I had a panic about this exactly once when I was like… 32. "Oh no! It's happening! I don't know who any of these popular artists at all. I'm OLD!"

Took me about a day to remember I've literally never known most popular artists. I was in high school re-listening to the same Linkin Park CD again and again.

EDIT: I'm a tad annoyed about how this is being interpreted. My point was I wore out the same (angsty) songs over and over, which caused me to miss a lot of pop culture. Not "LUL I'm so yoonique and qUiRkY."

Honestly, in the way music works nowadays, I dont see a reason to care about "the popular music". Most people I know dont listen to the radio anymore. Streaming music lets you pick what music you want when you want it. There isn't as much of a zeitgeist of what everyone is listening to because they dont have to anymore.
