Oh I would listen the shit album 100 times and memorize the lyrics for each song. It might have been bad album, but it was mine and I was so excited to bring it home.

But also I was very young

If you got 3 tracks off a hip hop album you’d nailed it.

Yes, there are exceptions, we now call them classics

It was like that though.

It's 1999. Why are you paying for music at all? Napster still exists for you.

Only about 4% of the worlds population had internet access in 1999.

But you owned it. So you could sell the CD and recoup almost all of your money.

Back in those days you could listen to the record/cassette/cd in the store before you bought it. They would have these headphones you could use.

So it's not as big of a problem as this meme would make it seem.

I bought Finger11 for paralyzed and then realized it was by far their best track.

When people who didn't like rock/metal bought an Extreme album because they thought all the songs were like More Than Words.

I'll never forget walking into a record store, looking at a cannibal corpse album. The guy working there looked at me and said if i want the album for free. I was a teen with like 9 dollars to my name so i said of course, thank you. When i asked why he said: because it FUCKING SUCKS.
