Our house only had rotary phones..

Said rotary phones had an actual bell ringer on them..

VHS was the only type of movie rental...

The tolls on all the crossings in NYC were less than 2 dollars...

There was a tollboth on the hutch in the bronx...

Cable boxes only tuned up to channel 65 or so...

HBO only had one channel...

CNN was the only news channel..

The weather channel didn't exist...

The Preview channel used to be all the rage...

They used to play cartoons from 5 am to about 2 pm on saturday mornings, uninteruppted...

---90's/DJ culture---

I remember when:

Flannel was actually in style...

Grunge rock took the country by storm...

Popular music still had a shred of credibility...

The only way to get DJ mixsets was on actual tape...

Domestic records were 5 bucks even, imports between 7 and 9...

Buying records online was a gamble with safety...
