Is everyone obsessed with the music when they where a teenager?

I think everyone thinks that the music they liked when they were 12-18 is the best to ever exist, and everyone stops listening to new music at like 28.

About 40 for me but yeah. Although I listened to a lot of newer/recent music this year via the soundtrack for the Netflix show Heartstopper.

The show is so modern that there isn't an album available of "Songs from Heartstopper" -- the show's creator simply made an "official" Spotify playlist of all the songs used in Season 1 (and other playlists that deal with the characters and the original webcomic) and people access the music that way.

ok let's get you to bed grandpa
 
(okay i double checked and the first time i remember a creator posting a soundtrack for their work on spotify was 2010, when Kieron Gillen put up a soundtrack for his graphic novel Phonogram: The Singles Club)
 
When I was 12 or 13 we moved in next door to my grandma and her 3rd ex husband. He repaired pinball machines and jukeboxes. We had a jukebox in the barn out back and every time I hear a song that was on that jukebox I feel like it was the best song ever.
 
There is something wrong with the mirrors in my house, every time I look in them some old guy looks back at me.

The funny thing for me is that there's something about my reflection that I'm able to "buffer" it and take 10-20 years off what I'm seeing while photos don't do that. So I'll be getting ready in the morning and be like "Dang, I look good today. I should take a selfie." Then I take the picture and I'm like "who is this old person?"

Still love some '80s music, although some of it also now strikes my ear as unbearably cheesy. On the other hand, although I never had much of a taste for 'grunge' when I was a teenager, some of those bands later put out stuff that my adult ear finds... not displeasing.

I used to do that as a teenager. I completely restored an old Bally Capt Fantastic (Elton John) double flipper machine to near mint. I gave it to my brother who gave it to what became a family friend at his funeral. It still plays well.

I definitely still like the music that I grew up listening to and that started with all the great artists and bands that my mother played in the house from the 60s and 70's so I'm still partial to sticking on Zepplin or Pink Floyd when the mood takes me. My music taste expanded through many genres as I went through my teens and early adulthood from my early clubbing days to being introduced to new music by girlfriends and friends, etc. I've definitely hit an age where my interest in modern music is really not there at all and the library I have collected over the years is more than enough for me now. I know it's boring to say but my tastes are very eclectic *groan* and cover various genres and time periods.
 
I started playing drums when I was 11, so I grew up playing all the music from the Beatles/Stones on. My experience is a little more ingrained. I remember songs from the way I used to learn to play them. Part of my DNA these days. When Zeppelin/Black Sabbath/Yes etc et al broke I was in heaven.

Still the feel of that girls butt during my first dance I've never forgotten ;)
 
I committed a sin of omission in my list of great '80s albums. Just listing it can not make it up, so, in re: the OP: Is everyone obsessed with the music when they where a teenager? No:
