    True, when I see a modern concert recording, all I see are sad and sobbing people, hating that they are at a concert

        The phone thing is so ridiculous. Stay at home and watch someone else’s video at that point. The compulsion to document everything that happens to yourself is something I just don’t get.

          This is probably my biggest boomer opinion. People need to know that i was here, people need to know how much fun i’m having. If people don’t know how amazing my life is, what’s even the point of going out?

          My tinfoil opinion is because of social media traveling is now everyone’s favourite hobby. Tinder is just full of women who use the planet as a background to take their picture in front of.

          When i was little, the worst part about other people’s holidays was that there was a chance that they invited you to their homes to watch their boring dia shows of their vacation. Now it’s almost impossible to not look at someone’s vacation

          Idk, it was a thing in the early 2000s as well. I remember my friends sharing flip-phone quality videos with me of concerts they went to, so sharing experiences via digital recording isn’t anything new.

          I also think it’s dumb, but it’s not particularly new.

            Oh Jesus Christ if I have to ever see someone’s fireworks pics ever again please use this pillow to suffocate me. Also individuals’ moon shots. Just please no.

              Phones should capture memories, and they should be shared with those who have the same memories. If I want to watch a video of fireworks or nature, there are so many higher quality options available.

        What smartphones are you seeing exactly? This looks like a Limp Bizkit set with some professional photographers right up the front. Nobody had smartphones in 2001 and even if you pulled one out there you’d have lost it in the pit.
