@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.

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

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

@jsr and the song writer would have been born in 2001...

Good grief ye weren't pulling yer punches

@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
@thirstybear @jsr @matthewskelton Hah, you too. Only it was “Killers” for me. And then a few years back, all the hubbub of “Killers” turns 40 this year! … uhh, no it doesn’t, it came out in … Damn! 🤯

@jsr Happy Days first aired in 1974 and depicted life in 1955.
If it were made in 2026, it would be set in 2007.
I'm not sure I'm ready to feel nostalgic about the Great Recession with the housing market collapse, surge of the Iraq war, George Bush, pushing $100/barrel oil, VA Tech shooting, etc.
Maybe I could get nostalgic about Spiderman 3 getting record sales on opening day and the first iPhone being released? Probably not.

@jsr I was an naïve, anxious, indebted, struggling student living off bread and eggs and struggling to make rent. I don't really miss 2010 that much
.I would hug my uncles tightly and visit them more while they were still around.

@coffeemug @jsr True! He was a rocker, but just barely.

@kralcttam
You've got the lyrics. Next work on the melody...

@jsr Except the Summer of 69 wasn't about 1969, it was about a nonenumerated summer of nymphomania. For all we knew he was singing about 1984.

@coffeemug @jsr I guess unsure if the summer of 69 actually was in the year 69. Random reference: https://americansongwriter.com/the-double-meaning-behind-summer-of-69-by-bryan-adams/

@jsr 2010, the sequel to 2001 a Space Odyssey, is also fun: part of the plot revolves around political tensions between the US and Soviet Union making the crew separate. In the real world, the Soviet Union dissolved 20 years before that year. Also, no manned interplanetary voyages.

Miley Cyrus released "Party in the U.S.A." in 2009, ten years after the first Britney song came on the radio. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2016.

@jsr If I could go back, I'd much rather return to 1969 than 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.
@Tubemeister @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr I landed at ORK Ireland the day before and remember spending a bit of each night for 2 weeks worrying about how I would get home.
The countryside was so lush and green that March.

@jsr Prince released "1999" in 1982. And yes, I do remember that. I was 16 at the time (in '82 that is)
Now looking for a song about 2043.
