See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

LAST TWO!!!! DAY 29 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!

This one's taking me back....... literally! Now, what is "Childhood"? Could be being a little kid, maybe a pre-teen right? I guess technically a teen would do, but that feels a bit different. Oh well, have fun!

ONE MORE DAY Y'ALL!

I have memory issues. Add that to not getting into music until I was in my tween years and the one song that I can think of that had a lasting impression:

The B-52s - Rock Lobster

And holy shit, do I hate this song. My local classic rock station would play this sometimes. Didn't get it then, still don't get it now. The worst part is that it's so memorable and catchy. And just annoying. I love the Cosmic Thing album, but earlier B-52s just isn't for me.

Haha I totally understand that this song could be hated but I love it. Maybe I benefitted from never hearing it on the radio and "discovering" it on my own
