My assumption is based on the fact that we played only the latest songs at funkies. Self Control was released in 1984. If that song used to shikisha your funkies - assuming that y’all played the latest hits in your high school funkies, then… you were in highschool in 1984. Which would make you old - by any standards.
But now that you assert that you went to high school in the 90s, I guess y’all did things differently.
