It’s 2019 and we still have a working VHS player with a whole bunch of tapes to watch!!!
I finally got rid of the VCR that was in my RV
My mom had a victrola that we restored...even had a few thick acrylic records we would play...it was fun. we kids would take turns cranking it up.
so do a lot of people lol you'd be surprised
Same with me
I do
Why does she make it sound like Blockbuster was such a drag? Saturday nights were Blockbuster night and we always looked forward to going there!
Yes. It was an event and a social gathering (a real one).
I was working at my local Blockbuster when it got shut down. 🙄
because she's reading a script written by several angry homosexual men.
I personally loved Blockbuster myself my dad use to get me N64 games from there
Yes in the Southern California area I was checking out a lot of Blockbuster store
Don't you hate when someone watched a VHS movie and didn't rewind?
Blockbuster would fine you for not rewinding.
@@josephgaviota I remember that. As a kid I owned a few Star Wars movies on VHS and my brother watched them too and always forgot to rewind
Yeah. I sure did. Rewinding was a courtesy.
Scene selection BLU RAY AND DVD PLAYERS VCRS NONE.
RIP Blockbuster- The last time I went to a video store was early 2015. And when they announced that they were shutting down, we actually got to keep some of those movies....
"Children today don't recognize vhs tapes"
I'm 15 and I have a VCR in my bedroom
I'm 12 and own the thirteen install floppies needed for Win95, and the 5 install disks for MS-DOS 7.
I am 12 and I have a heck lot of VHS tapes and vcds and 2 typewriters
Kids nowadays won’t recognise what the hell is VCD
The graphics quality is worse than VHS
Ah! But do you know what a UMD [Universal Media Disc] is?
I remember a time when RUclips didn’t have a million ads every five seconds. Good ol days
Yeah me too i remembered when youtube have no ads back in the late 2000s to early 2010s.
I remember when I didn't have an ad blocker
Yeah , can we bring that back you tube should not have adds anyways, that just dumb
@@coreyhill681 sadly you have to pay for that feature, I will admit, its worth the money not being able to see an ad every 10 seconds. But I do miss it where copyright wasn't much of an issue and literally no ads.
Actually, I only encountered a single ad in the middle of this vid. There are other YT vids that have ads every 2 or 4 minutes (abruptly cutting off the vid, unlike TV ads)--ridiculous.
And in 30 years, kids will be laughing at our stupid smartphones and slow internet and tv's with a screen.
So true
Chris Ward And we will be laughing at what the future gives them.
@@cckiller0053 i was born in '92 and i'm jealous because i wasn't born in the 2000s.

@@cckiller0053 why would you be a deformed baby?
Without old tech, there wouldn't be new tech. Seeing the evolution of it all is amazing.
Ron C: when I did my MS, there was no Internet.
Time really flies when you look back at it
You guys make going to the Video Store sound like such a tedious chore. I loved going there every Friday night, checking out the VHS covers and new Nintendo games
IKR
Ditto for me it was like the library I actually attended.
Only children 6 or younger wouldn't know these things.....

I remember this being stamped on VHS Tapes when you rented them
"Be kind please rewind!"

And you were on your game if you had a VHS rewinder!! Lmao!! Ahh the good old days
There was an entire Jack Black/Mos Def movie based on that. Which they referenced in the video. Which i own on DVD. Ok ByEEEEE!
Same here. I loved the VHS
+Patricia Busch My wife & I got a VHS rewinder as a gift one time, and still have it although it's been years since it was used (or the VCR for that matter).
I'll never sell or throw VHS away. I will keep them as treasure and artifacts.
You should
i'll give ya tree fiddy for them
That's where the quality content is anyway.
My family had a bunch of old disney VHS tapes, but my parents sold them to someone. I miss the vhs tapes, cause i watch "the land before time" over and over again, but the one thing i didn't like was the stuff you'd see before the movie, but at the same time there was no menu to worry about cause the movie would just play
Yes, and many of the lesser-known movies and "geek/nerd" titles (like old documentaries and educational/instructional films) aren't even being re-released on DVD, anyway. Just like you should save your favorite phonograph records because a lot of the music-album titles aren't being re-released on CD.

"I feel bad for people in the 90's" I'd be like, I feel sorry for your kids being addicted to your phone screen!
Raven Uchiha I'm 15 and it sure seemed better back then. Still I am thankful
Tiberius Bear I'm with you even the movies it was the golden age for the cinema
The 90s was a great time to grow up... I wish I was grown up in the 80s rather than born then.
I totally agree the 90s and early 2000s were much better
I wish I was born 20 years earlier!
I actually miss video stores.
Same.
art deco There are two video stores in the town I live in. Family Video and a Mom and Pop store called Total Entertainment.
We have actually one Film Rental still left in our country and just in my home city (or town). What a luck!
@@Make573 you still have a video tape player?
@@DR1V3R117 Frankly i do, but unfortunately i can't sell or do anything like that fot hat piece of iconic iron.
1. Because it is STILL in operation condition and i + brother uses that to watch old flicks and tapes what we recorded when we were younger.
2. It an integrated part of the television itself, making that as a TV/VCR- combo.
3. It is located on mommy's house, so she keeps that in condition for us to use.
As for film retal, they don't rent VHS-tapes anymore, but DVD's, BD-dics, 4K- dics these days.
As a 90s kid, I clearly remember all of these things.
my grandparents had a rotary phone in the basement for the grandkids to use. we used to call and order Pizza and it was always a task. the number was 330-300-900. it took like a half an hour to go through all those zeros. but I still remember the number and the local comercial singing the jingle with the phone number. lol. just mow much things have changed in such a short amount of time.
to be fair, as a self proclaimed 90's kid, you are not a "kid" anymore. I think this is aimed at kids born after 2010.

I miss Blockbuster so much. Icon of the 90s.
it was a great way of knowing which movies to torrent
@@MsLia32 Torrenting in the 90's? You were an absolute madlad. It literally took days to download a movie on dialup, and you couldn't use your phone the entire time. Time remaining: 2d 6h
@@Fermion. they had torrents way way back and they took days to download.
Also they had blockbusters until atl least 2010
@@MsLia32 I know, that's around the time I got into anime torrents. They were unintentional weekly episodes lol.
I remember Blockbusters too. By myself, I made a beeline to the game section.
On a date was simple. Just get the most popular movie there. If it's not in stock, just go down the line to the next most popular.

+Holden Roth I work in one.
+Holden Roth me too. In the 90's I loved going to the obscure section that had weird unheard of movies, and picking out a few just based on the cover. I discovered so many cult weird movies doing that. Especially weird low budget campy horror movies.
Kid today call them Netflix
We have them in England
How about encyclopedias, think anyone of these kids today know what they are? Just a thought.
How about the comment on Rowan and Martin's Laugh in " Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls". What are they referring to? Not to mention what is Laugh in.
Does anyone remember how many different companies there were? Compton's, Britannica, and Funk & Wagnalls are the only ones I can recollect without looking it up. I count 3
The only type of people who will use any of these item are the hipsters.

Amen!
Glad you agree. I wish I could go back in time, to relive my childhood!!
in the time Im in growing up all kids in my class do is talk about fortnight
@@ryantartaglia7029 Ok.
Agree
I remember all of these. If kids were confused by these, they’d really go crazy trying to understand party lines. Yep, when I was a kid, we had to share our phone line with someone else.
Or you could try to talk to your parents about getting you your own phone line 😁
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess
these are. I’ve been interested in technology for a long time. Not only that I actually own some of this stuff. Including: VHS Tapes and a VCR, Floppy Disks, Phone book, CD book or smthn idk what it’s called, Walkman and Diskman and at something at your age you probably don’t even know what a WATCHMAN is!

I have manual rolling windows in my truck. Friends kid had no idea what it was for. Told him to turn it and he was looking around on the dash waiting for something to happen. Cracked me up.
My dad had an S-10 P/U with ALL the "modern conveniences". 'power window'(same as yours)... 'power locks'(your index finger)... tachometer(your ears) ... 'pwr steering' (your arms)... AND POWER BRAKES(your right thigh!)
like to see a 16YO kid drive something like that today.
@IHaveSwatches Mobile gymnasium.
@@keithlowe1982 Must of been a very early year S10 to not have power steering and brakes. I had a 1982 (first year production) and the PO had installed a power steering pump but I still didn't have power brakes. Though lack of power brakes on that small of a truck wasn't really an issue lol.
@@UberStarFkr '88 maybe '89 Work Special model.
Also, forgot to mention Cruise (right ankle)
@@keithlowe1982 Ah ok, that year would've been more likely to have those options until you mentioned its a "work special" model lol. Aka was used as a service truck at one point so had literally the bare essentials lol.
I remember watching movies on a VHS and renting movies from blockbuster.
Billis Lopez join the club so do I
West Coast Video in Sicklerville (I think it's now a beauty supply store and a paint store, right next to King's Liquors) was our first store (it closed when I was 3 or 4), and Blockbuster right across the street from the first store was my store from 4 to 11. I'm planning on visiting the Bend, Oregon, store, and I'm considering opening my own store.
Same here. I was disappointed when Blockbuster went out of business.
My mom and I would go to dominos and order pizza then walk next door to blockbuster or a rental store and get a movie on fridays. Man, those were some simpler times. I'm 19 and I already feel old as shit
It was a treat to have a "movie night" when I was a kid/teenager.😁
I remember waiting a whole week to get pictures developed.
Also weekends renting VHS/DVD's with your friends and arguing over what gets watched first was the best. Those where definitely the days
I remember when Jack Rabbit at the mall started their one hour developing service in my area. I was like wow, I can get my pictures developed in an hour while I shopped. I had a Polaroid One Step camera, but the film was cheaper for the 35mm camera and the pictures turned out better.
Yes my sister worked at one of those I asked her,” isn’t it a long process to do??” She said yes they were still using film and it was at meijers, so for any Michiganders out there who know what I am talking about.

+Lukas Paskalskis Yeah (sub me) what an idiot
Who writes this stuff? VHS was not "aweful in every conceivable way". Its what we had at the time and for the time it was AWESOME. Thats like blaming Edison for inventing a crappy old fashion phonograph. Yes we have had progress since then but we should EXPECT nothing less than progress in this society.
And seriously, lets not even act like the digital age hasnt given us a fair amount of crap.
We have much better ways of watching and recording video now than with VHS tapes. But when those machines first came out they were amazing... it was like a time machine that worked for TV. There were sitcoms or movies that were on overnight or during my workday that I could never watch, but with my new top of the line VCR I could record them all and watch them when I chose. I paid $900 for my first one and felt it was worth every penny.
My first VCR was a Quasar that used really weird big tapes that cost about $15 and could record up to two hours. Not cheap, and the machine itself was very primitive. The pause button was mounted on a wire and it would only pause as long as you held down the button. It had click TV tuners and the timer had hands and a clock face... you set it like an old alarm clock.
Alan Sands I'm very happy with the fact that I still have a functioning VCR. Of course, I bought it from a yard sale
DeVon Taruex Yes they are. some of my tapes are 30 some-odd years old
Definitely concur with you Alan. B. 1987 and still have VCR, well VCR DVD combo and the VCR part still works great. I have a video store load of childhood videos from the 90's and late 80's and love watching them and thankful I can still can with that wonderful invention. Love both video and DVD and I resent people dissing the classic technology that we had back in the sweet old days too. Another thing I miss are camcorders and recording on blank tape and taking pictures on actual cameras. I miss recording tv shows I miss during the day, and making home movies, and taking pictures that I could keep forever in a pretty album not just on my cell phone. The technology back in these simpler times were, or at least for me, did a better job of bringing friends and family together.
My VCR only retired very recently. Besides: video cassettes didn’t have that region code crap.
I actually miss renting movies. It made watching movies at home special. I remember many nights growing up when my friends would spend the night and my mom would take us to Blockbuster so we could pick a movie then swing by and get a couple of pizzas. Such fantastic memories of being a 12 year old in the late 90s.
tbh I preferred video rental stores than Netflix. cause with Netflix you need credit or debit card. while rental stores you could pay cash.
Torrent
showbox bro
why don't you just use Netflix on a game console or online you don't need a credit or debit card like what you're still old school because you'd rather go to a old school movie store then to use Netflix on a game console because with the Xbox 360 and ps3 and ps4 you get to use Netflix and stream a bunch of movies and shows
I preferred blockbuster because you only had to pay for a rental and not a monthly if you don't use Netflix for a month for some reason, you essentialy pay 8 bucks for nothing. That and if ever wanted to try a game before buying it I rented it there. Something I no longer am able to do.
+Glen “Ghblunty16” Howatt Agree with you until one point. Because back in 2009, when I wanted to rent a PS3 game from them, I needed a credit card to do so.
"Quick think of your siblings phone number"

Call me old (hi, old!) but I still remember my childhood home phone number, my grandparents' old home number, even my best friend in school's number. Sadly, no siblings.
Yea, my brother is little so he doesn't have a phone.
If you grew up poor you remember all your friends having DVD's and all the newest movies and you were stuck watching Liar Liar on VHS. Ah the memories
Yep
+CKL EVERYTHING HEY LIAR LIAR WAS A GREAT MOVIE DAMMIT!!! lmfao

+CKL EVERYTHING Heck, when I was a kid I had to wait until a movie came on network TV...then had to sit through all of the cuts and commercials.
Gameboy: When I was a kid. I found out that no one can beat the score that I had playing Tetris. Because you can't reach 1,000,000 points, only 999,999.

You know that 'kids' that were born in 1995 are 20 currently.
Annnnnd?
I think they are talking about kids born in 2005-2016, what you said makes no sense
or 21
i remember renting movies from Netflix back then
I can confirm that
Since I was born that year
If you're gonna mention phone books, you should also mention road maps vs gps.
Dizzy Dee yes. plotting out a course before the trip. I remember being my dad's copilot on long trips. you had to pay attention or you were screwed.
Dizzy Dee MapQuest too
Dawson, not those kind of maps. Those are probably a map of the zoo right? They were talking about city and state maps.
What's a Gps? Is it like a book full of maps?
Back when I used to tell my mom which street to turn on while she drove and I was in my car seat at 7 years old
I miss the old days. You had time to live in the real world. People answered when you called them. And every little thing that happens wasn't immediately broadcast.
That is why I avoid social media. Also kids do not need a smart phone. It is good to be informed but not stuck in siber space.
There was way more privacy....for sure. And not everyone was competing on a constant like on FB....or just comparing there life with others, due too Facebook.
@@bloom2939 And if somebody didn't like certain media, they just woudn't watch it. They wouldn't go around bashing it or insult others just because they DID like it.
I mean, it depends how old and what exactly you mean but sure
@@hackman669 Hell I got my first phone (which was a smartphone) when I was 20, the rest of the time I had to buy phone cards for the pay phone (I grew up in the 90s)
The narrator is describing each example with such agitation. For me, It was an honor to grow up in the 80's and 90's. Humans actually connected with one another. It was a time of true community. Btw Everyone I knew looked forward to going to Blockbuster at the end of the week.
Amen, born in 1983 and am beyond grateful to remember when the world was sane
Lets not forget the overhead projectors that were in every classroom

I miss VHS tapes so much. I'm now super nostalgic and I'm 18 only, and I'll never forgive my mom for giving our VCR to her friend :(
Thrift stores are your friend
You can still buy them at Saver's thrift store.
I just bought a vcr at savers. I hope it works ! LOL
I don't know why but the :( face get's me every time XD
thinking about the tapes brings back sooo many memories it makes my cry if have kids I'll tell them about the tapes VCRs and all the good stuff they had even on fucking previews those were so much more lively and I lost them all in a move me and my brother were heart broken
VHS wasn't THAT bad
EremikaHaven yes, yes it was. A laser disc was a million times better. Betamax was better, too but people are stupid.
You must have simply had a crappy VCR then
VHS was the bomb actually. Every movie had a soul on that. But movies were so much better back then as well, that's why we fell in love with the cinema in the first place.
VHS is awesome. I still buy them, and have even waited to watch movies until I could get a tape due to the quality (the three Matrix sequels, the Moroder version of Metropolis, The Terminator, Pink Flamingos, and the unedited Star Wars trilogy). DVD sucks, and besides being a haven of special features, there's rarely a DVD that I truly enjoy. Blu-Ray is pretty epic, basically the current equivalent of a laserdisc, but I don't think anything will ever beat VHS. Frankly, if I had my own movies coming out, I'd push for a VHS release. It wouldn't just be an old-fashioned VHS release, it would be a wholehearted release, just like the ones I grew up with. While sometimes VHS can be a pain in the ass during rewinding/fast forwarding and when the head acts up, it's still way better than DVD and digital. And yes, Betamax was better, but to truly get the better quality, you'd need to mod your VCR, since Beta I and HiFi stereo were never on the same unit. And yes, laserdiscs are also epic.
I still use vhs, and I'm fine with it
In 30 years our tech will be laughable, too. Most of these items were current in the 80's and the 80's were a lot cooler and more fun than today.
80s, 90s, and early to mid 2000s when this tech still existed was a lot more fun and cooler than today. Kids these days have it way too easy and boring.
@@chris_h1990 i am the only teenager in my class that loves the 90s and 2000 more than 2021
Kids these days don't want to play outside like us in our 40s up did. They want to be on laptops iPads, tablet and the damn smartphones of today. You don't see a lot of kids riding bikes anymore unless they want to go to the gas station or friends out of the neighborhood. It was so damn cool to look at all the video rentals that came out each week and going to multiple video rentals places. Never thought you would go to a video rental machine and request a DVD with a card and not catch. Since I graduated from high school in 1994 there has been way too many changes that I never thought of. I used to record cartoons like crazy from the 80s and 90s then, still have some of them old recordings you can find on RUclips yet. One is a program from 1987 about the Titanic it's called Treasures of the Titanic when they first brought things from the ship.I have it on VHS recorded. But can't find it on RUclips or anywhere else yet
but the problem is that transistors are getting too small so quantum tunnelling might happen
@@gregory6798 kids dont like to go outside more nowadays because they can access more fun stuff and talk to their friends without having to go walk 400 miles in some cases

My parents had cylinders that worked on a victorola so sounded terrible, also reel to reel tape recorder much bulkier than cassette recorders.
Oh yes. When it came to recording your favorite songs on audio cassette. You’re lucky if you were able to catch the song at the beginning, had good reception, and the DJ wouldn’t interupt before the song ended.
My dad has a few cassettes in his truck that still work
I'm 11, and watch VHS tapes daily. Not because my parents are poor, because I want to! LONG LIVE THE 2000s!

Pagers are still used for emergency services as it provides a quicker notification over text messages which often get delayed. Vinyl is making a comeback as the younger generations are discovering the unique sound of vinyl.
I had a job where I had to be on call and had a pager and that wasn't too long ago. But a lot of people in the medical and social services field still use them.
@@cg0825 And the reason is so that every "Tom, Dick, and Harry" can't have access to their cell numbers... and this includes the fellows and interns who are working under them!
Oh, excuse me. I guess in today's society I should probably add a "Suzie and Sallie" to make it socially correct now -- you know, with the rampant feminism, gender (bender identification) equality, SJW, PC police and other "squeaky wheel" activism that is prevalent in today's Western Cultures.
cg0825 my husband works at a VA hospital and he uses a beeper. He's not always on a computer for their instant message system. It's better than a cell phone because they all have the same beeper and they can't miss them/or silence them and they can't go on fb or anything on them lol and ya what someone else said, you don't have to give out your personal phone number. Also, doctors still use faxes to transfer records. They can't always transfer via the internet because they are still on paper files. I have had to use a fax to send papers to gov agencies because they want a hard copy of the info or they don't want a digital copy.

I actually remember everything shown in this video from back in the day. I'm so old! Lol 😆
They forgot when Netflix was mail ordered.
Tiffany Whitaker Pretty sure they still do that. If not, they definitely did up until a year or 2 ago.
Still have it
Yo I saw my older sis start doing that back in the late 90s. It would take like a week to get to the house lol. But patience wasn't nothing but a thang back then.
I've never had netflix or any streaming service.
Spiccolo how tf
I still have my VHS reader and use it perfectly!
VINTAGE RULES!
sameeee
Same.
Me too. I have so many casettes and still watch them or even record something.
I love my VCR it's better than that short lived DVD player
The good ol' days. I loved my walkman, watching VHS, rollerblading, playing outside and watching the 90s cartoons. I enjoyed my childhood. Many kids don't know what they're missing because they're always on the internet, smartphones and tablets playing shit and staying indoors.
Right! Even the earlier cartoons that your mom and dad used to watch!
I actually wish blockbuster came back:(
Nathan Jones no you dont
Nathan Jones
I miss it too!!
DukeSchnauzer Did you just....
There's only a few blockbusters in the USA
me too
Who remember flip phone was the only popular back then
And in some early phone, you had to pull out an antenna. Just funny! Seriously, an antenna!
Lol an antenna.
who remembers the portable phone from the 70s, it was the size of half your arm, portable didn't always mean pocket sized.
ViableNebula9’s Gaming flip phones suck
And on some phones, the antenna did absolutely nothing! It was just there for show!
i once asked a kidnergardener what a Nintendo was and he said 3ds, the crazy thing is, im ten and i know what a gameboy, vcr, nintendo, floppy disc, atari, super nintendo, nintendo 64, and virtual boy are.
TNTexplosion 12 and own a n64.
Edit: and the virtual boy may be innovative, but it can screw off.
I wanted an Atari 2600... In 2016... For some reason, to me, it's graphics appear better than the N64.
well he's 5, so. and yeah, i'm 12 and i knew all those things too.
TNTexplosion I'm 13 I know all of those and still use some of them too
I played emulated NES games when I was 8... they were awesome

Really? Wow. You must be interesting.

I am 15 and I recognized everything.....

your not a kid. lol
ree galore you're*
Pretty sure this wasn't aimed to you since you are today's teenager, not kid. They are referring to 2010's kids, so kids younger than 12
I used to go to blockbuster all the time as a kid.
I hate how she described it as a pain in the ass to go to a rental store. It was actually really fun to go and rent a game or a tape, its kind of like buying games and movies now some of the fun is just getting out but still being around your favorite hobbies.
The Black Cat. Remember the fee if you forgot to rewind it?
See kids back in my day, we used to have VHS tapes to play our favorite movies and it was great unique thing to have on your TV. You can pause, play, rewind, and fast forward. We didn't have to worry about subscriptions to watch movies like y'all have on your digital devices.
some of these are not that old :(
In the 80s, when we were kids, our dad/mom would ground us if they see us operating a vhs player, video camera or their pager.
Nowadays, as early as 4yrs old, they can hold a smartphone without being scolded at. WtF 😂😂😂
THANK YOU!!!! How come no one else is addressing this!?!?☝️🧐
If I ever had the AUDACITY of picking up the house telephone, my mom would've hit me in the head with the phone's headset first (making the phone sound 'ping' for a second) and then she'll answer it. The same will go with ANY electronic device saying "You'll damage it!!"🤦♂️
I was aloud to use the VCR without being grounded that sounded a lil extreme no offense
Frederick Rommel Dimaculangan I didn’t get my first phone until I was 12 and that was in 2014 so I don’t know what happened
I'm almost 21 and I recognized and knew what all of these things were. Most of them I used myself as a kid and the ones I didn't were just too expensive at the time for me to have. A beeper was one of them. My parents never saw the need for us to have one and plus they tended to be expensive. I don't remember having a DVD player until maybe the mid-2000's. They were just so damn expensive. I grew up with VHS tapes and still love them! I still have a VCR and if I can find a movie I want on VHS, that's the format I get. Plus there's nothing more satisfying, in my opinion, than a VHS collection full of the classics and some neat unknown gems. As for video stores, some of my favourite memories of my childhood were of me and my family going to the video store to rent some tapes and occasionally buy a few. It wasn't as bad as this video says. I loved it! I wish kids these days could have gotten that same feeling of finding a really cool movie you've been searching for at the video store. Plus the cover art back then was so cool and creative. Nothing better.
yah but you're not a child today hahahehe
still use a blu ray and dvd player not every films is on line so you still need some means of playing d.v.ds got my d.v.d player in 2016 along with my blu ray player so very let to the game
Maybe some of us just like having a HARD COPY of movies & tv series?
I still have a few hundred vhs tapes because they were never released on dvd, "nightmare on elm st the series" as an example, or because they are collectors editions with photos, books, lighters, or other additions to make the set more desirable.
YESS!!! I loved going to Movie Gallery to pick up movies on VHS. It was like an adventure to a teenage me. I know, I sound old, but I'm only 35. XD Anyway, the *Worst* part of using a VCR is when the dang thing ate your tapes. Ugh... Still... I have the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS, and will keep it that way; I wouldn't buy the DVD of it.
Somehow we live in a future where vinyl LPs are still a thing yet CDs and DVDs are considered passé.
you forgot about good music
ayyy
ikr
+Bartosz Lampart lmao
Im 16 and i find myself listening goong more and more back in time rahter than going forward when it comes to music. It sucks though when uou find a good band from a while back an they already broke up by that time
True, true, 90s rock and rap is so much better
I’m 14 I don’t have a iPhone, iPad, iPod or a MacBook but I have a typewriter, cassette tapes, my vhs tapes and listen to my vinyl collection, 1 in 7 kids I’ve talked to in my school knows at least one of the items I’ve mentioned
enjoy been a 90's kid and your old out dated tacogoy course one day if your kids of your own
you have nothing intersting to tell them only how fast tacogoy change you could not keep with
while kids your age already use have ipad music you where still trying to catch on with your 90's cassettes
Ivan Vrkljan how are you watching this?
Gamers Night there's more than apple products to watch RUclips on
Such as Microsoft PC, Xbox one, Roku and many others
Stop being a fucking weirdo
I congrats you, it happens the same to me, i would give everything to live in the 80's and 90's, but no, i had to born in 2004...
VHS is not obsolete. It's 2019 and they still work. 📼
They work yeah, but no one literally under the age of 50 uses it.
I'm only 29 and even we in freaking 3rd world croatia started using DVD's in the early 2000s
they discontinued it in 2016
Eragon was the last movie released on VHS.
Yeah, for me, VHS is a present, not past. I am still using it to record something. Movies etc.
The last VHS was made in 2016 (Funai). By the time this video was made, it was still actually being made...
I purposely have a TV with a vhs at the bottom
I miss going to the vhs store
It was so wholesome
I might be 13,but i recognize everything shown
I might be 14, but I used almost everything shown

I think when my parents made a few expensive purchases back in the 90s and 00s they decided it wasn't worth it to get anything else expensive, leaving me with the awesome technology of a Windows Vista laptop, PS2, a Wii, CRT TV, a CD player, cassette tape camcorder, classic alarm clock radio and my favorite piece of old tech, the VCR/DVD player combo.
@@baractusobamiuscaesar5540 I doubt you've used a rotary phone. Or a pager. But, yeah, I'm sure you've seen them on old TV shows.
I was born in 2001. I know most of these things. I had VHS tapes, i scribbled on Phone Books, i had cassettes. We did not have the modern technology at the time during my childhood.
And i happen to own a Game Boy since i collect RETRO stuff (and new stuff).
This video was cringe tbh. I bet older kids know what most of this stuff is.
Also, those TV guides are still handed out in my nearest store.
Oli Bernstein I agree. I was born in 2005, however we bought VHS up to 2006 and certainly watched them well into the 2010s. We also had phone books, especially at my grandparent’s house.
@@expensiveocean
I'm 20 and my grand parents have a 1000 of em
There are kids that don't know what they are because they are too young and not exposed to enough things in life. Many younger kids don't even know what DVDs and Blurays are, printers and desktops, etc.. It's not like they are obsolete technology. It's because they've never been exposed to it.
I was born in 2006 and I used most of these. I actually have a lot of cassette tapes and I still use a vhs player with lots of tapes
Same, I grew up in a lower income family so we had landlines, phonebooks, VHS players etc.. Good old days tbh
I miss block busters 😩😢
nina knox :(
at least filmtown and makuuni still exist
saaaaaaame
nina knox You and like 99 other persons in the world must be the only ones.

You underestimate us. I'm 15, and I knew literally everything on the list. I regularly use, or know how to use them all, and have a walkman, and diskman.
I have to be honest here. It's the 25+ gang that likely don't know a lot of this list. Your generation is starting to see how badly things got messed up and you're starting to come back down to Earth. If we could skip the part where the millennials rule the world and go straight to you folks, we might make it for another few generations.
You have my respect, sir.
Me too and the comments above you typing and trying to generalize us, I am 14, saying that we didn't know any of these thing but I am the complete opposite I really didn't know about the internet until 2012 before that I was stuck with a PlayStation 2 and then after a Xbox 360 and until 2018 I got an xbox one. I also have somewhere my vcr,my walkman,and among some other things
Makes me miss my R2-D2 walkman.
Well the thing is most of y'all don't know this many facts or care about the past
Literally same
I feel so attacked...I literally grew up with a Walkman, Gameboy, and VHS tapes
dragongirl bri I honestly know the feeling
same tbh the kids on here from like 2009 are saying that they grew up with it like no
same
I did not grow up with these, except for Blockbuster... Damn, I loved that place.
calm down Laganja
Conversation, talking with people and actually listening. Knowing how to write effectively.
Nah. People have always been people. Some kids couldn't look away from their books or sketchpads. People who wrote into tv news stations or newspapers to complain were just as un-grammarly as they are today. Trolls used mimeograph machines to copy crude jokes/cartoons that got passed around and around (memes), or sent chain letters.
We still take English class (where you learn to write effectively) and go to school where you talk to people I mean if anything kids nowadays are more social and better at talking to each other due to social media
@@christianjoseph6502 some students at my old high-schools could barely read and a lot of them were slightly illiterate.
I can still remember everything and I'm a 90s kid
My daughter would know all these and she was born in 93. She actually has an old typewriter.
I was born in 83 so yeah I remember when people were generally nice to you!
I was born near the end of the 90's and i know what most of these things are.
I´m a 2005 kid and I still use audio kasettes, walkman, vinyl records...
Any one else miss blockbuster
yeah I miss it, I always got my favorite movies from there until they put a Verizon store there.
Yes
So much I miss it

And streaming apps.
stuff we thought were old will be so ancient, there will be religious texts about them when our kids are old
born in 77, man it seems like just yesterday I got a Voltron, the NES, the Super NES 4 CHRISTMAS, GOD life is so short !!!
I was born in 85. Had (and still have) an NES. No computer or Internet. Cable was king. What's going to happen in another 30-40 years... We will see!!!
I was born in 1994
As a kiddo who was born in 2001. I love collecting these older consoles. Im currently looking for the "Color TV Game" that was made by Nintendo in the late 70's, only released in Japan though. Its just a Pong console though. I also love the Japanese version of the NES which is the "Family Computer" or "Famicom". It had this expansion that used Floppy Disks and it was called Famicom Disk System. Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus originated from this system.
I was born in 2006 but I grew up loving volton, he-man, and loony toons!
Reggie, I was born 10 years later in 1988. I still cant believe its almost 31 years later and things have changed. None of the things we grew up with functionally exist today. My childhood is basically obsolete. Life is indeed very very short.
I remember all those things as if it was yesterday... can't stop laughing on the dial-up internet though. Such a pain in the butt. 🤣
VHSs are amazing! How are they bad?!
Watch them enough and the quality gets poorer until they're unwatchable. Fast forwarding and rewinding takes forever.
However, if part of the tape got screwed up it was easily fixed with some tape and scissors as long as you didn't mind a small cut in the film or episode on the tape, I had to repair one of mine this way. If the case got wrecked you could take the tape reels out and put them in a new case (or just replace them in the case of a movie that was rubbish), I had to do that because my Mum left the Flubber VHS on top of our fire and the case melted. If you scratch a CD or DVD you'd have to sling it in the bin.
kids BETTER stop using VHS' in movies then bc thats ALL the kidnappers/killers use hahaha
I always looked forward to a trip to the Blockbuster on Halloween as a kid, these pups just don't know
I miss mine. But I converted then to DVD1 I hear it is behind times. Wait. I remember, Mom and Dad have some 8mm reals stashed!
i used to work at a blockbuster...i miss those days
Alex Beardsley Minimum wage?
Still haven't returned to game I rented
Same! It was actually fun going! And we were less spoiled.
Sony disc walkmans are still awesome, because as long as you have decent headphones, the playback is still great
Phone Booths should of been at least an honorable mention, if not in the top 10.
pay phones, kids today would not know what they are but I do.
yeah people today talk on their phones like we reallly want to hear their conversations.
I know, huh? Poor Superman has to duck behind a dumpster to change now! 😅😆
Should HAVE

what gamer wouldn't recognize a game boy?
I know.... the first game boy I ever heard about was the Game Boy Advance SP. For years I thought that was the 1st Game Boy ever made
I do had one as a kid and lots of games with it fun for me and PS1 as well and I played games like the original Spyro 3 year of the dragon, the original Ape escape and so on.

Thanks. Apppreciate the reminder.
Yeah well I'm 14 and I used all of these items until about 4 years ago
8-Track Tapes
I know when I was a kid in the 90's I barely recognized them. Kids today wouldn't even know what one is.
I love my DVD/vhs player. It comes in handy more than one would think
Kiss of K ?
Yep, I refuse to get rid of my VHS tapes👍🏽
girl interrupted ikr I used to have idk like 55 tapes of both home videos and kids shows and movies and my parents gave away 85% of them
Some VHS tapes are collectibles nowadays.
I miss the days of blockbuster and movie rental stores. They were good days and very exciting for the family. We would go on friday night to rent movies for the weekend. My son would go get what he wanted. My wife would her her chick flicks and i would get yelled at for picking my movie because the girl on the cover was sexy. Ahhh those were great days and always so fun going to blockbuster.
John Dollard I feel u now there’s all that Netflix nonsense and people are making fun of me because of that.

Damn, that's a bold move, just using FineBros video like that. This video will probably get taken down and you'll get sued. Just saying. You should watch out :D
Because, of course, there's no such thing as asking them for permission to use them.

Yeah dude, the internet is cool for some things. But just like everything else. There's no bookstore, music store, DVD store or anything that was once actually awesome is gone.

Hey, I'm not stalking you or anything like that but I checked out your playlist, and, well, you forgot the best part of Delirious,
ruclips.net/video/ypmJ39s5X0M/видео.html
That was me to a "T", I mean EXACTLY like me, EXACTLY, well, except mocking the kids in the end, but I'd be out front of the apartment complex roller skating, or riding my Schwinn Scrambler, you probably had a Huffy...LOL, or I'd be playing football in the street or catch, and I'd hear the Ice Cream Man from blocks away, I mean like blocks away, our Ice Cream Man always played this song,
ruclips.net/video/P21GD97ljSY/видео.html
That's how I met my best friend Byron and Gina, I ran inside to get some money from my mom, she gave me a five dollar bill, I ran back outside and had to chase him down the street because he had already passed, Gina and Byron came running too, but while I was standing at the window buying stuff they were just looking up with sad faces, I was like 8, Byron was probably 7 and Gina was like 6, I don't remember for sure, but I remember asking them why they weren't getting anything and they were like, "We don't have any money" and I said, "That's OK, I'll get it for you" and so, Byron got a paper bag filled with stuff, Gina got a paper bag filled with stuff, and I got a paper bag filled with stuff, AND I still had money left over to give my mom, I remember when an ice cream cost 25 cents, I usually got the red, white, and blue pop, maybe a missile, my mom used to buy those in the store so it wasn't really a treat, you had to get the ice cream that mom never would buy, heck, I remember standing in front of the open freezer on a hot summer day and getting yelled at for it, but my other go to was the Fun Dip, and then when the chocolate and banana Popsicle came out, oh man, that was good, and sometimes the mint chocolate chip sandwich, that was Gina's favorite flavor, but yea, those were the days, oh yea, I lived at 51 Lester Ave in San Jose, in case you wanted to look at it on google maps, that was the perfect street to play football on, and right down the street from the park, I remember the street corners before they had the handicap ramps, me and my other friend would ride our bikes to the park carrying a couple bats, like 3 or 4 balls, a couple mitts, and dropping all of it if we didn't hit the curb right, I sure do miss childhood.
I find it funny that they think even a 90s kid wouldn't know what a rotary phone. Obviously, it was the older adults who tended to have them, but they were still being used in the 90s, at least enough for us to know that we don't need to ask our grandparents about them lol
Felicia London I remember being disappointed when I messed up dialing a rotary phone.
Felicia London I remember rotary phones
I used to have so much fun using a rotary phone when I was a kid! Our kitchen phone hung on the wall, but it had a rotary dial on it instead of the touch tone.
my niece is seven even she knows what rotary phone is
I was born in '91 & I HAD a rotary phone! Not my own, granted, it was the household phone, but still!
Okay, after watching this, I have a serious question: If someone actually invents time travel within our lifetimes, who else is going to empty their bank accounts to actually be able to take vacations back to these times that technology was like this as an escape from modern life for a week or two? Cause, I know I sure am, lol.
Get in line, mate! Give me the mid '80s when Laura Branigan ruled the airwaves and people didn't throw a fit if they had to wait until you got home to return their phone call. :-)
I completely agree (being said by a 11 year old
Me too. Miss the old days where we actually watched tv together and didn’t play on the phones while listening to tv.
Also, I wanna go to blockbuster!!!
