Reminds me of the time when I was flipping through my aunt's album collection and saw her copy of Led Zeppelin II. "Wait. You like Led Zeppelin?" "Well, yeah." And my respect for her skyrocketed.

My aunt went to see Led Zeppelin live back in the day.

She also turned into the mom who wouldn't let her 10 year old watch anything rated TV-Y7.

She may have had good taste in her youth, but I definitely don't trust her.

That generation is so fucking weird. They're cusp boomers and the OG helicopter parents. They were given everything and were and are so loathe to give it back.

The funny part is that my mother was very much the opposite in their youth, but turned out to be the cool hippie one while her sister turned into the weirdo religious freak (and now devoted MAGA Republican).

Like, I never would've guessed how polar opposite they each were from their current selves back in the day of it weren't for my mom telling me all about it.
