I've been seeing more and more of "this [album] turns [year] today" pieces of late. Is it more a case of an easy way to generate content or the sense that we're regarding music/culture in the past tense now? I assume it's more the former, but can't dismiss the latter.

It's just clickbait nonsense. "Thing from your adolescence is old now. You are old now." Yeah, that's how the passage of time works, AI generated "article"

Just for conversation's sake—because I largely agree with you here—there is a presumption that there's an audience for this, that wants to relive the past in this way. Is the present/future stagnant enough that someone in their 20s wants to celebrate something from their adolescence? We all go into consolidation mode as we get older when it comes to culture, but it's unsettling if "older" is getting younger and younger.

Its like a that album you may have liked and maybe owned at one time is now X years old and you can probably buy it again or maybe for the first time and show it off at your next party so we can sell more over priced vinyl that will maybe get played once.

I need the internet to tell me when we hit the 25th anniversary of Crazy Town's The Gift of Game.

I initially read this as 25 anniversary of Crazy Train and for a moment thought I was much younger.

There is a good chance he already knows then the 25th anniversary is.

Among the worst Boomer qualities, it's the inability to know when it's time to get off the stage.

Finally made this pilgrimage. Im a bit disappointed by the scaffolding.

I had a memory of the Rush comp I bought in college having a music video collection and there being some terrible in the mix. I tried to find the video, but it turns out all Rush videos are horribly bad:
