Nostalgia!

So I was flying home this weekend via Airtran, and they had XM radio with headphone jacks in the armband, which was great because you could listen to it during takeoff and landing, which are always the parts of flight when I'm tragically separated from my otherwise-constant iPod intake. Plus, you could use your own headphones, you didn't need to buy their shoddy ones for $5. Thumbs up Airtran!

Anyway, as I was browsing through the stations trying to find something interesting to listen to, I came across something I hadn't heard in forever: Headstrong by Trapt. It was a classic angry white boy rock song that came out in 2002, an anthem for pent-up middle-school angst across the country. Hearing it brought back memories of a few kids from middle school jumping around yelling BACK OFF, I'LL TAKE YOU ON, HEADSTRONG, I'LL TAKE ON ANYONE. I wonder if this is what "oldies" radio will end up like for my generation?
