That's why millennials are the GOAT. We got the best of both worlds, from putting coins in pay phones at the bus stop to all the shyt we got now

Pooping on your head :umad:
Spotify and Fmoviez type of sites is one of the best things about modern day technology 
Imagine trying to watch a show like the Sopranos in the early seasons where it tells a story over the course of a season rather than stand alone episodes
If something comes where you couldn't watch the most recent episode live 
As a kid I ate GOOD off the bootleg man when it came buying albums, even then two albums would cost you 10 bucks, about the same as an monthly spotify subscription in 2025. Some bootleggers had 2 for 5 deals but
And even then, they only had the most recent albums and random mixtapes available to buy. Couldn't buy Illmatic or IWW from the bootleg man in 2005 for example

I feel like it wasn't hard to understand the limitations of previous generations when I was a kid.

Wait until they learn about dialup
You were not pressing play and record you were unpausing the pause button after play and record were pressed hours ago.
Made us appreciate our music so so so so much more.
I went years without hearing songs I knew existed and loved just because that’s how it was.
You youngins will never experience what it’s like to hear a song you’ve been fiending to hear, but had no way to, for the first time in years.
Better than sex.
Especially if you loaded in the club.

Wait until they find out how to bus their tracks down to a two-mix on a four track to get their demos out.
No monitors so the mix wasn't properly EQ'd.

We definitely had a greater appreciation for music. Having damn near the whole history of music at our fingertips is cool but getting an album used to feel like an event when I was younger
And wait until he hears about how you would record TV with three different VCR systems.
A breh felt like a low tier God when TiVo came out

It depends on your age. Are you a late 20s early 30s Milennial?

Mid 30s it’s just something I didn’t really do
Man it took work back then to find your songs. Even downloading music, you were risking viruses and that56k modem. It’ll take like 20 minutes to download a song. Before mp3 players you had to burn cds. I remember md players were popular at one point but you had to play the entire song to record it. And if you didn’t have cable tv, the only other place I saw music videos were public access tv channels.
