The song "1985" was released in 2004. At that time, the song was reminiscing about a time that was 19 years ago. Now, in 2024, the year 2004 is 20 years ago. Therefore, the release year of the song "1985" is closer to the year 1985, than the current year is to the year the song "1985" was released (2004).
Thank you. That title made my brain hurt.
It took me much longer than I'd like to admit to understand what the title meant. "But 1985 is 0 years from 1985???"
I am not a clever person.

Smashing Pumpkins 1979 was released on their 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Its already much longer between 2024 and 1995 than it is between 1995 and 1979. Almost by twice!
I remember the actual 1979. Egads, I'm old.
2024 > 1985
FTFY
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
