      I’m not sure people in this thread get the significance of the song. If they don’t remember 1997, they might simply be taking the song title literally

      Personally, I’m optimistic that things will get worse at a slower rate.

        Isnt getting worse at a slow rate better than getting worse at a fast rate?
