It’s a cycle
Vinyl was already cool again way before 2008.
Also, 2008 was the era of loading up iPods and the like. Spotify as a phenomenon is much more recent.
Also, USB?
Now that I think about it, just about everything in this meme is wrong…
I can’t remember when I traded pirating music for my zune/iTouch for Spotify, but I know back in 2008 we were still using MP3 players. We were still in relatively early years with MP3 players, too. In 2010 I was still using my jailbroke iTouch 3, so we were still in the MP3 era until at least 2010. People also joked back then about vinyl snobs who made “audiophile” part of their personality. Records were cool and record shops were able to stay in business. Cassette sales were down on the other hand, because we were still getting over the trauma of them getting jammed and the excitement of having high quality digital music.
OP must be very young and just looked up what year things came out, not what year things were used. Weren’t DVDs invented in the 80s?
CDs came out in the 80’s (1983, like the meme), DVDs hit ten years later in the mid-90’s.
I could have sworn that there was some blockbuster 90s media invention that was first created like a decade before it was commonly used.
Cd’s was not really a thing in 83.

You’re right. This post appears to be closer to when the tech was invented vs when they became mainstream. CDs were invented in 1982 but usage really didn’t take off until adoption in the 90s.
Back in the days when the slightest breeze blown in the general direction of the CD player would cause it to skip.
Nothing really makes sense here.
Cassettes weren’t big until the eighties and cd’s were nineties. USB? Sure, maybe. Spotify didn’t become available for the US until 2011 (I waited patiently for that). And vinyl has definitely been coming back for quite some time now.
Lol some clueless zoomer made this
Flash drive? More like a iPod.
Zune was the shit. Being able to share music wirelessly to those around you was so cool
Problem was, I only ever met like 3 people rocking a Zune at my college. You needed to convince your friend group to adopt it with you.
And like 3 months after the Zune launched, the gadget everyone was talking about was the first iPhone. The Zune was too late to the party. Everyone was about to jump to touch screen smartphones.
I had that Creative Zen, thing was thick
One genuine point owed to retro hipster music formats though: you can’t DRM them.
I’m sure you could come up with a way of recording binary code on the vinyl that could only be played back as music with the proper encryption key.
