Songs that didn't age well (1 Viewer)

I've brought this to the table before -- I know it's not the consensus.  It just sounds like crappy west coast metal to me now.   

love Perkins and Avery still but Navarro and Farrell are just cheese.   maybe they always were and I didn't know it back in the day.

Lots of weird older songs about young girls. I try to give the benefit of the doubt that the song is written from the perspective of when the singer was a teen themselves. I mean a guy can write a movie or direct a film about teen love so I suppose it’s within reason for a songwriter to have nostalgia for a high school crush. It’s still pretty cringeworthy at times.

I remember an Eric Carmen video where at about the age of 40 he is riding around with a car full of teenage girls.

A lot of all the early ‘80s heavy synthesizer music might have aged the worst.  Songs like Whip It for example. It sounded new and cool at the time (at least to my 10-year old ears) but it’s hard not to laugh at now.

I have noticed the same thing. Guitar led music of that era just sounds less old and cheesy.

WTF cares what Rolling Stone thinks? Music is obviously very subjective, if you think the Beasties have aged well more power to you. I think most of their music has aged very poorly.

It's funny, I tend to agree with your take mostly -- but I find myself still listening to BB's instrumental/funk tracks.   But by and large, I can do without them rapping.  that whiny nasal delivery just doesn't work for me.  

But "The In Sound From Way Out!" is still right on point.

I believe I mentioned in an earlier post that I still enjoy their instrumental album.

Has to have aged somewhat well. I have heard it at least 4 times in the last month on Sirius.  Classic and 80s.

When I say not aged well, I think more of cultural acceptance.  Dire Straits is great IMO.  Think about it like we wouldn’t call someone the king of rock and roll today if they married a 14 year old girl.

 
I will say much of Kiss’s old material.

Was the #### among us kids the ‘70s, but now comes across as pretty campy and formulaic.

That may be true and I hardly listen to them..but I still like hearing a good KISS song when I have been drinking at a party.

Can I have some examples because my experience and personal opinion is different.

The video for Centerfold has a mid-thirties Peter Wolf prancing around in a high school classroom surrounded by girls all dressed in nightgowns. 

The video for She's A Beauty has a twelve year old boy in a strip club waving money at a woman who is locked in a cage. 

 
JK I actually don’t even know one Pixies song. Just know the artsy guy down the hall in the freshman dorm loved them.

Are they as terrible as I imagine?

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
