>>11437078Zoomers have no culture to ever be nostalgic for so you may be the generation that finally dodges it.
It’s not the product or the place people actually care about, it’s human experiences that are linked with them.
When everything in the world is free, able to be pirated for free or purchased from a button and sent to your home, it makes everything feel basically the same. There’s no value attached to experiencing it. The zoomer brain, buried under that biracial broccoli cap of hair will never have the same attachment to things as every other generation.
I’m objectively aware that music i listened to as a young person was shit. It was produced on the cheap by people who weren’t very talented. It probably drew negative dimes. In order to purchase that music? You had to go to a concert. You had to track down some independent store that specialized in just that stuff, jump in a car with friends and go on the hunt for it. You had to trade tapes with other people with similar interests. Get your hands on a mail order catalog that would expose you to other stuff that was similar. If I listened to the same album today I wouldn’t actually care so much about the product, it would be nostalgia for the other things. Same thing for any other product or service back then, the cost and the process injected it with SOVL.
