Signs you're getting old? (lemmy.ca)

My knee still doesn't feel right after that hiking trip two weeks ago.
I started listening to really old music.

Have I crossed the threshold?

It genuinely irritates me when I hear sampled songs get passed as new without any credit to the original

In your opinion, how should they be crediting it? I'm having trouble trying to imagine a good way that it could be credited within the song, and I can't imagine very many people actually pay attention to the credits for music, especially when so few of us are buying physical copies anymore.

I've definitely experienced feeling annoyed at the new songs, but some have grown on me, and hearing the samples often leads me to add the original to my playlist. I've actually been having a lot of fun trying to see if I can name the original artist & song title whenever a new one pops up.

The DJ should mention it, would be my solution. I got into Gary Numan's Are Friends Electric after hearing Sugababes fantastic Freak Like Me (arguably better than Numans), but I had to find out that they sampled from him. A quick nod from the radio DJ would have saved time, and would have been respectful of the original
