> gen z's weird nostalgia for things they never grew up
replyPlenty of older Gen Z grew up with iPods - the iPod touch didn't show up till they were 10 years old, and it took the smartphone another ~5 years to fully kill off that whole product category.
>the iPod touch didn't show up till they were 10 years old,
replyIn America. My country, and 90% of the world, was noticeably behind, and "mp3 players" reigned.
yeah, I grew up on my dad’s old iPod and BlackBerry up until high school; a lot of people in my peer group also were exposed to “older” tech by way of parents, siblings, etc.
replyFor me it's about intention and decoupling core entertainment from algorithmic bs.
