For all the issues that fucking state had/has, it really nails it when it comes to ambiance and feeling like you exist.

Yeah, it is such a silly thing to complain about, it has absolutely no real affect on any of us.

But fuck, I feel bad for my nephews, who will never get to experience that mystique.

The very fact of this thread is proof that this statement is completely false. The affect is deep and profound. It sparks the soul. It speaks to the essence of youth and the dire need of age; both long for beauty and beauty should forever win out over this awful age.

I disagree that it's silly. It's the sadness for a situation that will never return. Like smoking sections in resturants. Looking forward to sitcoms on a specific night. Sitting near a lake or ocean at night just to feel the breeze. So many tiny things that kids today won't experience for a lot of different reasons

I really do miss the era before cellphones, where, as a kid, we would have to meet up at a specific time and place.

Waiting close to a train station as a 13 year old, at a specific landmark near city hall...

If they didn't show up, what happened? Did they miss the train? Did I give them bad directions? Did they get distracted?

How long should I wait for them? Should I wait for them at all? It wouldn't be cool for me to wait to long. Or should I shout out there name, so they know where I am?

I miss pre-cellphone problems.

It struck me, but I didn't wanna non sequitor in with it. I had no idea what city pop was when I was in my teens and 20s. But it so accurately encapsulates that era, those places, that time, those experiences, that it's like audio fine wine now for me
