>>201760018My father wasn't in my life
>>201760062renting movies in 90s-early00s was like $5 tops at the bigger places like hollywood video. It was cheaper at local places. We had two "hometown" videos in my small town. One north location and one south. Then another place came in and I forget their name. Then hollywood video moved in. You could also rent from the grocery store and a local electronics store. So we had 5 fucking video rental places for a town of 10k.
>>201760018We didn't have Blockbuster in the SEQ town I grew up in 90s Ausfailia. I remember crying watching Fern Gully when I was 5 years old in 95.

>>201760460You can't convince me otherwise. Everyone preferred their own local video store. Blockbuster had the worst late fees in the business.

preferred Hollywood Video and local mom & pop shops.
>>201760486Wrong
>>201760436Blockbuster was the shit, but it was mostly only found in bigger towns, cities. Small towns had to rely on local owned video stores. Hell even grocery stores had rental sections for movies and video games.

>>201760341Aren’t millennials the same faggots who have to see EVERY capeshit movie that comes out? Aren’t they the generation who raised their children to be illiterate, zogbot, screen zombies with no interpersonal skills? Aren’t millennials the group that made racemixing and being a cuck (your wife having a black lover) apart of pop culture?I can’t count the amount of millennial race mixers I’ve seen in public, I also can’t count the amount of Gen Alpha that are complete mutts. Your generation is the biggest failure in human existence, you are worse than boomers. Faggot.

>BlockbusterReminder these chuds killed off your local mom and pop video stores. Spit on Blockbuster's grave.

Can't you guys just cut out the middle man and saw you miss being a kid and not you miss all this lame shit that you would hate if it were still current?Also those moustaches are gross and it bothers me that they're coming back into style. I'm not going to be nostalgic for guys who can't shave either.
>>201760856The nostalgia is for all the non-obese non-tatted white peopleOnly thing that really sucked back then was all the smoking and cigarette butts everywhere. But now they're starting to replace that with everything smelling like weed.

Am I meant to feel nostalgic over propaganda promoting unhealthy vices and sitcoms?

>>201760205>>201760289>>201760482>>201760819It’s interesting seeing millennials talk about their childhood, like a bygone age the Jews stole from us older zoomers
>>201761505I remember going to suburban public school and there would only be one nonwhite kid in class.
>>201760615Yeah but they were old as fuck. They only had PS1 games deep in the PS2 / XBOX era.
>>201760062bait
>>201761505The concept of a stolen childhood should be exclusively used for people who were forced into an adult position before they reached physical maturity, like girls married off at 13, boys forced into coal mines, and shit like that.The Jews didn't steal your childhood because you weren't given a cookie cutter childhood experience. Hell most people don't even have to grow up until their late 20s or early 30s. You have the longest childhood in human history.
>>201761505I'm genx and you have no idea how shitty everything is now if it's all you know. What's fucked up is how shitty everything was then compared to earlier. We are being corralled into smaller and smaller enclosures by our handlers. I wonder if humanity will ever shake off the jewish fleas and their central banking usury slave grid. Probably not. jews are probably right about the goyim.
>>201761644Almost no other person in history had to live with the assumption that their countries would be majority from a different race by the end of the century.
>>201761681shalom!
>>201761505I'm a millennial and my memories of childhood are throwing cartons of milk off a cliff at the fishermen below or riding bikes into thornbushes because a pal had a video camera and we figured we could be the next Jackass, not Blockbuster and N64.
>>201761755Enjoy it bro.

>>201761788>so hecking nostalgic!! >give me an updoot, my man! That’s just called being young and having an imagination, you’re not special.
>>201761505Millennials are the first post-history generation. They may have had grandparents who remember WW2, but they didn't take them seriously because they were so old. Millennials grew up thinking the world was in its new and final phase, that it would always remain static. Nothing could change because all the world's problems were solved in WW2 and finally by the end of the Cold War. It was nothing but consooming and prosperity from here on out. Once reality started hitting in the 00s and never stopped since then, they've been getting more and more buckbroken. They're developing mass psychosis because the world completely different from what they believe it SHOULD be. They will sooner cope and seethe to death than admit they grew up in an extremely sheltered and privileged outlier of human history. t. born in 1990 but understood this since high school.
>>201761832Half the shit you mentioned doesn't actually happen to anyone. Some retards on twitter screeching about white people doesn't translate to anything happening in the real world. Also crime was fucking WAY higher in the past. >Instead, violent crime during the colonial period was likely three times higher than the highest modern rates in the data we have, and crime had been on the decline since colonial times.[2] Within the better data for crime reporting and recording available starting in the 1930s, crime reached its broad, bulging modern peak between the 1970s and early 1990s. After 1992, crime rates have generally trended downwards each year, with the exceptions of a slight increase in property crimes in 2001 and increases in violent crimes in 2005–2006, 2014–2016 and 2020–2021.[3]
>>201760663>not leaving in 10 mins after you looked for what you wanted and either got something or didn'tyou sound creepy as fuck
>>201761940>crime was fucking WAY higher in the past.Ok now cite the stats for 1950s ;)
>>201761940hiya rabbi. Everything in that list is true. And crime stats are low now because most major metros simply stopped counting and reporting. Simple as. Christ is king.
>>201760018BackdraftGet ShortyAce VenturaThe Three Musketeers (Sutherland version)We had a "4 (movies) for 4 (days) for $4.4" special at my local videostore.
>>201761937>Millennials grew up thinking the world was in its new and final phaseThats wrong, at least for late Millennials. We grrew up with analogue in the 80s and early to late 90s. The internet and high speed internet were nowhere near as ubiquitous in the 90s as they are today.Millennials are the middle children of history, at least when it comes to tech.
>>201761940>Also crime was fucking WAY higher in the past.ROFL if you believe this fucking shit. You are brainwashed. This is your last (you). No one is ignoring the evidence held by their own eyes and ears, commie.
>>201762010Yeah but you're overstating how widespread it is which makes you an alarmist moron. I can do it about any decade>1950s?>get sent to Korea and die>get accused of being a communist and have your life ruined>You're black? Fuck you! >You're a woman? Get raped bitch!>wake up every day fearing the Soviets nuked you and all life on Earth will now end>bri'ish music keeps invading my radio and making the next generation gay drug takers
>>201762044you are fucking retarded and fail to understand basic statistics and metrics. I’m surprised you’re even slightly literate. Typical cope from a sheltered soiboy
>>201762120Your source literally says crime was at its worse in the 1970s. As though that's when history starts
>>201762044Bro actually fucking WATCH movies from the 70s, the idea of insanely violent street crime is omnipresent. We're talking about the decade that spawned Taxi Driver, Death Wish, A Clockwork Orange, and Warriors.
>>201762199we're living through 1970's 2.0 right now but somehow even gayer
>>201762105Lol dreidelnigger... ALARMS SHOULD BE GOING OFF 24/7. More and more goyim are waking up though. Shit is going to be spicy for the next few decades.
>>201762168It says "starting in the 1930s" you dumb ass. From 1930 onward, there's a peak between the 70s and 90s.
>>201762258So crime was lower before the 1970s?Thanks retard.
>>201762199>WarriorsToday... you were far away
>>2017622581920s/30s criminals had style.
>>201762289
You can blame Ronald Reagan for all the high crime rates in the USA.
>>201762347
>>201762347No, you can blame the fucking LEAD pipes that were used for US infrastructure for decades. Mass lead-poisoning is the most likely cause of crime increase and peak in the 70s.
>>201762275Oh is this the part where you conveniently pretend like the whole fucking thread isn't about a phenomenon that got big in the 80s with anons posting pics from the 80s and 90s which is coincident with the peak in crime rates?Thanks retard. Yeah I guess if I can take a smattering of different cultural memes from thousands of years of history I could probably construct some kind of elaborate fiction that makes the modern era look bad. Too bad you can't live in ancient Egypt and the renaissance and the 1950s simultaneously.
>>201762120Your cities are drug infested shitholes where murder is common. Keep living in denial.
>Dad is behind the red curtains looking for Jenna Jameson VHS tapes again.
>>201760747>here are those hillbillies I was telling you about
>>201762413>construct some kind of elaborate fiction that makes the modern era look bad.It's like you don't know about anything going on anywhere in current year or you're a gaslighting pilpulling jew or something. Things continue until they can't and we're approaching can't at light speed.
>>201761963when you're a kid and want to play a game bad enough, you do weird shit, i definitely remember waiting around all day for someone to return Super Mario Bros 3
>>201760018At the time? Toy Story. If I were the same age then that I am now, Jurassic Park.
>>201760205This is the part that Bluckbustalgia always misses out
>>201762536There are problems in the modern year but there are also many things to be thankful for and a reduction in crime from a couple of decades ago is one of them. I think it's more telling that the foundation of your worldview is that everything is necessarily bad and declining and that you respond to any indication otherwise not with optimism but hostility. Fucking why man? How deep in the doomer vortex do you have to be that you start to not even want to get out anymore?
>>201760633Millennigroids are in their forties you coping fuck
201762736You are not worth engaging with. I live in a completely different and much larger reality than you do. Christ is king.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnPE8u5ONls
>>201760205This was how I originally got into piracy lmao
>>201762667Shit like Hollywood video would get like 50 copies of whatever new release came out. You were pretty much guaranteed to get a copy. I have no idea how their business model worked but they would do this for nearly every new release.The local places would get like 2 copies max.
>>201762822Sorry for asking you to back up your doomer worldview instead of treating it as axiomatically true and jerking off to the romantic misery of living in the last days of mankind I guess.
>>201762413Cope harder, you are wrong and retarded. Crime is not "lower than ever" like you claimed.
>>201763011Where did I claim that lol
>>201760205i remember our neighbour had that fucking double vhs thingy which could copy movies to blank vhs. So we gave them our rented movie + blank vhs and we got new movies everytime
>>201760018Well I can already tell that picture was not taken in 1996 when it has Mulan and A Bug's Life
Am I the only one that remembers a cow themed imitator called Moovies?
>>201760018probably something like WWF Survivor Series 1991 and a horror flick like Sleepaway Camp or whatever has a fun cover. My parents let me rent anything really. Had to wait until I was like 10 or so to watch stuff like Faces and Traces of Death though.
>>201761053Now it's all just covered with animated LED boards constantly streaming different ads instead. No more effort put into them.
>>201764528I remember these in VA in the late 90s. Not sure what states they were in, parts of the south maybe I guess they weren't in PA when I moved there.
>>201761123Yeah but at least you could say for example creating that Coke ad took some actual physical effort to make the realistic bottle and shit. Now it's just a shitty screen.
>>201764603Yeah I'm in NC, one we had still stands as a Maytag Appliance Store.
>>201760018Probably Muppet Treasure Island. Maybe Screamers, cause I love horror schlock.
>>201760018Hellraiser 1 & 2Secret of Mana, Brain Lord and Super Metroid
>>201760018Anyone remember how hard it was to rent SF2 on SNES as a kid? That shit was never in stock
>>20176150536 year old here. I'll give you some of my insights. I think we have much more convenience now compared to back in the day. However the price for this convenience is our souls and social trust. We used to hang out at the local mall and meet other kids who were also white just like us, sometimes we'd beef with them, sometimes we'd befriend them. The mall was a cool place to just hang out and dick around. These days malls are dying because shitskins are going to them, online shopping, lack of social trust, etc.cringe video but this video is what the mall experience was like being a weeb in the early 2000s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCZs29IAu3c
>>201760747The flyover meme was always shithole cope from people who see this image and feel like Khrushchev in an American grocery store.
>>201760919>What's the difference between gaudy Gremlins merchandise and shitty Marvel ads plastered everywhereGremlins isn't EVERYWHERE. Gremlins was not the normalfag's favorite thing ever for 16 consecutive years. There are not 3 Gremlins movies a year.
>>201760341>they didn't experienceblockbuster was around in the late 2000s dude
>>201760578phew, thank god for this establishment dismantling of the past and how it was evil
>>201760062Honest to God, I was thinking maybe yesterday about the opportunities to meet people at a video rental place like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video.>be looking for movie>oh shit, that girl is looking at a movie I like>"oh hey you interested in that movie?"Or even just to break the ice with like-minded dudes.I can't even imagine the contrived circumstances a person would have to engineer for such a happening today.
As an actual old man I will never understand the obsession kids today have with the video rental experience. No one was renting multiple movies or games, we were renting because we were fucking poor. You weren't getting fucking snacks either because guess what, we're poor and have "snacks" at home. At best you would get some free stale popcorn at Jumbo Video and that was it. It was an awful and degrading experience, I always hated going there.
>>201760018Mr Woodcock

>>201765974I actually met my former HS classmates the summer after my freshman year in college. I was at the Blockbuster (this was in 2008) and I felt a hand tickle the back of my neck. It was one of the girls I was cool with but was never friends. She and her BFFs were all there, we chatted, and then I got invited to a party later that week. Good times.
>>201760578I won't suffer this faggot shit. Today I have choice paralysis and just checked and I haven't played a single game in 6 days. I'm unemployed.
>>201766069Born in 1989, but for me taking my bike and going to the Blockbuster with my buddies by pooling together our allowances and lunch money to rent games to play on a Friday night was comfy as fuck.
its not 1996 you fags. deal with it
>>201765133YESwhen we finally managed to get it we stayed up 25 hours playing it in sleeping bags in the back porch
I have never rented DVD. VHS? Sure plenty but DVDrips were just too convenient. Even if you had to download movies for a week

People talk about generation gaps. I'm 35 so I'm out of touch, but what's the difference between a teen in 2014 to a teen in 2024? We had high speed internet, 4G, streaming was more common. Is there that big of a cultural gap?
>>201767222I'm 62 sad that you didn't get to live in those times
>>201760018Blockbuster was good because they never had the movie you actually wanted. This meant that you watched new stuff and discover new kino.
>>201767279Yeah dude. If youre the age you claim I dont know how you could have missed the changing culture since 2000. The continual lowering of the bar the idolation of soul-destroying concepts and wants.Zoomers have been raised on media that has no souls, ideals or directions. Consumption is the dutyt expected of western people at this point, and their generation got that brain washing worst of any to this point,.
I don’t know what we’re going to rent, all I know is that I’m staying the fuck away from any aisle in the store where I see this cover
>>201767431This. Used to panic whenever this shit appeared
>>201767392Dude, I loved the 2000s. I was 10 when the new millennium rolled in and I remember all those weekday afternoons watching Toonami and playing PS2 games.Like I said, I'm 35 so I'm considered old by kids, but my 20s were from 2009 to 2018. I remember the culture shift and how everyone was getting glued to their phones and social networking, but as I asked, if say an 18 year old from 2014 was in a 10 year coma and woke up today, would there be a massive culture shock to them? I remember in the 2000's, you could still make fun of trannies and banter against gay people, but now it's off-limits.
>>201760335It was always a mistake, but I think I did the same thing
My dad had already abandoned me by 1996.
>>201767386yep. It was a great place that both prevented you from stagnating on the same shit, but also spoiling you for choice.I really miss renting an N64 game and beating it in a weekend
>>201767561>you could still make fun of trannies and banter against gay people, but now it's off-limits.lol only if you're a weak beta bitch pussy.
The last time I went to Blockbusters was 2010. I rented 3 movies for 1 week. Goonies, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Curse of the Black Pearl. I also bought some snacks. One of them was crispy M&Ms
>>201767561You can still make fun of trannies today, it's even becoming mainstream now
>>201760578This guy is a fag. My city had mom and pops, franchises, Blockbusters. They all smelled like popcorn, had nice selections. Sure you'd run into a >all new copies rentedsituation occasionally, but it was nowhere near bad enough that it would sour the experience as he's describing.
>>201767684I'm talking about movies/shows and pop culture in general. LGBTQ+ was treated as a punch line. Now they're a protected class where a dude in a skirt can go to a female bathroom and molest/rape women or dudes can compete in women's sports now. A few weeks ago I saw a tranny with a massive beard, dress, and boots outside the coffee shop. You wouldn't get away with that in the 2000s outside of certain neighborhoods.
We have to go back.Everything ahead of us is gray and dark.
>>201767708Nice. I was too cheap to rent out movies at Blockbuster. I just borrowed them from my library and used to rip the DVDs.
>>201760018Be kind, please rewind.
>>201767787>A few weeks ago I saw a tranny with a massive beard, dress, and boots outside the coffee shop. You wouldn't get away with that in the 2000s outside of certain neighborhoods.Then why did you let that faggot get away with it pussy? Holy fuck am I sick of people bitching who won't do a fucking thing. Just last week I destroyed some tranny stand up ad they had at a grocery store. The fucking manager watched me do it and didn't say shit to me lol.
Anybody remember when Netflix used to deliver DVDs to your house?
>>201767832It was £5 each or 3 for £12 at my local. Great deal for the weekend.
>>201767899My dad was still getting them in the mail until they shut it off last year.

>>201767279I was 16 in 2014 and I at least didn't grow up with a screen only. Social media only penetrated real life for us at the age of 11 or 12 with MySpace, which is also not long after I got my first phone (not smartphone).People used to point this out about modern architecture, how you can go to LA and Johannesburg and see essentially the same buildings with any semblance of unique culture being very diminished, but that's just how young people seem to me now. The flavor of the month memes are just so ubiquitously adopted by people visibly from all walks of life, but they all use the same slang, value the same things, share the same tastes, while at the same time the range of socially acceptable choices feels narrower than before.I theorize that young internet users are essentially a global diaspora regardless of circumstances. They are so desperate to participate in web-derivative culture (such as often redundant euphemisms like "Beast" or "Rizz", indications of a culture that creates customs just to stand out for its own sake instead of practical utility) because they feel a lack of real life culture, which is a sort of disillusionment they might be more pre-disposed to than even my generation because they amputated themselves from real life at even earlier ages.
>>201768007Thats the idea and the ideal.Good luck to you anon.
>>201767969Based
>>201767981Everybody go back, We've fucked up.
>>201760018Scream 1 if they have any copies left
Why do you guys live in the past?Streaming is more convenient.
Lost count of how many times I got my dad to rent me this
>>201760062
I see that the streaming shills are now invading the thread.
>>201761123>Coke causes obesitylol
>>201770878>not memorizing the entire movie immediately upon viewing it for the first time and being able to replay it any time anywhere for the rest of your lifengmi
>>201771077This nigger doesn't know about Mexico lol.
>>201760189Kino>White Squall>Dragonheart>The Frighteners
hoping to grab Broken Arrow and 12 Monkeys but they are probably all rented
>>201760092You unironically look like him, not the eyes and not the hair either but still lmfaoo
>>201766069damn your life sucks shit
>>201765974you have the silicon valley tech disruptor dipshits to thank for that.
>>201760018I hated blockbuster. Streaming is much better.
>>201760018The Last Action Hero.Samurai X of course.
>>201760615I played Lego Island 2 at the library. It was awesome.Nowadays I see kids play Roblox at the library, which is fine.
>>201760747is there anywhere online with images like this? I would like to reminisce about that era.
>>201766069Never got to rent the new releases because they cost too much. Luckily my grandfather taped all the movies off hbo at home and let me borrow them so I got to see rated r stuff as a kid without my mom finding out
The Arrival
>>201770878How the hell do you break a DVD player? I still have some that I've had for well over two decades and they still work and one of them was the cheapest one you could buy for like £10. Even my PS2 still plays DVDs.
>>201760525That was mostly Gen x
>>201775562A lot of the early players lasers went to shit. Or they had issues buffering scratches.
>>201760018try to sneak something that looks like it has booba without triggering my parents senses too obviously
