âFor every man there is a purpose which he sets up in his life. Let yours be the doing of all good deeds.â Robin Hood quoteing the turk bible (quran)
I understand what you mean, I have the same feeling - everything is a but less vivid now.
I am no expert, but my guess that is happening because you have much more experience with the world now. As we age, the number of things that will be completely new to us becomes smaller and smaller. We just have more experience, and even if we havenât seen/felt/heard something particular, chances are, that your brain still wonât be completely surprised - it will be able to find some experiences that you have which are close to that new thing.
But when you are a kid - there is a whole world of things you didnât experience at all or didnât experience enough to understand fully. Thatâs why everything was so vivid - there was a lot of âtrulyâ new experiences.
Hats. It used to be that people wouldnât be seen dead outside without a hat but these days, unless youâre a big fan of baseball hats, your options are sorely limited.
Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so Iâm no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. Itâs been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile thatâs pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Yâall$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they donât count
Hahaha Ive had Blind stuck in my head for like 3 days. I stopped listening to them when I was still in highschool but have dabbled in the past year or two and itâs such a good nostalgia hit
Loved this stuff back in the day as well. I still do. I got to see Slipknot live at a festival a few years back and they put on one of the more impressive shows Iâve seen.
Hahaha damn you roasted them so hard. True I guess I donât see too many people repping them, I just know they played Madison Square Garden with Scowl, though, so I assumed itâs what you whippersnappers are into
I just saw Korn live for the first time last year and it was a great show. They played a lot of their old stuff and really made me appreciate some of the early albums again. Donât care for their new music much, but then again and donât like most new music. I prefer stuff I already know. Must be an age thing.
I was watching fireworks last week, and this little girl said, âAvril Lavigne completes this!â and started singing Complicated. She was so excited!
I recently read that in a neurotypical human being, the succession of two experiences only has a big impact on brain activity for the first experience, while the second makes a smaller spike. In psychotic patients on the other hand, the impression makes two equally large spikes both times. In the experiment, the experience was hearing a ballpoint pen click. So maybe being dulled to former experience is important for the brain to function properly, just a side effect of our natural brain filter.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I am trying to link it to survival and evolution, but canât pin anything down off the top of my head. Iâm going to continue mulling it over though.
