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

What is 'city pop'?

Sounds like a suburban Mid-Westerner referring to a hobo drinking a 40

Ah, he just drinking that City Pop

Do you want an example in the original japanese, or some of the newer english translations?
