Well, you first have to prove that you are worthy of being a “yo-yo boomer.” First of all, your eyes have to be mostly or entirely square from standing too close to a CRT TV as a kid. Next, you need to have at least 36.2 gray hairs, more is acceptable, less is not. Next, you need to tell a group of meddling kids to get off your lawn, this is a rather trying task in the age of technology. Once you have completed these, you must take a string oath, and swear that you will honor the No Jive in all you throw. After all of this, you may wear the title of “Yo-Yo Boomer.” This all may seem rather terrifying… because it is, after all… _bein’ old ain’t fer wimps._ ---

Yeah tbh, that might actually be worth it. Modern tape players are garbage. If I am not mistaken, there is just a handful of companies now that produce the tape transports for all the modern machines and they are… not made well nor do they use quality components. Vintage is the way to go to get the most from your cassettes. Here’s a video that touches on the problems with the modern cassette decks, linked to the part where he discusses this.

I got no problem with the cassette players, they are a phenomenal piece of equipment, the cassette tape, on the other hand, was one of the worst formats for playing music. The only thing worse was HitClips™ ---

I was all in when the Mini Disc came out. Napster hadnt been sued… It was a lot easier to make “Mixed Tapes” drag mp3’s to a file. Drop on the disc. With the release of the IPOD, Zune… Poor Mini Disc didnt stamd a chance. ---

I recently modded my old ipod with more storage (and a new, non beat-up shell) and have been putting all my CDs onto it. I stopped having a cd player a few years ago, but i never stopped collecting cds. Its been a really nice change to just using Spotify and just seeing whats new, now i can listen to older stuff i enjoy on repeat without distractions ---

Ah, yes, I love listening to 1/3 of a song because that’s all the clips storage could muster 🤮 Truly, the best way to listen to songs 🤢 @rkalajian / @Pun1sh3R I never got into minidisk, old enough to know what they are, young enough not to be able to buy them, however, had I bought into the, I, for sure, would have gone all out with them. I truly am the worst trend picker. 1. I thought HD-DVD was going to take off ❌ 2. I thought Zune was going to hit big (not iPod big, but I couldn’t afford them anyway, so, naturally, they sucked) ❌ 3. I thought the vinyl revival was a fad (in fairness, it is kinda dying off again, so I wasn’t technically wrong, but it’s dying off because the record labels are taking mad advantage and upselling at about a 150-300% markup; greedy corps) ❌ I’m sure there’s other losers I’ve picked but those ones definitely stood/still-stand out However, HitClips, for sure, were never a pick for me, not that I didn’t enjoy them while they lasted.
