I don't miss dial-up internet, I just don't. I don't even like the sound because it's just digital screeches and it's a sound that makes me cringe a little upon hearing it. Because I remember the times when I'd be listening to music with headphones with volume high and then that fucking digital screech just blares into my ears.

I don't miss waiting 30 minutes to load a page. I don't miss a bit of it.

Vaporwave... It was cool for like 2 minutes in 2015 but it got old very quick. Just get any 80s song and slow it down on some free audio software. In a lot of ways it could be seen as a precursor to other trash like nightcore or breakcore.

Nightcore way predates 2015

I remember those old Alvin and the chipmunks versions of songs you used to get on YouTube. They were similar

Nightcore existed since like early 2000s. Huge scene when youtube just became a thing. Vaporwave came at the very least in 2010s, when lofi experienced a burst of popularity

I wish it stayed cool longer only because I didn’t care for it at first but then really got into it around 2020, but by then the genre was already dead.

About the timeline, i attended breakcore parties in the 2000s, vaporware may be related but as a far descendant, not a precursor

'Breakcore parties' sounds like the worst thing ever. I'll rather go to a P. Diddy party

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well it certainly wasn't an event to attend while sober.
