This is a fun read, and a perceptive one. I can't figure out how to quote only 4 paragraphs, so I hope you'll read all of it. These are the sections it's divided into:
1. We’re getting older, man, and I don’t like it
2. I’m not the only one addicted to my phone
3. Everyone knew all the words. I mean everyone
4. It was a nostalgic overload
5. No One Knows What Liam is Saying Between the Songs—and That’s Okay
