Is it normal to listen to music in your pursuit of the past?

It's like Philip J Fry on Futurama, I want music to be what it used to be, I want my old possessions, watch VHS, have an old TV, listen to old music (cool music that has nothing to do with the best hits of Mozart and Beethoven). This cool music they might accuse me of listening to classical music and they already do. I want the pocket radio I used to have, and to be a Puritan like I was when I was 35 when Robbie asked if I'm normal, back to my normal self, is that normal?

    It's absolutely normal. I still use scotch tape on my vhs cassette ribbons when they break. There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. It's not living in the past. It's just reliving a better time. A Time when we didn't have to worry about the things that we have to worry about nowadays. it brings a sense of peace and tranquility to me

      I should've seen it coming, people at war against me being centred exactly in the norm, and the problem is this upsets disabled people, they're asking me not to do conformity but to fit with the bloody minority, I'm never going to win, I keep telling the people who don't understand me we're all the same. The people at war with my norms are my roommate Ken and Ben next door when everyone else thinks difference to the minority is my choice.

      Trance music, electro, electronica, electropop (I don't like techno anymore), purist black metal (and no other metal, and not atmospheric black metal or any black metal that gets a purist's thumbs down/disapproval), Doobie Brothers, Human Nature the Motown records, Kraftwerk, Austrian Death Machine etc, folk music, polka, classical music, waltz, several styles of jazz, and Gershwin to name a few. And the irony is all this and all the music I like is old music from my past and not modern, recent or new music, some of these things and my drinking of wine and use of language I'm a purist about. I certainly don't listen to any pop music I never mentioned and don't listen to Krautrock, and I do listen to the above especially if they're popular music with less focus on less popular music. An example of popular music I like is Beethoven, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Polish polka (only purist polka and not the German one or the one in English), Bob Dillan, and popular versions of the above popular music. And I don't listen to anything with the word art in it, I listen to any philosophy song, patriotic Australian music and I don't listen to Australian music if it's not about Australia or any nation, and I don't listen to treason or anti-Australian music, and finally I don't listen to anything that sticks to my mind too much, nor to trip hop or Sneaker Pimps or anything weird nor do I listen to quirky music, not the false individuality they label quirky! That means I don't listen to hateful things like the Australian music of Savage Garden, Kylie Minogue or I'll be gone, or any non-ethnic music that's part of my nation, I hate listening to negative things or anything evil in any way, even if it's Australian or part of my nation, I only listen to national music that talks about my nation or anti-Semitism or any anti-Semite anthem. And I listen to whatever that popular song is from a brief introduction to nihilism, but from the original musicians. And finally I listen to one hit wonders like the four non-blondes and crazy loop.

          Yeah but that stuff's a thing of the past, I was chasing after the wrong things when I should be one of the longhairs.

    While it is nice to partake in nostalgia, staying in the past is probably not a good idea.

      Very true. I used to try to relive the past (or better yet, experience a past I never even lived and had a very misplaced sense of nostalgia for), then realized I wasted so much time wishing I was in a different time that I forgot to enjoy the present. Then, of course, I would later become nostalgic about the time I wasted being nostalgic for another time.

      I still love my old stuff, music, movies & TV shows, etc., but all of that stuff can be enjoyed in the present while still living in the now and also enjoying new things. There's nothing saying you can't enjoy a bit of both!

          I was just replying to Cuntsiclestick's comment about how it's okay to partake in nostalgia, but not to get too stuck in the past.

        Yep. I listen to modern rock bands but also have some of the old emo stuff in my playlists. XD
