Vinyl was already cool again way before 2008.
Also, 2008 was the era of loading up iPods and the like. Spotify as a phenomenon is much more recent.
Also, USB?
Now that I think about it, just about everything in this meme is wrong…
Lol some clueless zoomer made this
OK boomer
I assume people buy Vinyls of their favourite artists as a kind of poster (which also physically contains the music)… not to actually listen to it.
I consider it a way of actually supporting them. Sure I listen to them digitally 99% of the time but they get such a small cut from that.
Where’s the mini disc???
One genuine point owed to retro hipster music formats though: you can’t DRM them.
I’m sure you could come up with a way of recording binary code on the vinyl that could only be played back as music with the proper encryption key.
INB4 they start encoding it as dialup modem sounds.
Cd’s was not really a thing in 83.
Source: Im old.
You’re right. This post appears to be closer to when the tech was invented vs when they became mainstream. CDs were invented in 1982 but usage really didn’t take off until adoption in the 90s.
Back in the days when the slightest breeze blown in the general direction of the CD player would cause it to skip.
Nothing really makes sense here.
Cassettes weren’t big until the eighties and cd’s were nineties. USB? Sure, maybe. Spotify didn’t become available for the US until 2011 (I waited patiently for that). And vinyl has definitely been coming back for quite some time now.
Usb got big in like mid-00s.
We were still using CD players till 2005. I remember somewhere in '04 or '05 when 128mb mp3 players went rampant.
Flash drive? More like a iPod.
Zune or bust
Microsoft, Nov 2006: “we finally launched an iPod competitor” Apple, Jan 2007: “standalone MP3 players are the past, behold the first multitouch smart phone” Microsoft: “the Zune comes in brown”
I had that Creative Zen, thing was thick
I had the Creative Zen Nano lol. It acted like a USB flash drive too if you needed it to.
Cassette tapes are also sort of coming back. There are modern ones are both USB compatible and compatible with old cassette players. They exist mostly for the market of people who own old cars that don’t have modern radios.
Lol, this is off by decades and Spotify is away now popular than records right now
We are still in the era of Spotify?
What are you using?
Spotify and trying out Apple Music.
Somehow for the majority of people yes. Despite them still being the one of the few services with no hifi
