Current Events > Let's stop pretending like things are good just because they are old

(+) Yeah! (+)

Unfaithful by Rihanna is the most overrated song I think of all time. Hailed as a classic but even at the time it was released it was a middling addition to a stagnant catalogue. However in recent memory with the passage of time this tune gets yapped about non-stop. Perhaps because Rihanna would rather focus on being a mom then releasing new music, but it seems these rose tinted glasses for the past are really emphasizing mediocrity for the sake of nostalgia. Heck, I'll go as far as to say Unfaithful is the WORST Rihanna song.

I strongly agree with the idea, but not the example.

I'm pretty sure Rihanna goes between, like, four notes in that entire song.

And she is in no fucking way a bad singer or lacking range, I don't know where that Natalie Merchant-ass performance came from.

I went and watched the video. The song was fine. It was neat seeing those mid-2000s cell phones.

In general, and with its caveats and exceptions, retro games are way, way waaaay better than modern games

they're good because they're old :)

Everyone has different taste in things, so you not liking it only means you dont like it, not that everyone should agree with that. I mean some hate bagpipe music, and some love it. Like what you want, and dislike what you want, and let others do the same.

Yes, and let's also stop pretending they're bad just because they're old.

I can think of no counter to your flawless argument, you have bested my argument in every way imaginable, and it was an honor to witness. I am truly humbled, and bow to your logical genius.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you

I never heard that Rhianna song until now but I don't know how it was ever overrated.

People need to stop pretending old games are still good. What may have been considered good 30+ years ago is painful to look at and play now. Time to retire those nostalgia goggles.
