>walkman
>not walking
funny how if there was anything that might have sent us on the trajectory towards legitimate walkable cities it would have been a product called the fucking walkman. unfortunately whatever the walkman may have done for society was destroyed by the big retarded fragile CD which negated walking, which ushered in the mp3, which gave way to the smartphone, which spoiled not only the future generations but also the previous ones who were equally sucked up into the vortex of social media.

>>507752814 (OP)
Is this then time where boomers where being degenerate faggots ?

>>507752814 (OP)
That Walkman cost $200, in 1979 money.

>>507753363
shut up faggot

cassette tapes were trash, and anybody who says otherwise is a millennial

>>507753553
ha. appropriate flag for such a low iq response.

also, that advertisement is retarded

>hey lets go roller skating together with a fucking headphone splitter

>>507752814 (OP)
Well youre going to get a chance to relive it.
WWIII will put us back 100 years.

>>507752814 (OP)
I was a kid so I never got an actual Sony Walkman, just the shitty knockoffs that ate my tapes and broke within a month.

>>507755495
just hold still we can add blur effects in post.
boy the future is amazing!

>>507753537
It was the ipod of it's day

>>507753537
Yep.... the 1980 version of a smart phone.

>>507755803
at least they're outside. wouldn't that be an Eliot page now in her room on tumblr

>>507754660
Boomer here! Don't hate me because my woofers are beautiful.

Peak America was 1989-1995

It really just comes down to missing a majority white country. There is no reason the 2010s couldn't have just built on the previous decades before it. The only thing that changes was the government fucking everything up.

>>507754660
it was such fun making your own tapes
recording from radio, or CDs later, and making a tape for a (girl)friend
putting the stickers on them, organizing them neatly in tape racks
always a good birthday gift to receive
>but the sound quality
there's a 20 second silence in the middle of those 90 mins, too
it was great

>>507757483
The amount of audio engineering I did before I was 12 I'm surprised how retarded I ended up.

>>507756301
i love pics like this for some reason

>>507752814 (OP)
Consumerist shit.

>>507754660
Millenials had CDs not cassettes.

>>507752814 (OP)
It was the impetus of all the shit we're dealing with now, but still a lot more natural and naive..

>>507754660
Wrong,the portability alone made them the best option because there was nothing else.

>>507756239
>me
Yes, you passed the boomer litmus test

>>507759944
>Millenials had CDs not cassettes.
millennials are the one who are retardedly nostalgic for the 80s, even though they only experienced it as babies.

>bro life was so good back then!!!
yeah maybe thats because you were still sucking your mothers tit

>>507756301
I look at how a country like Iran changed so drastically in the span of a few decades and it's hard to imagine that the world in those old pictures existed, and I realize a change so unbelievable happened here too. I was born in the late 80s and watched it happen. It is unreal what happened.

>>507757483
Yeah i had one of those bose cassette things and would record the songs I liked. I also had an 89 Ford probe lmao. Im almost a gen X caricature

>>507752814 (OP)
I’m from the 90s so dnt understand this really

They were probably more free back then though, that means less commie fat women trying to get revenge on guys then too

So with the Ford probes, or cars back then in general, it was the same thing as fixing your lawnmower and you'd have to nigger rig the fuck out of them. I bought a push switch from radioshack to get that fucker to start because it was about 50 cents vs a new sterring column.

Non genX bros wouldn't get it. Also duck hunt sux.

>>507760309
I remember they cost around $30 for a Sony Walkman in the mid '80's which was a lot of money back then. I had the yellow sports model and several others before they became Discman with the CDs.

The 80's was the last decade men tried to be their best.

Pic related was the compact model.

>>507753363
This piece of shit was not usable when walking around. You couldn't even breathe on it without it skipping.

>>507754660
they were better for portable music than cds
portable cd players skipped like crazy

>>507759944
We had both I still have all my Dads cassette tapes and CDs

they are making a new version called the sony walkthey/them

I went to an aerobics class with my marine buddies and we couldn't last the session.

>there was nothing else.
Memefag doesn't know shit.

>>507753537
The price dropped quickly after a few years. I remember you could get the basic model for $39.99.

>>507753519
No its the time when Isreal was considering a third world nation we didn't work for

>>507762104
Women had such skinny asses back then girls felt ashamed of their figures that today would be considered the absolute peak of sexiness.

>>507762159
claim a street corner

>>507762159
This was the one I had. Cheap piece of shit, but it did the job.

>>507761897
Kek

I don't.
>reagan fucking us over our nuclear program
>military dictatorship collapsing
>hyperinflation
>famine
>flooding leaves 200k homeless
>8 hours of electricity a day

80s were good for everybody else but us.

>>507761396
Had that one and it was the tits. Still don't know how people actually jogged with them though, they weighed as much as a breeze block. You would have to duct tape them to yourself to keep them from flying off when you run.

>>507762159
There were nice boom boxes back in the day.
Was sad to find out not long ago that nobody makes one worth a shit anymore.
We never used the batteries since they ran down really quick and just plugged them in if you could find an outlet.

>>507762293
I remember my girlfriend at the time always worrying if her ass was too fat. (It was.)

>>507762375
That's some sweet old school BMX action right there fren, much appreciated on this eve of war.

https://youtu.be/4o-OKb2bn64R03SeEp8-BxJcpF5

I had this one until a girlfriend got mad at me and stole it.

>>507752814 (OP)
How dis maek u feel
GameBOY?

>>507763045
serves you right for dating a sheboon

>>507762835
There were girls that I considered too fat to consider back then, but in today's world I wouldnt have a chance to date them. Lesson for you youngsters, take the chances you get or live to regret it later.

>>507763197
I'm not worried about it. I've never liked fat asses.

>>507760429
That's because everything from the 80's was free on the internet in the 90's which you'd know if you weren't a technologically illiterate brown non-person designed to consume by beings advanced far beyond your comprehension. Have you ever spoken to a brazilian? I trust you'd get along with them very well.

>>507763197
>enjoy your fat cunts now or you'll be left with nothing but hamgalaxies later
Thanks grandpa

>>507763130
LOL.
She was a white cheerleader with horrible control issues. Caught me with another girl and flipped her shit. I guess I'm lucky I only lost my boombox and didn't get a knife in the gut.

80's technology was fun.
Back before the internet when you could have fun without offending anyone.

>>507763553
unironically you're welcome, and consider yourself warned.

>>507752814 (OP)
The world and feels depicted in that Sony ad could never exist or survive today's urban hellscape. It's from a time when a lot of people thought the future was gonna be great but it didn't work out like that.

This was my bad boy. Early 90's but close enough.

Are those type of roller skates fun to ride?

How do they feel compared to single row skates? Only rode the single row one's

>>507764943
The '80's was full of hope for the future.
They pictured mankind expanding out into the cosmos and evolving into super intelligent beings.

They had such high hopes for us.
