as bitter as it sounded, but I can definitely imagine you using that if they ever annoy you.
The beauty of self-awareness.
How old are you now? You might be a few years behind where I was, but it's coming.
Seventeen. "Where" were you?
Once you get laid you'll suddenly feel much more connected to all those people on the lawn, especially the females. That's what hormones will do for you
It's not that though; I do feel connected to the people on the lawn in my own grade. It's just that the rest seem comparatively like toddlers to me.
Hold on, how did I miss Spoon going from High School Musical to American Beauty?
And so quick too. Drugs or a cult?
When you're looking for relatively new music on YouTube and you see it's been uploaded 10 years ago or something.
I know the feeling. Recently went to see if a few bands I remember liking quite recently had released any new stuff, and realised they'd released about 5 more albums and split up already.
I muted the laptop a few weeks ago and completely forgot I'd had music on YouTube with the 'autoplay' thing turned on. When I went back on it had shuffled its way to 'Hoobastank - The Reason', which it informed me is twelve years old. It feels like about half that at most that song was fucking ubiquitous.
Nine Black Alps came into my head the other day, and their first album came out 10 fucking years ago.
Same with 'Hope of the States', who I remember being touted as the next great English band at one point. They lasted about a fortnight, didn't they?
I wish I had access to the sheer troves of pop punk stuff I downloaded back in the day a la Hoobastank, Alkaline Trio et al. I've forgotten most of the bands outside of the real classics since I started listening to Hip Hop.
I used to have a good 100GB of music split across so many tiny hard-drives.
My recovery driver took his ex-wife to see Trivium in Glasgow a few years ago, this reminded me of all those screamy shite bands that emerged around that time like Avenged Sevenfold etc and the absolute shiners that liked that sort of pish.
Slipknot
Korn
Sepultura
The Rest
Avenged Sevenfold are more the poppier end of it I thought, all their stuff I've heard isn't really shouty.
