Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun

  I see a lot of younger people wondering why so many people my age liked this or that and it helps to have it in context. Like “what’s so great about half life? Every shooter ever is like that!” Ah, but you see, my young friend, that’s now. Everything is like Half Life because Half Life changed the landscape.

    Basically, the “Seinfeld is not funny” trope (insert TVTropes link and disclaimer)

      To be fair, Seinfeld is not funny. Never watched it live, tried to watch it recently starting at season 1, horrible.

  It’s not gatekeeping, but a frustration about a new generation coming to an obvious conclusion, that they already had.

    Why do people get frustrated about that? Someone is experiencing something for the first time, it’s the circle of life.

    I’m in my mid 30s and my wife bought a record player during the revival of records last decade. Do you think older generations than me found that frustrating? Personally I think it’s fascinating to watch technology go full circle generation by generation

      Interesting discussion to have witnessed as an outsider.

      Is an article written for a a writers expression or a readers enjoyment. (Both?)

      I dont think they where frustrated with the writers enjoyment but rather disappointed that the article was a first discovery opinion rather then a veterans rediscovery from a modern point of view which would have been more useful to reflect their own opinion and thus be more personally entertaining.

        Great analysis, you’re got it spot on there. It’s frustration from learning nothing new from something they thought would be interesting. That probably all boils down to bad the title of the article not being descriptive enough.
