I no longer have any device capable of playing or even reading CDs, but I still have mine on the wall as if I built a shrine to how much of an old fuck I am π

Rip, upload, seed forever. Itβs the only way to repent.
R'amen!
I still have mine at my parent's house. Probably a mix of music and PS2 games.
Music and PC games in my case, pun intended π
That's the original Fallout from 1997 near the bottom π
Recently I went and bought a vinyl, cd, cassette player. I busted the cd wallet out of the closet and bought a bunch of cassettes and vinyls at the flea market. It makes listening to music more of an experience, instead of just background noise on my phone

Just the other day, I wanted to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. Then I realized I could literally talk about the 90s like "I tied my hoodie around my waist, which was the style at the time".
In my version of the 90s it was a flannel shirt tied around my waist
I miss wearing short-sleeved graphic tees over long-sleeved white tees. Everybody reminisces about the '90s flannel shirts but I feel the dual tees thing was more representative of that era.
Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.

CAN'T WAKE UP!
Wake me up inside!
Save me!
Call my name and save me from the dark!
Still blows my mind that they're a Christian rock band.
Sure you're not thinking of P.O.D?
You know, "Instead of a test, I took two to the chest" was definitely an eye-opening lyric for this Canadian to hear, Christian band or not.

Look it up, Evanescence is a self-proclaimed Christian rock band.
They're not explicitly a Christian rock group, and not self-proclained. Amy Lee and Ben Moody met as teens at a Christian youth camp, and Christian radio loved to play Bring Me to Life because they thought it referenced the resurrection.

I remember having a cd player that could play mp3 cds in my car, that was great. Music for hours with no skips or having to swap anything
Fancy people had like a 10 cd changer in the trunk
I drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I'm able to play music from my phone on the car's sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.
You could go on and get a chip that has aux output and bluetooth input so you can have that extra bit of convenience.
But it's still bullshit to remove a feature on a phone.

Oh god. Iβm the grandpa now
It'll happen to you!
You just quoted a line from an episode that first aired last century.
I recently got a second hand DVD with a Wii game on it, and for the first time in many years I found myself wiping down a disc with a microfibre cloth. I actually cleaned it like 4 or 5 times before I stopped getting errors, which makes me wonder if there were discs from the 90s that I could've saved that way. I never realised it might take that many tries.

I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that's what you did with things that were made of that binder material.
I still have 3 CD wallets like that one full of CDs, DVDs and PS1/2/Dreamcast games.
I had a big cassette organizer. Later CD wallets.
CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.
We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in.... whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.

Literal Roman DVD goddess.
I hope the asshole that stole my CD wallet from my truck years ago is in a better place in their life now, but I'm still sore about it.... Fucker....

Mine has all the games I can't buy anymore
The only thing that makes me feel old here is that I don't think anyone remembers what the title of this post is referencing, the war of Man vs. Machine.....
