So the two of us were talking about music and it turns out we have similar tastes in music, so she starts asking me what I like to listen to. I listed a bunch of country bands, some mainstream people, and then I mention that I like 90s music and a good boy band song now and then. Here's where it gets good:
Girl: Boy band? I've never really listened to them.
Me: You know, boy bands. Backstreet Boys....N'Sync....
Girl: Oh yeah, I've heard of the Backstreet Boys. I've never heard of N'Sync.
Me: What?! You've never heard of them?! Where were you in 1996???!!! (semi-jokingly, semi-not)
Girl: (thinks for a second) I was 3.
hahahaha! Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard and then just put my hands on my face and leaned down into my lap. I know that 1996 is a slight exaggeration for when these groups were really big deals, but only by a year or two. I mean, I remember making up dances to those songs with one of my best friends and she moved away when I was probably 8 or 9. So really, this girl was more like 4 or 5...just learning how to read and say the alphabet...not knowing that there's music outside of Barney, Sesame Street, and the Primary Children's Song Book. I know I'm not THAT much older than her, but just the way it sounded...oh it was so funny! I just felt so old! Good times :)
hahahahahahahaha I legit laughed out loud for a good five minutes in the library. HILARIOUS... love being old
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!! Alyssa thank you for a great laugh! I will listen to N*SYNC with you anytime you want! I LOVED them! So for now, BYE BYE BYE!
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad the things these people missed... The Backstreet Boys concert a couple years ago was the greatest thing of my life, and my sister just didn't understand.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious!! I am just glad to know that someone else out there still listens to the good old boy bands too. :)
