Oh wow, 1985, that just sent me in my own mental time machine; Bowling for Soup came from my home state. (It's also now been about as much time between now and the song's debut as there was between the song's debut and 1985.)

You might say, in the words of a song but a few years older, that the years start coming and they don't stop coming-- sorry, sorry, I had to.

I've been currently on a 2000s music kick. I'm not actually nostalgic for that era of music (I was still very much Sharing My Parents' Tastes at the time), but there were some real bangers from then. (I'd only heard about Sk8er Boi in the context of joking about 'she was a girl, he was a boy--' so imagine my surprise when I actually listened to it and had my socks fired across the room.)

Mori: Oh yeah, people make fun of it, but Sk8er Boi freakin' rocks, even I guiltily enjoyed it and I was/am one of those self-consciously unfashionable people.

Pink had some good shit too at the time, dig through her Missundaztood album if you like.

Rogan: yeah, listening to Good Charlotte later on, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed them! We have a weakness for pop punk.

Pop punk is so good!

Thank you for the rec! I've listened to a little bit of Pink, but she's definitely worth a more thorough deep dive.
