There's more to the story!
FP Edit: Wow that escalated quickly!
To address the few people who actually mentioned it - the title of the post refers to the models in the photo because they come from that ‘dead meme’ some time ago.
Also, for the overly concerned people - when I was a child I predominantly listened to the then current music. Right now I appreciate the pre 2000 music more.
Sorry if I made you feel archaic.
Second edit: Please go ahead and recommend me music that makes you feel better, or is generally close to your heart.

I'm an 'old soul', born in 80s but never fit in anywhere. I'm satisfied with timeless instrumentals, soundtracks, and traditional choral.

So if you have trouble finding good music from modern artists it's because of an attitude not modern music. I was talking in general.
