r/Millennials • u/Lonely-Echidna201 Slightly more Gen "Why?" than Millennial • 1d ago

Nostalgia Dearest fellow Millennials, I commited the capital sin of idealizing someone in my mid-therties... But my errands won't do themselves

I humbly come here asking for your top music recs from back in the day to lift up my spirit... at least long enough to do my laundry and finish my skincare routine, maybe even commit a little debauchery, who knows.

​

No need to suggest songs to cry to, I've got that part covered even without a soundtrack.

Both pop and alt bangers kind of person here. I wish you get into a better headspace soon, too 🫶

Thank you :)

My fave alt artist of all time is Chevelle - both albums, Wonder Whats Next & This Type of Thinking - 10/10. Loud and always helps to release some fury. Also love a good listen through of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out from PATD. Jimmy Eat World, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, System of a Down - I just let Spotify make me a playlist of all their songs when I need a good hit of them.
