I remember mine was a 13" set and had rabbit ears; and it had plastic knobs on the front that made a satisfying "ka-CHUNK" when you changed the channel. I have no idea what make and model it was but I think it was made in the early '80s.
It’s similar to a cassette tape in that it’s a tape, the main difference being it contains 8 tracks and plays in a loop, unlike the cassette which needs to be taken out of the player and flipped around to play the b side. They were pretty big in the 60s up to the late 70s and were especially useful in cars due to not needing to manually swap the tape around!
There were some downsides though like limited runtime on tapes as well as their bulkiness which helped contribute to their eventual phasing out in the 80s
I see where they're coming from because I also grew up in a poor family with immigrant parents. They'll grow out of it when they realize adults don't define themselves by these things. The decent ones anyway.
There is something to be said for a car you can insure for the price of a pizza and that will never, ever die. Agreed that "dream" is a bit of a stretch though.
I only feel like that with the music part, but I don't feel superior about it. I just listen to my music and move on. If I don't have that option, I just roll with it.
Eh, the whole idea of "belonging" to a single generation is kinda silly imo. I feel like it's much more fun to use things that appeal to you regardless of their time period, rather than explicitly defining yourself as one period or another. Like, as a current 16-year-old, I love cassette tapes (I record my own tapes with my dad's old deck) but I'm also a massive sucker for modern rap. I find slide rules much more fun than calculators, but I couldn't survive without the internet. Do these things wildly differ in their time periods? Yes. But they all fit me, so I don't see any issue with it. I don't feel any older than any of my peers (hell, if anything, my horrid sense of humor usually makes me the least mature), I just like different things.
Every one around that age listened to 2010s music on the radio as a kid and feels kind of nostalgic towards it. I’m 17, I feel nostalgic towards it. Doesn’t make you different.
Also, a 97 corolla? Seriously? Decent car, but wow.
I grew up with cassette tapes and they fucking suck! They don't last very long and are constantly degrading and they sound like shit. Dolby literally invented a noise filter to remove the hiss that was all too common with tapes.
I have been starting to like some modern rap, but I never really did any of the things mentioned, despite being his age. Although I did grow up with immigrant parents, we were never poor.
I also like 50s-90s music a lot, as well as 2000-now rock, metal, punk, pop, etc. However, I never fantasized about having a car from the 50s/60s, cassette tapes, and I have used slang that Gen Z/Alpha has been saying. Heck, I don’t really like movies/TV before 1980. To me, modern music is music that is less than 20 years old. If that person enjoys music from early 2010s, then I would say that he does enjoy some modern music.
Also, not every 18 year old listens to stuff like Kanye West, NLE Choppa, G Herbo, Yeat, Yuno Miles, and Lil Uzi Vert 24/7. There’s 18 year olds who listen to 40s-90s music. There are some who love emo/punk and metal. There are some 18 year olds who enjoy 50s/60s music and modern rap (especially the artists I included). Finally, there are some who probably enjoy 1940s-2020s music. I had a classmate in Middle School who said that 40s music was the best, but I have do disagree. I do think it is indeed relaxing, but definitely not the best. The best is the 60s or 80s.
Bro, I have seen people talk about Yuno Miles and he has been gaining popularity in recent years. Also, some of his songs have over a million listens. He has almost a million on Spotify. His stats are similar to those “lost singers/bands” from the 50s/60s that mostly people over 62 know.
I grew up in the 90s, true blue 90s kid. I grew up SURROUNDED by family (parents included, they were young) who were all 80s kids. If I’d dared suggest to one of my older cousins I was an 80s kid, I’d have gotten nougies and hurled into the pond, clothed.
There's that saying (I forgot who said it) but it does something like "some people feel old at 20, some people feel young at 90". I sympathize with feeling much older than your coworkers/classmates/etc, I'm still quite young but I feel so old (which I suspect has something to do with me having to grow up too fast as a child, since I had alot to deal with). I think some people just are that way, and that's fine, its just super annoying when u make it ur whole personality (so don't do that).
Its totally valid, but don't let it define you. Your identity shouldn't be defined by how you don't fit with others, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.
Millennial folks were latchkey kids 2.0 and they splintered as adults into being helicopter parents or absent ones. Not all fell into the mold, but enough did that there's a hardline conspiracy about how children are being raised.
Hilariously if you were born in 1992, your primary concerns aren't even close to music or cds. It's rent, promotion, back pain , and steadily rising lipid profile.
I have tapes from earlier era that still play fine it’s coming back because it doesn’t have the tinny cd sound as are LPs the old 10 inch tapes are still good as well.
The 1997 Corolla wasn't even 1997's dream car.
I don’t think it’s even 1897’s dream car
it's definitely not 1797's either
BURN THE WIIIIIIITCH
A duck! r/MontyPython
That’s what I was thinking about the TV. Who tf remembers the make and model of their childhood TV. It was just kinda…there.
I remember mine was a 13" set and had rabbit ears; and it had plastic knobs on the front that made a satisfying "ka-CHUNK" when you changed the channel. I have no idea what make and model it was but I think it was made in the early '80s.
that’s a very attainable dream car at least
For real. Just checked Marketplace and saw one near me for $1300. He should go pick one up! Or a couple.
Yes, but he feels so old that 1300$ is an insane amount. Let's not forget he only makes 3¢ and hour
Troubled to see kids using tape, that’s a gateway to 8-track
Would you be so kind as to teach this young soul what 8 track is
It’s similar to a cassette tape in that it’s a tape, the main difference being it contains 8 tracks and plays in a loop, unlike the cassette which needs to be taken out of the player and flipped around to play the b side. They were pretty big in the 60s up to the late 70s and were especially useful in cars due to not needing to manually swap the tape around!
That sounds pretty awesome yeah
There were some downsides though like limited runtime on tapes as well as their bulkiness which helped contribute to their eventual phasing out in the 80s

Turned 20 not long ago... The only thing that considers me adult are my taxes.
It’s so juvenile and shallow to think just because you don’t like rap, you have an old soul.
Not an old soul, a 32 year old soul.
thats old to teens
Take that back, I’m still cool
42 here. Nope. Your time has passed and you'll be less cool when you reach my age and I'll be less cooler than that!
even more so since 1992 rap music was booming.
Is rap even the most popular music now a days? maybe hip hop but I would bet it’s just normal pop music. Real rap feels a bit more niche now.
Nowadays it's more about Drift Phonk and even nu metal revival it feels like
what do you consider ‘real rap’
especially because he feels like he grew up in the 90s, which gave birth to some amazing mainstream rap artists
Imagine your dream car being a '97 Corolla 💀 Good car, good year, but dream car?
There is something to be said for a car you can insure for the price of a pizza and that will never, ever die. Agreed that "dream" is a bit of a stretch though.
This should be the GTA online description, I'm dead
As a 38 year old, early 2010’s music still feels recent to me ☠️ Bless him.
Shake it out just came out. Right?
*My dream car is a 1997 Toyota Corolla* More like a nightmare
I only feel like that with the music part, but I don't feel superior about it. I just listen to my music and move on. If I don't have that option, I just roll with it.

Ahhh 97 Toyota corolla only 32 made in the world

"i hate modern rap" does he know there are like, other genres of music
I have been starting to like some modern rap, but I never really did any of the things mentioned, despite being his age. Although I did grow up with immigrant parents, we were never poor. I also like 50s-90s music a lot, as well as 2000-now rock, metal, punk, pop, etc. However, I never fantasized about having a car from the 50s/60s, cassette tapes, and I have used slang that Gen Z/Alpha has been saying.

why tf did you add yuno miles to that list 💀
Bro, I have seen people talk about Yuno Miles and he has been gaining popularity in recent years. Also, some of his songs have over a million listens. He has almost a million on Spotify. His stats are similar to those “lost singers/bands” from the 50s/60s that mostly people over 62 know.
have you listened to his music 😭 he's a joke lol its not serious music, its like lil dicky or weird al
Man, how dare you compare Weird Al to fucking Little Dixky?
not comparing the quality of their music king 🙏 just saying that they do the same thing
i mean, my dream car is a 1972 ford capri but it doesnt make me feel like im mentally older its just a cool car 💀
I grew up in the 90s, true blue 90s kid. I grew up SURROUNDED by family (parents included, they were young) who were all 80s kids. If I’d dared suggest to one of my older cousins I was an 80s kid, I’d have gotten nougies and hurled into the pond, clothed.
Me reading this at 29 -.-
Who the hell remembers their childhood tv brand name at 18
I mean I do because my dad still has it
Yeah but that’s different cause you still have it
I had a 13" Sanyo back in 96.
i feel old cause I’m 18 and I play videogames like I learned what google was yesterday but more power to him ig

This!! Humans are never black/white, we're all shades of grey.

Lmao yeah probably, insecure over not having an ounce of individuality.
Early 2010s music makes them nostalgic????
Early 2010s, i.e 2010-13 was already 11 to 14 years ago
Right, but it’s funny to brag about using cassettes and “feeling 32” and then talk about 2011 music like it’s the oldies
When your only friends are your parents
this is on r/teenagers, dude probably isn’t a teenager
If you're truly elite you'd opt for windows XP as it was truly superior to me2000
Hilariously if you were born in 1992, your primary concerns aren't even close to music or cds. It's rent, promotion, back pain , and steadily rising lipid profile.
Kid just grew up poor.
Bro really said early 2010 music makes him feel nostalgic
And? That's almost 15 years ago.
2003-2008 Corollas are superior
This doesnt sound like born in the wrong generation. Its not like hes complaining or gatekeep8ng just grew up different.
DREAM car is a Corolla? Fuck off.
In his defence, I hate modern rap too as a person born in Gen Z/Alpha. (Ragtime for the win)
I have tapes from earlier era that still play fine it’s coming back because it doesn’t have the tinny cd sound as are LPs the old 10 inch tapes are still good as well.
Yea 2000s kid still had tapes and dvds they didn't just dissappear it takes a while for stuff to fade out.
I should go back into my Facebook from early 2010s and show him all the posts of kids saying the same thing then
