My 16 year old Self & Music
I was digging through some old boxes the other day and I found a blank CD. For poops and giggles I threw it into the laptop to see what was on it.
This wasn’t just a CD but in fact, an insight into the musical taste of my 16-year-old self.
I used to have a job in a kitchen and on Sundays, I had to clean a function kitchen the day after a wedding or party. Left alone, would put on various albums and sometimes make my own mix CDs. Judging by the music on their, I’d say this was when i was 16, some I still like, other stuff, I did cringe a little but.

As you can see, I was mainly into classic rock, I had long hair and wore a leather jacket. But you can see a trickling of indie, which I was just getting into at the time and one song of novelty hip hop.
Most of the songs on the CD for me are still great, but yeah, your only 16 once…..
