i think dial-up tones gave me a little more autism everytime i hear them but I still love the sound

>does anyone else feel a huge rush of nostalgia for inaccurate hollywood depictions of a scene I wasn't alive to actually experience
>does anyone else born in le wrong generation?

reddit

no because that shit predates early home internet by five to ten years you retarded millenial, stop feeling nostalgia for things you didnt actually experience
and using the internet on shitty dialup was ten times worse than it is now

I never said I was a millennial.

I'm not >>61573419 but I agree that you sound a little out of touch with what things were actually like.

If you're really into that stuff and have a good attention span, you might check out the long-ass documentary BBS by Jason Scott, the same guy who made the text-adventure documentary Get Lamp.

I for one am an Xer (born in 74), and grew up with a C64/128. Dialing into CompuServe was definitely not "the internet", though.

I understand the exaggeration of hacking in popular movie culture, but my point was that whole "retro" sub culture was nostalgic to me. Thanks for the recommendation.

Forth gives me the ultimate sense of retro hacking because it ran on the earliest oldest computers with the smallest ram and was basically a teeny unix in disguise

In order for it to be nostalgic for you, you'd need to have lived through it, and it's fairly obvious you didn't. You're not alone, though. There are certainly a lot of you, and you all have pretty obvious tells. For example, I pretty much use "vaporwave" as an instant tell that you probably weren't even alive in the nineties, let alone any time prior. The "recollections" of the late seventies and eighties by people who didn't live through them is, well, just fucking weird. It just is.

I'm really not sure why a bunch of younger people are pining for a time they weren't around for, but I'm willing to bet a lot of it is an attraction to a made-up "aesthetic" image of the times that wasn't actually the case. All that said, like what you like, I guess. Just understand that absolutely none of it is rooted in reality.

>retro" sub culture
There never was such a thing.

Not him but I was born in the mid 90's and think vaporwave is the shit, St. Pepsi in particular is awesome

Every generation has a group that yearns for a better time.

My dad listened to big band music from the 40s while growing up in the 60s.

I was born in '95 and I'm nostalgic for the 80s/90s.

i was 19991 and i think vaporwave is coool sometimes

>>61577116
>19991
Nigga, you're from the future. Of course you think ancient relics are cool.

>>61577284
You completely misunderstood the post.

I said 'coool', cop slang for "effective in chilling anarcho-transhumanist mobs". 19991 was my precinct. Vaporwave is what we do to protesters.

Sorry, I'm not from the cyberpunk dystopian end of the country.

This is the best bait I've seen in a long time.
