I remember at a point limewire or frostwire had movies you could download. Young me downloaded the little mermaid but it was a porn parody and I scared myself for life.

That’s the joke. There were a lot of mislabeled media back then, basically anything funny was Weird Al, anything rock was Metallica except that one song about Zelda, that was totally SoaD, etc etc. All of them were wrong, and god help you if you try to download a movie. 50/ 50 you now have to figure out how to digitally shred your hard drive so you don’t get v& by the feds or b& irl.

Yep, life was simpler back when there were only six or seven bands on the internet. Vaguely punk sounding? Well that’s obviously Blink-182. Punk but with bagpipes? Dropkick Murphys. Dude with an acoustic guitar? Oh that’s Dave Matthews Band.

For me it was: hey check out this cool Muse song! - it’s Radiohead

Bring Me To Life? Clearly Linkin Park 👌

Oh, this one? Pendulum. Honestly! (Not Pendulum and I’ve never learned who actually did it but I have a cool unknown track in my collection 👍)

Good times.

Oh, and God forbid you ACTUALLY want to download porn unless you fancy playing CP roulette. 😰

Yes, for some time I remember thinking the Windows 95 song was Weird Al, since it was labelled that way. I thought it didn’t sound much like him!

Born to be Alive was made by the Village People right?

This is obscure Dutch humor, those who know, know.

Don’t take away money from artists just like me

How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee?

And diamond studded swimming pools, these things don’t grow on trees

So all I ask is everybody, please
