Dominic, No idea what this person is attempting to say. I know that retcon is the revising of an established story - but describing the lead up to Y2K as “monotonous”? And then talking about Office Space? Probably made sense to them but no one else.
#14 - as I recall it, they did start calling records “vinyl” shortly after CDs came out. CDs were cool because they were small and all digital but many people liked records because they had greater dynamic range (a friend of mine would not switch to CDs for that reason). So the record fans started to call the superior dynamic range “vinyl” as a way of distinguishing the less dynamic CD. Boomer out.
"Just the other day some young person tried to passionately tell me that ‘Shout’ by Tears for Fears was actually written and performed by Depeche Mode. I was so embarrassed for them. They were so sure they were right. Bless their heart."
