16 Nostalgic Moments You’ll Relate To If You’re Radio Generation

Remember those days when you waited all day long for your favorite channel to go on air on the radio? Bad signals making the buzzing noise was so annoying but we can’t hear it now even if we wanted to. Let’s go back in time for a moment and think about the peaceful-slow days with radio.

12. But when you finally won the radio responsibilities, it seemed like every ?? single ?? station ?? decided to play commercials at the same time.

13. It was an unwritten rule that AM was talk radio for your parents and FM was for the cool kids.

14. Nothing felt more empowering than the moment your parent let that explicit song keep playing.

15. And there was no joy greater than hangin’ with your homies when y’all’s song came on and you were collectively all like…
