-Somehow you relate to the screaming Beatle fan girls in the above picture, and you would give anything to be them. -You somehow manage to interject classic rock into every conversation.
Le real conversation with my mom: Mom: I hope that lady doesn't mind that we're a little late, I said we'd be there in ten minutes, it's been ten minutes. Me: It's not like she's "Counting Out Time" (Genesis song) or anything. (I say this whilst wearing my Lamb Lies Down On Broadway t-shirt and having Peter Gabriel as the background picture on my phone.) Mom: You have a problem Me: I know
Tell me you if you guys have been in a similar situation!
-This picture makes sense to you:

-All your friends are aware of your obsession. -If someone were to walk into your room, they would instantly be made aware of said obsession via posters, photos, etc. -Your life goals include getting to see at least one classic rock band in your lifetime. -You own a fair amount of band tees
My wardrobe: Lily? Me: Yes? My Wardrobe: Did you seriously just put another band tee in here? Me: Yes. My Wardrobe: Me: My Wardrobe: You have a problem Me: I know. (Just so we're clear, I don't actually talk to my wardrobe🤓)
-You can also relate to this:
Person on the news: So, such and such classic rocker did a thing.... Me: Omg! He/She did a thing! *Major feels attack Person: You have a problem Me: I know...
-You are willing to defend your favorite band/artist to the death.
Dumb Person: Omg! Lily, like no one likes the Who! They are so dumb and old and no one likes them! Me: I dare you to repeat that. DP: Uh, yay Who! Me: I thought so....
Or even worse...
Even dumber person: I'm quite certain no one cared when David Bowie died that wasn't, like, fifty. Me:*Represses violent thoughts Me: May I introduce to a little thing called the classic rock fandom!! EDP: Yeah but they are all stupid! Me: I'm in it! And I dare you to call my fandom stupid again! EDP: Yay, David Bowie! *tear
-You have lots of conversations with the older generations about music. -You have acquired a title in your family like "the family hippie" or "that kid who was born in the wrong generation." -You look at a good portion of what is on the radio and cry. -However, you know what you like and you like what you know (Genesis lyrics), and you wouldn't change a thing about your music taste.
So yeah, these were all the ones I could think of for now. If you think of any others please leave them in the comments!
