When I go out, sometimes I'll have an absolute fucken blast, but more often than not, I run into a large amount of people with superiority complexes that can only be attributed to internet culture that has only emerged over the last 5-10 years.

FrobblOo WORLD STAR!!!!!

[@louloutre]

Maybe it's not only nostalgia.... I feel like so many things are so much better today : fashion, food, style in general, technology of course. Thanks to the internet, our lives have been improved A LOT : we can learn everything. How to speak a language, how to cook, how to style our hair and put our make up on, how to start a business, how to make a world tour.... Being a teenager was a nightmare till a few years ago. Except for a small minority from the upper class, nobody knew what to do with their hair, with their bad skin.... Young people were a lot more socially awkward because they couldn't improve their social skills on the internet. STILL, even if technically, except for music, a lot of things sucked..... the MINDSET was different. The 80's were about EXCITEMENT.... people felt like the world entered a new era of modernity and there was that "everything is possible" feeling. Now the most overwhelming feeling is FEAR..... fear of the future, of terrorism, of demography, of poverty. My mom always told me how young people didn't think about their old days during the 80's; Never. People didn't even think about buying houses..... renting was enough. People didn't think about the future, and that's a pretty strong indicator of a happier time for me.

people are probably fascinated by the camera. it wasn't as normal as it is today.

I agree! All these strangers are talking to each other...in a gas station! I'm shocked. I'm a cali girl and everyone minds their own buisness. Perhaps we casually fake smile when we accidentally meet eyes, but no one would just strike up a random conversation without wondering if something was up. I sense a majority of humans have trust issues and dont want to look like a dope and get pranked or be assaulted by some wierdo. However I have been randomly approached by rambling drug attics and/or homeless mumbles. But I used to live in San Bernardino, you dont survive unscarred just trusting everyone. Lol

I think we're just more desensitized to recording. A lot of these people seem to brighten up as they see a camera as tho conscious that they could end up on TV (home cameras were bulkier and clearly gave the impression of a small TV crew to some of them) It also helps this is 2 AM.
