I used to listen to this song over and over. I had it on casingle, and I remember one day forgetting to bring another tape so I only had that to listen to. There's something 90s as gently caress, making sure you brought enough tapes for that long rear end car trip. Getting stuck with that one mix tape you recorded off the radio is not fun. Though something I wish i had had back then, podcasts. Like god drat driving from Nova Scotia to Boston or Washington would have been bareable if I had a bunch of Greatest Generation, Talking Simpsons or Flop House to listen to. this was something else I listened to a lot. After getting the Album, they had a lot of songs about how big their dicks were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9F5xcpjDMU

Did this with both cassettes and CDs. Big piles of em. Also I like the aesthetic of hip-hop videos from that time. Look at this gospel dude being hip which I casually saw on a Christian channel while looking for something interesting to watch on my grandma's satellite receiver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzaLqn2Qtgo Negostrike has a new favorite as of 17:06 on Dec 29, 2018 |

Big CD wallets that could hold 20 or so albums - the most 90s thing I can think of.

There's a 90s videogame ad for some jrpg that was a two page spread. It had a house with an overgrown lawn, newspapers in the ground, a dog that's all skin and bones laying in the grass. The message it had was the jrpg would make you forget life. I can't remember what the game was though. I want to say Shadow Madness?

Everyone I know who was old enough to drive during the 90s has a story about loading 50 or so CDs into one of those giant binders and then having it stolen.

Negrostrike posted:Did this with both cassettes and CDs. Big piles of em. Yea I'd have piles of them made for trips. Cassette cases were really annoying to take around because they were so bulky. CD wallets though were much better. But then I didn't have a portable cd player until 2000, so all the cds I had I copies onto cassettes so I could take them around. And yea, Rap and Hip Hop videos before the bling era had a real feel to them, then we get tons of high production expensive cars and krystal being drunk videos.

My wife did, except they took the time to browse through the thing and pick the albums they wanted. That's so dim I'm amazed they didn't get caught, if not for that then something later down the line.

I've been nostalgic for the 90s over this holiday break. Are there any decent documentaries on Youtube that distills this thread into a single video?

Knew a guy who put a PC with a cartridge-style pentium II into the trunk of his car just so he could play music off the hard drive. Ran it off an inverter and wrote a script that would immediately load up winamp with a randomized playlist. It was okay. If he hit a pothole the thing would reboot.

I knew someone who did the same thing with a similar setup, iirc. 15 years ago I thought it was the coolest thing to have all those mp3s on the go!

It feels to me like cars don't get broken into nearly as much as they used to. Like stereos getting stolen isn't really a thing anymore. With alarms, RFID tags, engine locks, the decline of aftermarket stereo equipment, no one carrying easily pawnable CDs anymore.... Last time someone broke into our car was almost 15 years ago and all they got was the change in the ashtray. Fuckers. If they'd knocked on my door I'd have given them more than that just to avoid replacing the window.

Break ins are as much a thing as they always have been where I live. They're not stealing stereos anymore, but they're still after sunglasses, loose change and whatever else is in a car. Lots of tailgates being stolen off newer trucks and last week a guy was in the news because someone stole the entire hatch off his hatchback.

Back in 2002 someone stole the hardtop off my sister's 1991 Suzuki Sidekick because at that point, the hardtop was worth more than the car itself. She had to use the summer softtop in the middle of winter in Northern Ontario. That was not a fun winter.

Just took the money i had for tolls, left my gps and headphones.

A few years ago I forgot to lock my truck one night (parked in the driveway behind the house). A couple hours later I went out to my truck to see two teens go running from the vehicle with the interior lights on and doors open. They tore the glovebox and console apart and threw stuff everywhere. They made off with a broken iphone 4 (wifi only, cell capability poo poo out) but chose not to take the 200 cd book sitting on the rear floor or the stack of dvds stuffed in the seat pouches. 10 years ago those discs would've been gone for sure.

Care break ins are incredibly common in San Francisco. Breaking a window is very easy.

When I owned my first car - a Ford Contour - I was gifted an in-car CD changer. It was trunk-mounted and held 10 cds. When I wrecked the car a few years later, I opted not to try to salvage the CD changer.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/annehelenpetersen/how-empire-records-became-the-unlikely-film-of-a-generation I always liked it, even if it's not necessarily a good movie. Always thought it was trying way too hard to ape indie movies about slackers than a big corporate thing like wayne's world.

There was a story a month or two back about a local San Fran news team doing a story about the rash of car break ins. While they were inside interviewing a victim the news van was broken into and they stole about $20k in broadcasting equipment. Edit: Sure it's current events but the irony involved is 90s as gently caress.

I remember kind of liking Night At the Roxberry. I had to look up the Empire Records soundtrack, and its kind lame, in that way mainstream rock was in the 90s. Lots of soft rock stuff with an image of being grunge. Edward Collins is an exception. Gin Blossoms? Really? That's the kind of music you hear at the grocery store. I has nothing on like Trainspotting, Singles or even Romeo + Juliette.

One interesting one is the soundtrack to The Last Action Hero because it's like the last gasp of 80s hard rock. The biggest hit single from it was a Def Leppard song. I recently rewatched some Todd In the Shadows videos from a couple of years ago and in one of them he mentioned that grunge didn't just clear out hair metal; it also did away with a lot (not all - R.E.M. survived and thrived - but a lot) of pre-grunge alternative rock.
