It's this Chat's first birthday in two days, though (!!).

Actually, before you came along it was 3 months. It was something of a chore to log in every day back then and have to catch up by reading five pages of posts, most of them

. There was always a VM, PM or rep message to read upon login back in ye old days

But then that Australian guy can come along and tell us about the real old days

**mishkin** · April 20, 2018, 03:33 AM

Australians. Pfff.

(that's how the real good conversations start)

**Mhaedros** · April 20, 2018, 10:36 AM

Mishkin, you're old. Tell us about the noughties.

**mishkin** · April 20, 2018, 12:39 PM

The nineties. We listened to music stations and had to go to the cinema to watch a movie. The paleolithic

(Seriuosly, It was great to suddenly hear a song on the radio that you loved, and discover songs like that, totally by chance).

The nineties were the best

And this

it's funny how memory works, I had managed to forget the techno music of the time.

if you want to laugh at the outdated guy: I had no idea who Avicii was. (RIP).

Same bruh

**Diamat** · April 20, 2018, 07:08 PM

The 50s were a great time. I often think I was born in the wrong decade. I hate all forms of current music. I listen mostly to old country and bluegrass. When it comes to German music, I listen to Volksmusik and Jodel. In Korea, I listen to music from the 60s (e.g., Lee Mi-ja). What is wrong with me.

But how can you not like this?

Unless you were black

**Diamat** · April 20, 2018, 07:38 PM

*black in the United States

**Commissar Caligula_** · April 20, 2018, 07:44 PM

Australia was pretty bad as well, stealing Aboriginal's kids and giving them to white people to raise.

**Diamat** · April 20, 2018, 08:15 PM

Ironically, I heard that black people were doing pretty well in Germany at around this time.

**Inkie** · April 20, 2018, 11:49 PM

I decided to Google that and came up with a fascinating read. Not comprehensively-sourced, but still.

**Lord Oda Nobunaga** · April 21, 2018, 12:07 AM

They were also doing well in France. Josephine Baker became an instant sensation in Paris back in 1927.

**mishkin** · April 21, 2018, 03:08 AM

I have not read Inkies article, but I doubt that a black man without any special quality would be treated with much respect in the streets of any European city of the time (I mean, never, actually).
