Anything you look back on fondly that hasn’t aged well?


Another Fan

Recommended Posts

As a kid I loved the DARE program in school.  It was cool to me hearing a cop talk about all the dangers in drugs, just say no…..  He was a cool guy from what I recall.   I’ll just leave it as I think the program was a bust overall looking back.  
 

But i still think fondly of it.  Anyone could relate?

I was never a huge fan, but it seemed cool at the time, but Metallica studio tracks haven't aged too well IMO.

I think Creedence and The Doors are relics of their era….also The Cars.

I have third degree burns from this hot take.  Three of my favorite bands.

 

To answer the question I grew up loving to collect tapes and then eventually DVDs. I have very fond memories of going to Suncoast or Media Play with some extra money. Needless to say those haven’t aged well…

I’m with you on these. I do like Nirvana, but always preferred Alice in Chains when it came to Seattle grunge.

 

Yeah, Im a Nirvana guy, but it isn't aging particularly well.  

 

Alice In Chains on the other hand is absolutely brilliant and gets better and better.

To build off what the OP posted, Nixon’s “war on drugs” didn’t work out so well, did it?  I’d say we lost that one miserably 😁

 

 

 

 

Is it officially a loss when you’re still fighting ? 😂

I think we’re just fighting a war against different drugs now.  Weed, cocaine/crack, and psychedelics kicked our ass, so we gave up on those ones.  Now we’re very unsuccessfully fighting against the opiates.  🤔

Much more difficult to fight when doctors are the biggest dealers.

interesting take. i think its bc metallica is really the band who 'started' thrash metal which would made kill em alls production unique. i still like it though

When I got seriously into listening to music in the mid-70s, I began to worry how far my favorite LPs would last; frequent playing tended to increase background noises. Thus, I got an AKAI reel-to-reel recorder and taped my LP collection. Using the tapes to listen to the music worked well for a while, but after several years I had to realize that that the sound quality of the tapes had deteriorated faster than that of the (now rarely used) LPs.

It probably was a bust for some people and other people probably took it more seriously

 

Then again I did have friends getting wasted at middle school dances 😆

ESPN

This is probably the best answer so far. With all of us being sports fans to a certain degree, ESPN was the go to place for information back in the day. I remember watching the top 10 plays every day. Now that there's so many options, they're irrelevant.

I thought it would be impossible to ***** up ESPN juggernaut of the 80s and 90s- but Disney did the impossible.

I had an ESPN 2 hat that was the envy of my buddies back in the day.  I wouldn't wear that today if you paid me

***** you Disney for ***** up ESPN!

I'll add MTV

 

I have a great idea to pitch to executives- a 24 hour station that plays sports highlights and live sporting events.  And a 24 hour station that plays music videos and concerts

 

its so obvious to me- both would be huge successes today imo

 

and while we are at it, a 24 hour history channel that only plays historical documentaries

 

am I genius or are TV execs that stupid?

Mariah Carey, man did I ever have a crush on her back in the 90s.  I don't even think I liked her songs, I just watched her videos so I could look at her.  Now, I don't think I've paid the slightest bit of attention to her in decades.

I had this state-of-the-art skip proof Discman for my killer CD collection. Top of the line audio player for the time.

 

I remember getting it and thinking how  sick it was that I could walk, run, bike all around listening to my music in transit. Now everyone does it. 
 

btw skip proof my a**
