We’ve all heard songs that take us back to our formative years; normally, I’m listening to Kanye West when that happens. This rewind is not limited to my music collection. It’s everywhere. Pop music has officially embraced my generation’s childhood, and its beginning to freak me out. By the way, Mr. Reznor, I need my Atari back.
