    This is going to be hard to hear, but:

    Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

      @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr 2010 was definitely memorable for me.

      Was organising an international convention and less than 24h before it started that bastard unpronounceable volcano shut down all of Europe’s airspace.

      Fuck 2010.

                    @realSiegfried not his own experience.

                    Bryan was 10 years old in 1969, living in Beruit where his British father was a military attaché.

                    His agent and rock promoter Bruce Allen had matched Bryan up with a lyricist who was a decade older. He has said in interviews after he was free of that contractual relationship that he wasn’t always comfortable justifying songs that weren’t within his own experience.

                      @jsr @matthewskelton The very first album I ever bought was The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden in 1982. That’s 44 years ago.

                      Thanks for making me feel very old 😭

                        @jsr bit Brit specific, but they mentioned on the radio the other day that the Maradona "Hand of God" moment was 40 years ago, which means that that day is now twice as far away as the England World Cup win of 1966 was then.

                        (I know nothing of football, but these things are weird archaeological monoliths in English culture).

                            @NotTheLBCGuy @jsr I guess then if we just say that Marty's 1855 is our 1896, I don't have to feel quite as old (I should mention this to my knees).

                                @jsr Summer of 2010? Yeah, that'd be good. Back when it felt like things were looking up.

                                Back when it felt like the USA's institutions were proving resilient and fixing things.

                                    @jsr I mean… right now, I very much want 2010–2015 back. Those few precious years were we thought intolerance was dead. No Trump in the White House, no Ukraine War; Germany, France, and UK didn't have neonazi parties dominating the elections, trans rights were making unprecedented progress and the massive misinformation campaigns weren't yet on the horizon, we got Obergefell v Hodges, Musk was just a cunt with a car company and GPTs were still cool nerd stuff and not world-destroying climate crisis engines yet…

                                    Life was good in 2010, compared to today. I'd listen to a 2010 nostalgia song.

                                      @jsr Bryan Adams having been born in 1959, the similar nostalgia-based song about 2010 would be written by someone born in 2000.

                                        This is going to be hard to hear, but:

                                        Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

                                        @jsr that song is explicitly not about 1969, it's just a dumb sex joke. Bryan Adams was a little kid in 1969 lol
