    Oh man, I got my start on the Sneap forum as well around 2001. At one point there was a forum all-stars vote, and I was included in that along with Kazrog and a few others. I remember Shane and I were getting such crazy guitar tones out of a POD, that we had to send Andy and everyone else our presets, haha. I'm pretty sure we originally met there as well, Ola.

      I remember Andy asking advice how to export them while talking to him on AIM.

      Was diobolic5150, isn't it?

    the interwebs is so jaded now. The forum culture used to cultivate knowledge, sharing, and creativity. Nowadays, if you post something asking for advice, or help with anything; you have to weed through tons of bashing and BS to get to the few replies with actual help. I miss those days!!!!

      It's generally a problem with communities growing too large. Partially because of trolls seeping in, but when questions get repeated on the same platform over and over again, I get the frustration.

    • @_Stroda
      @_Stroda Před 5 lety

      ​@X E There's an entire generation between 'boomers' and 'millennials'. 'Generation X'.
      I agree that it makes sense to divide millennials up, more so than with the generations immediately preceding and following, but I think you've gotta move the cut off to around 1990.
      I was born at the end of the 80s. I was unusual in that I had internet (and computer) access at home for as long as I can remember. Ubiquitous internet access, smart phones, etc. didn't really take off until people my age were, by the standards of many countries, 'adults'.
      That aside, forums are social media. Social media more broadly was created largely by Generation X and older millennials. Niche forums still exist. Magazines still exist.
      'Dragged onto social media by younger siblings and older parents'? Eh. Definitely appeared to me like it happened the other way around.

    • @_Stroda
      @_Stroda Před 5 lety

      @X E It sounds quite like you've decided that your experiences were more universal than I imagine they were. It was the kids your sort of age I remember as getting into all the modern things, phones in particular first. Which makes sense, given that people your age were still young and yet far more likely to be working in some form and have the money to get things.
      I'm struggling to think of parents (mostly boomers) that were happy with their kids my age having phones (either because they were the ones paying or because they had, largely ungrounded, fears about them).
      I don't think the love of analogue equipment is really linked to anything asides having the money to afford it. I know a lot of people that play/make music. The vast majority (at least those making guitar/rock based music), regardless of age, seem to be of the 'analogue is best!!' persuasion. I have plenty of friends and acquaintances that seem to feel that their tube equipment is superior to the Kemper that I rely upon near exclusively. Everything seems to be about gear and tone. I'm only interested in making music.
