YouTube recommendation algorithm showed

YouTube recommendation algorithm showed me a "Remember One Direction?" video. Fuck you, YouTube. I remember New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys, and get the fuck off my lawn.

I will also accept Grand Funk Railroad and The Monkees.

The fact that the Spice Girls never showed up in my mentions says something about cultural memory...

I can't believe One Direction is considered passé as long as youthful social media site Tumblr still has discourse about why it's wrong to ship Louis and Harry.
