The coolest answering machines had a remote control, and you could call your home from a pay phone and when the machine picked up this remote would go beep boop boopand your answering machine would play back your messages.

You could also punch in codes on push-button phones! It was like being 007. It was always really easy to delete a message and then you’d get dumped because you ghosted someone but you didn’t even know. — Choire Sicha

Millennials, who came of age with the Sept. 11 attacks and the Great Recession, are anxious, which may explain the current CBD craze. Generation X, who came of age eating microwaved burritos and watching “Gomer Pyle” reruns while Mom and Dad were at the office, were depressed.

Enter Eli Lilly’s magical green-and-white pill, which was introduced in 1987, but became almost as defining to the gloomy 1990s as that other pill — “the pill” — was to the sexually liberated 1960s. Elizabeth Wurtzel and loads of other 20-somethings became citizens of Prozac Nation. Eventually, people started to murmur about the drug’s potentially dark complications, including sexual dysfunction and suicide. At the time, though, the biggest crisis this chemical-smiley-face equivalent posed was one of generational identity: If we children of the 1990s could no longer brand ourselves as sullen, nihilistic Kurt Cobain clones, what in the heck were we? — Alex Williams

Different bree of WOAT.

  • Want so badly to live in the 90s but shyt themselves with the thought of 56k modem
  • Want so badly to be accepted, when the music from them always talking about commiting that
  • Want so badly to fight the power but forgetting what made the OGs from the past represent black unity essential
  • Want so badly to pull a picture of dudes dressing like hookers in the 80s to deflect how shyt their dress code is
  • Want so badly to down previous lifestyles when in reality they would lose their shyt without the smart phone

We came of age in the 80’s seeing Jordan in his prime and the crack era. Went to high school in the early to late 90’s and had to survive without much tech.

then we had to adapt to the ever emerging technology just to keep up in the workforce competing with the next gen.

a lot of us who made it to our 40’s have either established a foundation or still holding on. We seen it all and been through it all :salute:

Draining the wallets of a generation.

genx-cd-logo-900.png

The greatest scam the music industry ever pulled off — well, hmm, one of the top 12 scams the music industry ever pulled off — CDs drained the wallets of a generation, starting in the later half of the early ’80s, with almost no tangible or long-term benefit. (Except when Prince released “Lovesexy” in 1988 and it was all one track and you couldn’t skip songs. That was awesome.) A very few CDs became cool dresses, and the rest became coasters and trash. And an entire generation learned to never trust again. — Choire Sicha

That's the best physical format ever made. There was a reason they sold as much as 1 billion per year, cassettes and records never reached those levels
