Remember those times in the car with your best friend, both of you desperately trying to remember songs from when you were younger so you can bring back the memories (hint hint, like thanks for the memories)? Or the times you're given the aux, and you think the best route to make everyone happy is the songs we all grew up with, yet you don't want to play the ones that are first to come to mind when people say "throwback" (aka Mr. Brightside).
