Kids think old music is terrible…until it’s on Netflix 😂

Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill has re-entered the U.K. charts because of its use in the new Stranger Things series, 35ish years after it was first released.

Personally I think it’s a great thing they can hear and appreciate music beyond the Beiber/Sheeran/Ariana Grande bullshit that’s circulating today.

The kids today have no idea what they missed out on during the pop music phenomenon from the 50's to 2010.

There just isn't much left of the music industry, so music executives and producers aren't developing and promoting true musical talent, its all about image these days. Talent is secondary.

@SumKindaMunster Tbf, most of the stuff in our charts at the moment contains recycled samples. Two of the most popular songs sample Fergie and the Stone Roses.

@SumKindaMunster Watch the movie “Wrecking Crew” on Netflix if you love music from the 50’s 60’s and early 70’s. You’ll enjoy it.

@SumKindaMunster Oh, I forgot a song that sampled La Roux and another that copied that godawful Land Down Under song 🤢

Whoah whoah whoah...are you speaking ill of "Men at Work" and their wonderful pop song "Land Down Under"???😯

I never would have learned what a "Vegemite" sandwich was without that song....

@SumKindaMunster Yes I am.. And I've had vegemite (it's nowhere near as good as Marmite). And again, it's been sampled and made infinitely worse (if that's possible).

@SW-User Oh man...well I respect your opinion on sandwich spreads but pop music? Not so much....

@carpediem It's also included in Prime membership - if you don't like supporting Netflix.

@Budwick Maybe it was Prime not Netflix. All the same to me. It was good though
