Modern technology is all normal for them kiddos nowadays but for those of us who actually remember the early '90s and the '80s, some of it is shocking. What have you come to miss over the years?

First thing that came to mind:
- The music being unrecognisably deformed by your walkman as the batteries are dying out. :touched::D

Boom Boxes that required 14 D batteries, a forklift to get it on your shoulder, and 3 hours of battery life dying out on you just as you are recording a mix tape.

River taught herself then taught me. Or sometimes she taught me how to play a song then learnt it herself.

Get a friend who can play guitar next time. Atleast at the end you'll have some tunes :D

To be honest, I haven't picked it up in 3 weeks.

Not that the new car has anything to do with it.
Allright, maybe it does.

    Hmmm, ditch a 32K car in favour of a 400.00 guitar.


    Umm, let me see.

    Nope.

    And you'll be surprised how much fun you can have in that car :D

    Actually these couple of things came to my mind - W.A.S.P. were labelled as satan worshippers etc. and Bon Jovi was called metal:D
