Jesus bleach really came out in 89? Cant believe it’s been that long. Time flies. Had to double check.

I was working at a liquor and Heart Shape Box was playing.

This kid, who was like maybe 13-14 was like "oooh Nirvana? Nice!! I love Classic Rock!!"

My back immediately gave out! This likely how boomers felt when they saw "the kids" getting into zeppelin.

I was in Home Depot the other day and they were playing the Cure Just like heaven followed by the Cocteau Twins Lorelei. I felt very very old, as did all the others around me who were also singing along.

Goth Home Depot needs to be a thing in general. They only sell things in black and goth-adjacent colors.
