This is still an amazing piece of work.

Newfound relevance, though...?

The heading sounds like it was written by a Zoomer who's never heard of the Cold War.

I mean "newfound relevance" implies that it was relevant in the past and is so once again. Things can be relevant more than once.

It was relevant before.

It wasn’t relevant for the longest time.

It has gained newfound relevance in our new age of nuclear brinkmanship.

Your comment sounds like it was written by someone who lives under a rock and doesn’t read enough.

I mean you’re the one having trouble understanding the term “newfound relevance.”

The song was relevant when it came out during the Cold War.

But an entire generation listened to this in the 90s and 00’s and the concept of nukes dropping was a relic from the past.

That’s no longer the case in 2022. Hence the ‘newfound relevance.’

I can’t believe you needed to have this explained to you.
