[QUOTE=Cane Corso;41461398]Damn are you guys like 14? I'm feeling old.
I grew up in the 70s. We all wore bell bottoms and toe socks. In high school, the guys drove great muscle cars and we left our doors unlocked. Everybody smoked weed. Seniors were allowed to smoke cigarettes in the courtyard of the high school during lunch and between class. Hamburgers at McDonalds were 19 cents. Gas was 29 cents. My dad would give me four dollars and I'd spent the whole night out on the town in Seattle with my girlfriend. I took my girlfriend to prom in my dad's racing yellow 1970 Buick GSX. If you had a problem with somebody, you'd fight them. All the cool kids soaked their jeans super tight in the bathtub, then wore white t shirts, and a leather jacket over them. Kids were taught respect by their fathers. If a kid was acting out in public, an adult would pull them aside and put them right whether they were your kid or not. Gun crime wasn't even a thing. We had an after school shooting club in the basement of our school. We slung our .22 rifles onto our backs and brought them on the bus with us. In preschool, I even brought my dad's handgun to school for show and tell. There wasn't a single problem at all.[/QUOTE]
um if you're in your 50s then yes you are old

also I think nostalgia may be clouding your judgement
Back in my day you had to go over to your friend's house and play video games there so you could
a: play games coop/vs
b: get the hands on the "coolest and latest" new game which your friend ALWAYS HAD
Back in my day kids liked being kids and didn't try and rush into adulthood.
A fun day consisted of getting milkshakes and playing football in a nearby park.
in my day, we collected Dragon Ball Z stickers from bubble gum, and we kept them in a official album
Back in my day they still sold Dr Pepper and Pop Tarts at the local supermarket.
Get with the program you geezers!
*gets on a swagboard and flies away into space*
Back in my day...
I don't remember.
back in my day, being a gamer was fucking affordable.
floppy disks
vhs tapes
ms-dos
compact cassettes
-snip I lied-

I remember when they were 1 refined
Back in my I did house work to earn time on the computer playing Jill of the jungle, Duke Nukem (the original not 3D), and a demo of Jazz Jackrabbit on the computer. I fought with my friends over who got to be Tommy when we pretended to be power rangers. I actually checked books out from the local library. Animal planet and the history channel were actually focused on animals and history.
Back in my days, nobody had a cellphone, and you being able to get in contact with someone depended purely on luck. And it sucked. 9/10 times the friend I called wasn't home. Huh, I hope he arrives before evening.
Nope.
Back in my days tf2 didnt even have prices on their items.
Back in my day, we took a news paper with us to take a shit.
Back in my day, TV was good.
in my day, music didn't sucked

Back in my day, we always played for keeps.

Back in my day my computer was less powerful in every respect than the phone I have now and fifty times bigger.

Oh believe me, there was bad music in every generation. Everyone will forget the names Lil Wayne and Rihanna in ten years. Just like everyone forgot Steele Breeze and Naked Eyes (Who?)
back in my day i could have 2 bucks and feel rich
