I remember hearing Keep on Dancin' by No Doubt for the first time and perking a brow at the placement of her panting into the microphone. The first thing out of my lips was something along the lines of, "this song reminds me of Stupid Marriage by The Specials." Now when I hear She Wants Revenge I hear nothing but Joy Division and the Bauhaus. I'm not old but it makes me wonder if I'm getting old. I feel like I don't listen to new music but just pick it apart as I hear things that spark memories of old tracks.
I do this ALL the time, my roommate is 11 yrs younger than I and very inexperienced with music, he thinks I am nuts, but when some soul crap he is jamming on is directly ripping off Roy Orbison or Duran Duran, I just have to speak up, lol.

So in short, I empathize.
