Record Breaking Arguments

Here in the 21st century, no one except you and my dead grandpa plays or played records. 
I can see.  I can see.  I can see....

Patently false and you entirely missed the point of the picture.

I am a story without an equal;
The echoing void of a disaster
I am a smile drowning in tears
I am the silence at the end of your journey

Records are only for the few who are cool and you're not cool enough to play one. 

Although I did see some nice modern laser record players at the Kyobo in Seoul near the Cheonggyechong a while back.

That's a cool idea. You can play records without ruining them, so long as the sound quality is the same. Some music sounds better on vinyl because there isn't so much loudness.

You're not cool enough to play records either.  Go back to your Sony Walkman.

Sony Walkman was the coolest thing ever back in the day. Originals can fetch a pretty penny at auction.

Yeah some of them are pretty nice from what I can tell.  Kyobo is a chain of book stores in Korea and they were selling them.  There are two or three in Seoul that are quite large and sell electronics and other things.  Sadly the rest of the country they are tiny and have none of this cool technology.  (Plus other cool stuff they sell.)  Many are still needle players though.  But more modern in design overall.

I liked those when the Sony Diskman was catching everyone's eye when I was a kid.  I liked that the Sony Walkmans didn't skip compared to the Diskmans.  But I was in my 20's in the 2000's decade when MP3s and Ipods came around.  I was pretty quick to embrace them.  Left the walkman and mixed tapes behind.  I didn't hang onto it for dear life until 2022.  I mean this was like 20 years ago.  Started downloading Linkin Park, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver at the time.  Memories....  Screw this Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus crap they got on top 40 now.

Walkmans passed me by but I left my Minidisc player behind in a swimming pool’s changing room. Was gutted at the time but iPods were just starting to be a thing…so got one of them and it was just something else.

backstreet boys dropped off after 1999?

Damn. Just Googled it and you're right. Their last top-40 hit was Incomplete from 2005's Never Gone album at 13th spot. Strange thing is that I seem to remember Just Want You to Know getting a lot more airplay but it only ranked 70th.

You got fake ears?  I knew you were ugly, but I didn't know you needed plastic surgery.

After a long day of NO U'ing his way to a mod-assisted victory on waygook, a bent out of shape weigook77 unwinds by donning his backwards cap and sunglasses and screaming along to 2001 nu-metal into his pillow.
