ive read that 5 times now and i still cant make sense of it

Definitely the internet that ruined that scene and not, say, the 1994 Criminal Justice Act.

Aye, we made our own entertainment in those days and were glad of it.

the look-back bores were out in force in the 90's as well. There seemed to be no club you could go to for a night out that wasn't shite these days and had peaked in '89. And apparently the overpriced ecstasy from the late 80's was so much better than the adulterated rubbish we were necking as well.

I really miss the days as a DJ when you didn't have to be a media king , you didn't care about your billing on a flyer, you didn't have a rider, no one knew what you had for dinner and no one cared about how many followers you had . All that mattered was making people dance

"I miss being 20"

the weak actually was heroes back then a course

sad that he hates grooverider so much

"and we danced" is my favourite. The internet put a stop to all that

clubs today nothing but kids shazaming the sound of the other kids shazaming, a sorry state of affairs

there was a contract between dj and clubber - they played the tunes, we danced to them. these days it's never that simple. there are more tunes for one, and more djs. yes, it's music, but is it really music? are you really dancing to it?

time was when we'd drive around the M25 for 8 or 9 hours in my mate's Citreon Saxo until we got a text identifying the location of a rave going off in a field somewhere just south of Corby. then we'd drive up their in the dark with a tape full of tunes banging on the cassette player. today it's all Google Maps and USBs and air conditioning. these kids aren't ravers.

I hear you and your band sold all your turntables and bought guitars

A commentary in La Stampa spoke of a "cancer that corrodes the internet". The young man who took the selfie was not bad, argued Antonella Boralevi. Instead, he had turned off his soul and his personality and become an "automaton of the internet".

lol RTed that thinking of this thread

A "fort at night" rather than "fortnite"

I mean, quite literally, “fort night.”

It’s a simple reminiscence, but one that delights me more the older I get. We adults, in a failure of imagination, have forgotten how to build forts.

proud of the smell of his own forts id say

I remember a time when a pop star had a name you could pronounce

kids be goin' places

My favorite version of this: nearly 20 years ago I was given the New Yorker Book of Food and Drink (whatever the title), which contained a bunch of stories from the magazine about food in chronological order of appearance. I swear every 10 years there was another story by a classic NYer writer about the death of French cuisine and that the current version was but a pale reflection of the classic cuisine of 20 years ago.

They'll be banning the dictionary next

We’ve been handing out bibles for almost 40 years. For the first time in my life I’m asking myself this question - I wonder how long it will be before this book is cancelled? I know it may seem like a silly thought but it’s really not. It’s just a matter of time. Frightening! pic.twitter.com/ikiDaHfDq5

Eating in it 50s sounds miserable

Assuming this is the UK, was there really no outdoor cooking? No BBQ?

eating raw fish was called poverty

none of us had ever heard of yoghurt
