    There were actual listening stations with headphones here in Germany at certain media chains. Some people spent whole afternoons in there.

    But yeah, the opposite did exist. I remember, when I was a teenager friends got a dozen or more CDs for their birthday. Good old 1998.


  • The 2000s were my favourite decade, from beginning to the end. I missed them as soon I realised they were over, which was probably around 2013, lol.

    Interesting enough, I was far happier last decade, but compared to the 2000s the 10s were forgettable.

    I remember buying my first mp3 player and years later my first iPod. It was so freeing waking through the city while listening to music that wasn’t on a clunky portable cd player. And the music was so great, from Indie Rock to Nelly Furtado.

    The political climate was… interesting. But the post 9-11 terrorist-scare-years seem now somehow simpler then the political situation today.

    And the internet was great! Pirate bay, tons of interesting blogs altogether with the beginning of YouTube. I loved it.

    In my experience nostalgia for a decade arrives in society about 10 years after + a few more. But I‘m already here, waiting for it.
