Watching videos over 56k dial-up
Before we were aware of internet history |
ICQ still existing
|
titles for picture-heavy threads on forums starting with something like [56k STAY AWAY]
tower records |
-floppy disks
-Walkmans -TV Guide -1 GB hard drives -Blockbuster -paper maps -no cells... so when you made plans with people you had to agree on a certain time and place, and just hope they met you there. |
kids trying to watch porn through a scrambled cable channel
having to deal with guys who play with hackey sacks that listen to pearl jam pro wrestling being well liked |

90s had lots of speculative buying
trading cards, comic books.... everyone pretty much thought they'd buy some piece of shit baseball card and it would be worth millions someday |
a shitty playlist on napster with like 1 song by each band, and the bands are all things like evanescence and POD. and you listen to it repeatedly over and over, occasionally adding a new song. and for some reason it also has like some internet song like "the Ultimate Showdown" or something a 3dmmer made
