How foolish of me, I can't believe I forgot the real classic of our era before now!

Keeping up with the 'cool kids' it's quite evident that anything that gets meme'd to shit will stick around as 'classic.' Today's standards don't give too big of a shit about a song unless it's in a meme. Even fucking Evanescence got a sudden surge because it got meme'd. Hell, that was true of 'Ievan Polkka' even before this generation.

The kid that keeps yelling "play despacito" is going to get nostalgic over it in ten years.

The Internet was a mistake.
 
I think the problem is that stuff moves really fast now a days. Movies, songs, shows are popular till the next thing comes a long, and don't really have time to solidify in to pop culture. Sure there's a lot of good stuff out there but there's so much stuff that comes out so fast it gets lost.
 
Nobody will remember names. Nobody will remember titles. Only screaming sky cowboys and synthesized autism.
 
No one actually gets to choose. Y'all are gonna end up stuck with "Call Me, Maybe" and "Gangnum Style" playing in every nostalgiabait movie about the teens whether you like it or not.
 
Even though I dislike the Killers it's Mr Brightside that will be very memorable. It still charts the top 100 in the UK 14 years after release.
