True. I still listen to a lot of the stuff I grew up with, especially the Stones, and stuff from the punk era, like Patti Smith, Ramones, Television, et cetera. The weird thing is, this "growing up" term. I feel like there was never an era where I wasn't "growing up"--even through the 80s, I felt like I was still mostly a kid, even though I was a married and more responsible kid. I've always felt young. I know that sounds inane, conceited, but I don't mean it that way. I just feel like I have always lived a little outside the "real" adult world in my tastes and opinions and attituded, habits, etc. So listening to stuff I "grew up" with, to me, includes a lot, even stuff like Sonic Youth and the Pixies and all that alternative 1980s rock stuff. I've only recently started to feel "old" when I realized there is a lot of underground/noise stuff that I have yet to get into.
