Someone once posted that your taste in music ends around the time you're in high school/college, and I thought that was bullshit until I looked at every Billboard Top 100 list since 1990. I started recognizing titles in the mid-90s (right before I was born) and stopped recognizing them in the mid-2010s (right smack dab in the middle of my college years)
I'm not crying over taylor's lastest achievement on being the first artist in history to occupy the entire top 10 in the billboard 100 as I picture her 13 yo self knocking on every radio station's door so they'd play her little self-recorded demo you are
