Inquiry:
What's the statute of limitations on songs you should hate but love anyway? In other words, how long before nostalgia becomes an acceptable factor/excuse?
I have a copy of "My Heart Will Go On" complete with clips of dialogue from Titanic. The movie came out when I was fourteen, and I saw it for the first time when I was fifteen (for my birthday!). I am now twenty-six. Is it okay to admit that, due to fond associations, I love the song and always will, or should I keep my mouth shut on the subject for a while longer? What about Ricky Martin's "La Vida Loca," which came out when I was roughly sixteen? When does it become okay to embrace songs (or other forms of media) that become victims of tremendous backlash?
