Sometimes Pop Culture can make you feel old.

One day, you'll be watching TV and you'll see a promo for Saturday Night Live and you'll realize that you don't know who that person is that is hosting. And you've never heard of the musical act either. Shortly after that, you'll feel liver spots bursting on your arm.

Honestly man. Point taken on the highest level. They did this to me already and they are doing it to Gen z and gen x. What’s worse is they will never have a childhood and it’s like they dnt mind. After highschool I stopped following trends. Now following tends literally leads to the grave and these folks seem to think the afterlife is cool somehow? Not sure. But the line up is fire man no question. Music across time is fire when you find the gems. I’m still in con funk love train found from my gmas era

"Today" - Smashing Pumpkins. The song was written by Billy Corgan while feeling massive suicidal urges. The whole idea of it is to play on what he's saying.

"Today is the greatest day I've ever known, can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long" This lyric is about how he wants to commit suicide, and how he can't wait until the next day and he'll be dead anyways. I also just love how he says "can't live for tomorrow" instead of "can't wait for tomorrow," just a tiny detail I've always appreciated.
