Don't worry, in a few years it will be Kenny G and Virginia Slims.

And eventually XXXTentacion and a Juul

Sex education was a muttered warning about the school janitor

I am in the back of the station wagon, unfettered

Living on the Edge is a completely different song.

Man I do miss the red velur/velvet whatever people used to put in cars. I thought it was a nice ascetic.

I rode in an older luxury one (I’m not sure how luxury a Chrysler New Yorker was seen at the time, but it had clearly been a premium model) years later as an adult and it was plush and comfy. Kind of annoying to get in and out of because it really grabbed at your clothes, but I can understand why it was once seen as a luxury feature, especially compared to the vinyl in my dad’s pickup truck!

Wouldn’t you be listening to Living on the edge by Aerosmith?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is what I opened the comments for.

Also a reminder that Steven Tyler is a predator in the bad ways.

Hes not even subtle about it. I cant listen to aerosmith anymore, half the damn song lyrics are about how much they like underage sex

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As long as you're not Living on a prayer. I've listen too much of that song.

You're halfway there

No special car seats, either, except for babies/toddlers. I know I used a booster seat when very small, and grew out of it when I was “tall enough to see out the window.” Then a few years later (some point in the mid-90s), the law extended the age that required car seats.

Thankfully I was above the age cut off - I’m pretty sure that after being told I’m “a big girl” and that I “grew out” of my booster seat, I would’ve put up a fight over needing to use one again.

I can smell this meme, and I don't like it 🤢

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man I'm glad my mom never smoked

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Same, her or my dad!

God it seemed like that fucking song was on a neverending loop for about six months. MTV must have played it once an hour.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Now your mom has to turn her oxygen off before she can light up.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

When you get home, she turns on the TV and it's 3/4 of the way through a rerun of the Beetlejuice animated show premier. You hear your mom cough and light another.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Stop hurting me like this.

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago

Oh, no. My mom wouldn't let me watch Beetlejuice because he's a demon.

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Lol reminds me of everyone's back seats with all the little (and sometimes not so little) holes melted through from the cigarette embers flying back.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I grew up in the back of a messy station wagon, but at least I wasn’t the kid who grew up in a smelly station wagon.

I can still smell my friend’s car. Was it because of cigarette smoke or did an opossum DIE in there??

[–] BarbudoGrande@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Try the front seat of a single cab. Cruising highway speeds at 5am with only a slightly cracked window.

Those Newports hit

The fumes make it hard for Elmo to think.

[–] jsheradin@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Has anyone, even a child, ever fit in the back seats of a Porsche 928?
