Music from when you were 14 15 16

This post has to do with the clip watched in class today (2/19). There was a guy on the movie that we watched today that said everybody has an urge for the music from when they were 14, 15, or 16. Depending on how it is interpreted, I agree with one interpretation but not the other. The first way it could be interpreted is that everyone has an urge for the music that they listened to when they were 14, 15, or 16. I agree with this because listening to the music you listened to when you were younger brings back memories, and sometimes invokes very strong feelings of sadness from missing the "good ol' days".

The second way this could be interpreted is that everyone has an urge for the music scene that was popular when they were 14, 15, or 16. I completely disagree with as much emphasis on completely that can possibly be put on that word. When I was that age, I listened to music from the '70's and '80's, even though I was born in '89. The "music scene" that was popular when I was the ages mentioned above was rap, hip hop, and the likes of that [stuff]. I have extremely negative feelings for this music for the simple fact that the people who make this "music" (if you can call it that) do not need to even know how to sing, because 99% of the time they use Pro Tools to keep them on key and on time. I have no respect for that, I do not and never will long for that. Not to mention the promotion of the misogynistic views they portrayed through their lyrics and million-dollar music videos, which I find ironic because a large portion of the audience is female (and not just females, but females who speak against misogyny). Sadly, this is still the most popular music today, and the computers are used more today than they were in the '90's, but no one cares. I thought lyrics were supposed to have subtle meaning so that they can be interpreted different by everyone, and therefore allowing the song to relate to a wider audience, not to be crude and blunt. Another problem with this is that most of the people who listen to this junk have very high moral standards, which completely contradicts the music they listen to. Alright I'm done ranting now hahaha
