Now That I'm 30, I Listened To My iPod From When I Was 17 — And It Taught Me A Lesson I Wasn't Expecting
teenage years — I no longer live in the South Texas border town I grew up in, I'm openly gay, and I now have a life in Los Angeles that I'm really proud of. But I'm not the happiest I've ever been.I immediately logged onto Amazon and ordered a USB cable with the vintage wide-mouth connection, which was from a time when Apple didn’t change their chargers every few months just to keep things fresh.
I wonder: Do the hyper-technically savvy babies of today even know what an iPod is? Do they think it’s an old Apple TV remote or beginner’s sex toy?
Or do they just use them as hair clips? The opening squeal of a guitar blasted through my speakers and the biggest smile hit my face.
I loved this song. I was instantly thrown back into the late 2000s, when it was cool to wear American Apparel V-necks and oversized knit beanies, even though it was 99°F at the bottom of South Texas.
