Well, hip or not, reading the article brought me back to my early teenage years, sitting in the living room, listening to "Escape" on my parent's turntable, and sporting those HUGE white headphones. I recall that this album and Foreigner's "4" were what I listened to at the time.
Of course, my taste in music changed and grew over the years. And yes, even at that young age, I could smell the cheese in Journey's lyrics and music. However, their music was built well, and it still catches me on the hook (or hooks).
So don't hate, people. Accept the fact that you liked this music once (or forever), and it still brings you back to a moment in your life. That is what good songs always do.
