1985 - You're a teenager who doesn't understand old people yet because you're in the prime of your youth and you don't have hard nostalgia. High School Never Ends - You're stepping into the adult world now. Getting Old Sucks - You're now the old person, but instead of being stuck in the past you accept that everybody grows old.

i'd actually put 1985 in the middle, because you've stepped into the adult world and you're not quite old, but you're recognizing all the signs that you're no longer "kids these days" but you're not yet saying "kids these days". I think a better timeline is: Stacy's Mom (cover) Girl All the Bad Guys Want Almost High School Never Ends 1985 Getting Old Sucks I bet we could make an entire narrative story out of their music of a boy and girl growing up in proximity, not getting together, and hating their lives as adults

Proof that not everything old is a classic. A category I fall into. I find it hilarious when people are listening to covers and either not realising it is a cover or remembering a previous cover when I am remembering the original. One recent incident was seeing White Wedding being covered by MurderDolls. Someone declared it wasn't a Billy Idol track because he didn't write it, not considering most bands don't write their stuff. I liked the original version but my tastes have gotten a lot heavier with age so the cover is more me now. Aparently we are supposed to mellow with age. I have to be the oddball who gets more messed up as I age. The good news is people seem more OK with angry old man than angry youngster. Though I do get accused of trying to be down with the kids for listening to newer tunes on occasions. The irony that I wasn't down with the kids as a kid let alone at nearly 50 years old is not lost on me.

Very few bands can get away with never fundamentally changing their sound. Maiden and NOFX spring to mind. But Bowling for soup definitely fit into that category too.

[@danzanubush4186]

AC/DC: putting out the same exact song and selling out stadiums since 1973

[@namethestars]

That old adage if it ain't broke.. it's why Maiden is still my favourite because they know their base and stick to what we love. Same for Bowling for Soup, I love that they stay with what they are comfortable with which is why I have such a soft spot for them 🙂

[@DanielTrombley31]

I turned 38 this year. This song was made for us geriatric millenials...

[@PhoenixPilot]

“Alright… i dont think we can do bridges anymore. We need a break.”

[@richieherlinger4545]

That moment when you realize you completely relate to this song! The best summers of my life were 98-2002, and then boom, the fact that those summers were 20+ years ago hits like a ton of bricks.

I liked the flashback to 1985.

where?

[@daltenmartin7641]

I’m 19 and I just started listening to these guys what happened to music like this it’s fucking great

[@user-jn1wm3tb8v]

The funniest part is still being young and listening to this band, knowing you too will get old.

[@cornetthomevideos3089]

Proof good music can still be made

[@BugsyFoga]

Muppets meet Bowling for soup !!!

[@El_Kap044]

Why do I feel this way in my late 20‘s? And wtf is Tik Tok?!

[@austinvanderveer213]

It's because culture moves by really quickly nowadays, and it's guided more by zoomers than millennials at this point. Plus, we're in a shitty time that makes us think more fondly back on the time when it was 2006, we weren't facing our second big recession in the span of a decade, and God wasn't winning a game of Plague Inc against us.

[@El_Kap044]

@@austinvanderveer213 real shit. Couldn’t say it any better.

[@ThreePointEightNineTwo]

Turning 19 this year, i know im not old by any means, but this is exactly how i want to feel when i do get older. I want to look back and when i ask myself, "Was everything that happened up until now to get me here worth it?" I want the answer to be yes. So far, going strong. Love yall.

[@BugsyFoga]

This song most definitely gives me the early 2000s feel I've been longing for quite awhile .

[@torylonzo867]

This song was awesome, and it made me remember of my pops. He took me to see yall in Austin 5 or 6 times when i was around 13-15 years old. Im now 32 with 2 kids of my own. My pops passed away in 2017 when he was 48. He would have had this jamming in the car for sure, haha. Thanks for all the memories, boys. Really enjoyed the tune. Keep rockin 🤘

[@kayhawkins9761]

Need a Karaoke version of this !!!! New Greatest thing about growing old is that I lived to hear this song made!

[@alexlyons2201]

Dude I am so happy this band is still active online and does all the things they do lol

[@v8wr253]

I don't think I've really heard a song like this--it's not lamenting getting older, it's not holding on and living in your youth...It sucks, but it was worth it and everybody's doin' it

[@jubylantk]

This song is such a love letter to BFS fans

[@anthonycorrales]

Talk about a band that matures and expands. I love that Bowling For Soup grows and ages with it's fan base. I like "What's My Age Again", but I'm far from 23yrs old and can't relate. lol. So I hope they keep rocking out into their 50's and beyond.

[@tomiwaaina5499]

0:22 right out of Phineas and ferb xD

After all they did the theme song for that series

[@itschrisperry]

This is by far one of the coolest home made music videos i have ever seen. Huge credit to the artists behind the puppets/video.

[@sarahockerby8611]

I'm 7 I know every word. We used to run wild in the streets now we complain when cars drive to fast and the music is insanely loud🎸🎶🎧

[@cornerstore298]

im 23 and i love BFS and their music. this song has the 2000 vibes in it and its super awesome. They still got it! You guys should make more songs like this. I'd prefer this type of music than this generation's music, seriously. BFS ROCK!

[@carmadefries3729]

I'm 50...I feel this. 🤣 Honestly, 50 is my favorite year so far. Hang in there. 😎🌱

[@MAVERICKHUNTER666]

I may be getting old, but hearing Bowling for soup still making great music in 2021 makes me feel young again :)

[@parsleybeckett6335]

all the comments are people in their 30s going on about how they loved this band when they were a teenager, im seventeen and a huge fan... mum come pick me up im scared

[@ashleyswift8798]

39 here lol! I grew up to Good Charlotte, Green Day, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Papa Roach.....well you get the idea. My kids are 9, 17, and 20, they were brought up on all these bands I listened too 😊

[@MatthewShinn-io4ki]

I listen to this once a week to remind me, the truth is getting old sucks but everybody's doing it.

[@ThreeToesofFury]

An anthem for those of us there from the beginning? So in. Also, the use of muppets for a video about being old is brilliant! Love you dudes...keep on a rockin and rollin!!!!

[@christianLrojas9600]

1985 to high school never ends to this. Ain’t always about getting hits they have catchy lyrics

[@SpottedHares]

Getting old sucks doesn’t mean we have to suck at getting old.

I ADORE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! BOWLING FOR SOUP HAS ONCE AGAIN WRITTEN GOSPEL AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Please keep doing this when youre all 195 years old

[@Biggie-Slimes]

He grew up three blocks away The same old neighborhood Spends too much time on his lawn When there's no football on Where did the time go? What's that on his face? Always thought we'd live forever I don't think we're up for that Get to bed by 9 p.m. We used to run wild in the streets now we complain When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud Now our tattoos are fading away And looking back it was all worth it The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it We're worked at all the same jobs We chased the same girls We played in all the same bands Each other's bestest man You had a heart attack I've got two bum knees We don't wanna live forever What the fuck is TikTok? Golf checkers, bingo, dominoes We used to run wild in the streets now we complain When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud Now our memories are fading away And looking back it was all worth it The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it All right, I don't think we can do bridges anymore We need a break Smells like Werther's Original in here And Old Milwaukee And Foldgers Are those New Balance? We used to run wild in the streets now we complain When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud Now the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit That was better when we played our music too loud Now our memories are fading away And looking back it was all worth it (and looking back it was all worth it) The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it Everybody's doing it Everybody's doing it Everybody's doing it The truth is getting old sucks But we're doing it right

This is the pop punk anthem of the 2020s

[@okmobilemechanic]

Turning 52 next month, still blasting BFS. This song is going to the top of my playlist while mowing my yard.

[@TomMcMorrow]

At 33 I feel this so hard. Midnight energy drinks and video games have been replaced with a glass of water and bed at 10:30. Taco Bell for most meals has been replaced with salads. Smoking weed has been replaced with.... Okay maybe I'm not ready to grow up all the way just yet! 🤣

[@kezlou87]

Man, this band just messed with my head lol I instantly went to dig through my CDs to look up around how long they’ve been going (thinking ‘2001/2002 sounds about right for their first album...’) nope lmao I’ve just aged from 15 (the year drunk enough to dance was released) to 33 in 12 seconds 😂😂

[@rebeltexan2814]

Video games will never be replaced.

Try 46! I would LOOOOVE to be 33 again!! Lol.... but yes i absolutely agree

Don’t give it all up your still young man!!! Just stay active and you can do anything really.

I turned 40 yesterday. Thanks for the hymn!

[@sambillingsly63]

I really hope the band sees this comment (although I doubt they will) but god damn I fucking love this band. Its by far my favorite band, and It’s the only one I’ve ever wanted to go see in concert. I started listening when I was starting in highschool in 2014, and I’m still an avid fan coming up on my 21st birthday. It’s the only band that can cheer me up when I’m at my worst time (especially the song I’m Gay as I grew more comfortable with my gender and sexuality). I know 20 seems young to a lot of people but I’ve been really worried lately that I’m not doing as good as some people my age. With all the bat shit crazy stuff happening in the world, it makes me feel like I’m failing. Again, I know I’m young, but ‘Getting Old Sucks’ is something I can relate to a bit. Thank you guys, sincerely, for making another song that makes me feel good, inspires me, and fucking SLAPS. Now... off to working on the 10,000 essays I have due for finals. Cheers!

[@bowlingforsouptv]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@SteelCurtainGaming]

They’ve been one of my favorite punk rock type groups since the early 2000s ... IT WAS NEVER A PHASE

[@johnny5fingers0966]

Dude don't compare your life with other people. It's pointless. Instead just be the best version of you that you can be. Work hard to achieve your goals and to ultimately do what makes you happy. That is what matters. Everyone has their own path with highs and lows. Just try to make yours the best it can be. Good luck. I believe in you. And I bet I'm not the only one that does. 🙂

[@zenithd.7177]

In my late teens/early 20s, I loved BFS. And now I'm coming up on 40 and damn do I feel this song. Especially "always thought we'd live forever/I don't think we're up for that." Getting old does suck, but like the song says, it's worth it. And it's cool as hell to have one of my fav bands growing older with me. All the love to BFS and may they keep rocking til they decide to hang up their instruments and take it easy.

[@danbrown4420]

"WTF is TikTok" Hahaha, this is too relatable...
