"A few years back, in an open office, I was quietly listening to music and singing along (my desk was far away from all others so I wasn’t being rude), when a much younger coworker came up and asked how I knew the words to ‘the song’ already, since it just released two days ago by a popular young artist. I said that I had been singing the original for decades. They laughed and said, ‘No, really?"

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.

Remember: a bunch of fumb duck influencers hold the keys to all truth, and know far more than your puny brain could possibly ever imagine.

In my country, we don't even waste our time arguing with idiots. We just let time do it's work.
