the vibrant background colours, the emblematic nature of the white wired earphones against the silhouetted dancing figures… such a stellar ad campaign with a goated song selection. including (but not limited to):
are you gonna be my girl by jet
flathead by the fratellis
feel good inc by gorillaz
walkie talkie man by steriogram
shut up and let me go by the ting tings
technologic by daft punk
jerk it out by caesars
hey mama by the black eyed peas
and so many more amazing tracks 🎶

I also like these. It's much easier for me to imagine how I'd use and be delighted by an iPod when the depicted person is pretty vaguely defined like this. For better or worse I compare myself to their intended end user, and I just don't resonate with the very specific people used in 'modern' product advertising. It's both smart marketing and a fun and cool look.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
