back,in the day the coolest thing you could own would be a great stereo. Kids would come over after school and listen to records. It was a great social scene. Nowadays you would never catch a bunch of young people gathered around a stereo system. They don't believe in sitting in one spot and listening to music. When I have had young people over here they look at my audio gear like it's a 100 year old antique. To them it is just clutter. When I was there age I would go Gaga if I saw an audio system in someone's house. |

But if you're cool that doesn't bother you.

Used to be every Tom, Dick and Harry had one trying to be cool. These days only people who are actually cool have them. |
