i'm on the last season of sabrina (melissa joan hart, not the netflix one) and MAN is it aggressively early aughts.
@evistre Wow, that's a blast from the past for sure.
@Tail it's been great. highly recommend. lol
@evistre I can scarcely remember it, or.. most of that time period for that matter.
May as well take a trip back there to freshen up.
@Tail do it do it :)
@Tail penn and teller are in the first season btw.
@Tail rupaul is also somewhere. i don't remember. maybe 99.
@evistre Were those really close to '00? I remember them being in the 90s'ish, almost surely before '99.. But I was born in mid 80's so idk.
@Tail it's all wibbly-wobbly. i was a kid at the time too.
@Tail as much as i've been chronically online for a good chunk of my life... i do miss the internet not being absolutely up society's collective ass 24/7.
there's a reason i'm into tapes. lol
@evistre I'm diggin' that bop!
😎 👉 👉
I miss going to peoples' houses just to see if they're home and that was normal. I miss being perfectly content without a phone. You would switch from being online to offline at will and it was easy to keep the two separated. That's impossible today.
It was around '96 or '97 when I really just embraced the internet full on. It's been my life ever since, but I'd be so much happier if it weren't such an important tool.
@Tail yep similar. i just want to turn it off sometimes. all the way off.
@evistre I've got the luxury of being able to do just that and it always feels really good. But it never lasts long.
@Tail but can you imagine it going totally down?
like when facebook oopsed. except all of it. for a day or two maybe.
...although maybe not. i bet qanon would go nuts.
@evistre If the entire net went down, civilization as we know it would erupt with violence. I feel pretty confident about that.
@Tail probablyyyy.
i need better locks
@evistre Some people have never had to flip a cassette over to Side B and it shows.
@Tail i've seen a few videos of kids having to figure out walkmans and i... nope
@evistre I remember in 7th grade I had a Walkman that when it skipped it would say SORRY and that just blew my little mind.
I miss flipping floppy disks around, can't even remember the last time I touched a CD.
@Tail whaaaaaat. how polite!
i use tapes a lot more than cds.
@evistre My favorite tapes were Weird Al and the Space Jam soundtrack. One of my earliest memories is me jumping around on the bed jamming out.
@Tail lol some of our family friends were soooo into weird al - space jam era i was more into the sound of music and spice girls.
@evistre I went big into a Spice Girls phase myself, haha!
My dad was a musician and technophile so I grew up around lots of instruments, music and Apple PCs. What a time to be alive.
@Tail dig it :) i've got the 25th anniversary spice cassette in the mail... emma edition. aggressively pink. dang texas is holding it hostage though. :(
my parents were pretty techy too but a different variety. they got me into napster. lol
@evistre Man Napster was IT. Burning CDs for people at school for a few bucks, good times.
I was surprised to learn Napster is still around. Just.. legal.
@Tail yeppppp
weird times
@Tail i don't miss being a kid, but here, a bop for you. charli was a kid in the 90s too. she was born in 92. i wonder how much she remembers?
Charli XCX & Troye Sivan - 1999
