This Is Crazy, Makes Me Feel So Old

pretty sure its a skit but it was starting to piss me off

shyt wasnt THAT hard to use. when i was a kid i used to get blank cassettes and tape songs i liked off the radio so i could listen to them whenever i wanted

i read about microsoft looking into changing the save icon because younger people dont know what a floppy disk is anymore

type 2 and IV cassettes actually sound pretty decent, my main beef with cassettes is when the player decides to 'eat' them and you gotta sit there with a pencil re-winding the damn tape back onto the spool... and sometimes it would eat the tape AGAIN

the early versions you had to be quiet or leave the room because the recorder would pick up all sound.

you would hear peoples conversations or floors creaking when you played it back.

before i learned how to dub tapes i would use the mic lol

whats still crazy to me is how you can hear a record player at zero volume through the needle. my dad used to tape stuff for me and on occasion i'd hear him yelling at my stepsister on the tape. pretty funny

Ya I would have two boom boxes
Everytime my fav radio show came on I would put the two boom boxes close to each other facing each other and record songs I liked.
Sometimes I would pick up the recording boom box and move it around to create my own remix live, like if I moved it back the bass and voice would be lower, and closer and it would record louder. That was my way of making remixes


Those boom boxes used to use those big ass batteries and sometimes they would have that white crust around them I think cause of acid leakage

Why would it be a skit?

Do you not have nieces or nephews?

thats how public enemy made the original PE#1 single... two boomboxes. they called them 'pause tapes'



its so easy and affordable to record music nowadays that people dont experiment like this as much. feels like every new song is made on a sequencer and everything sample is right on time.. i much prefer older recordings where the tech wasnt ready yet and the artist had to innovate. the beatles and their engineer invented flanging that way. whereas nowadays everybody shares the same .wav files to the same drum machine! i hate it

because everything is a skit now. and also the youngest looking person in the video was the only one to figure it out. it doesnt make sense within the context OP framed it in. i would think someone with grey hair would know how to load a tape..
