I agree, but I'm surprised it's had endurance, as I literally have not heard it since 1998.
I didn't check out of the main music scene until around 2002, but even then I wasn't hearing it. Maybe it later had a resurgence and is staple in some areas? Regardless, hit me with that type of nostalgia that at once reminds me of something mundane and meaningless, while also slightly annoying, but also the overwhelming sense of loss for a time long past, along with a generation that has gone sideways, and the ever encroaching fear of death.
Good songwriting, anyways.
