It was exactly that way.... brings back memories, thank you :-)!

Finally posttings that are nostalgic, funny, yet not anti-technology!

We've had all of this.... in the 90's. In Hungary.

Who can forget the phone cord stretching from room to room? My parents use to get so pissed haha the thing ended up stretching out to like 20'

I listened to a song on the radio when I was a kid. Loved the song but didn't know the title. I waited for good 10 years before I got the title. Thanks to Google.

I will always remember fumbling with a paper map while my mother yelled 'is this my exit!?! I need to know right NOW! Is this my exit!?!' 'I don't know!!!' So damn stressful.

Oh my, I don't know why you think it's only for people before 90s - I was born in 1990 and I remember MOST of that stuff <3

I don't feel nostalgic at all, glad those times are past! But I love the fashion in the drawings

Remember when your mix tape would get stuck in your cassette player and all the tape would go shooting out everywhere? You’d sit there patiently with a pencil shoved in the gear..... slowly... winding.... it.... back.... up. Because you were not going to sit there and re-record a new mix tape.

Good god, this one actually gave me flashbacks, lol! I remember one Christmas, we were driving from NC to OK to visit family and my parents gave me an early gift of a discman - I used up every penny of my babysitting money to have enough batteries for the trip because a pair would die about every two hours, lol!

One of my favorite pastimes was finding new electronic music in the '90s, since it was still pretty underground. Radio and MTV left me dry, so the way to do it was to go to a record store, to that tiny little rack in the back that they lumped under 'dance' (regardless of the tempo) and check out the compilation albums. Find an album that had one or two artists that you like, then take the $10-15 gamble with the other ~10 artists. Each visit to the store would take me in a different, unknown direction and led me to develop my tastes by this mystery box approach. It felt like a godsend when stores started adding the stands where you could scan a CD in store to listen to a sample. To this day, I miss the directionless browsing that led me to find my favorite song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydsf_ax1pmA

The most frustrating thing was when you missed something on TV, you had to hope for a rerun or that maybe someone you know taped it... and not knowing the title or the artist of the song. There are still some songs today where I don't know the name of the artist or the title of the song from the past. So today I certainly would not give up all the benefits of the internet/digital era, but those years for me in many ways were better than today. But that's always the thing with changes and progress, we have some great new stuff but also lose some of the old good ones.

How about winding your audio cassette with a pencil, just to save your batteries in your walkman?

This has me in my feelings #90s kid forever

LAUGH OUT LOUD !!! :)

Nice walk down Memory Lane.
