This says a lot about both generations. 😂
If you don’t believe it, try playing the song for your kids or, better, yet, let sixth grade teacher
do the job for you. He has a fun TikTok channel in which he plays nostalgic tune for his students, who then react to the tunes on Post-It notes.So, what did his kids have to say about “1979”? Many of the comments were... unkind.“Cringe, weird words, old,” another said succinctly.“It’s not autotuned.” Well, fair enough.
A few precious keepers had nicer things to say about the song — either that or they were trying to score brownie points.“It is the bestest song in the world my mommy and daddy listen to it.” “It reminds me of a song you’d listen to right after school’s out,” one kid writes — and thank goodness someone got the exact vibe right.
To give all of this some context, “1979” was released in 1996, also known as 27 years ago. So, this would be like if your sixth grade teacher in 1995 played you “Sugar Sugar” by The Archies or “Come Together” by The Beatles and asked how hip it was . This isn’t the first time that Mr. Fishman has played old songs for his kids. In past reels, he’s spun “Heart of Glass” by Blondie, “How Soon Is Now?” by The Smiths, “Soul To Squeeze” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys.Down in the comments, readers are making requests for what he should play for them next, including Weezer, Primus, Billy Idol, Gwen Stefani, and Nirvana.
