  • Yeah, you can’t buy… anything that Radio Shack used to sell at the Source. It’s just cell phones and headphones now. It was still pretty ass before Bell bought it, but at least it had, you know, basic things like cables and solder when Circuit City owned it.




  • Eh. Generations are defined by a lot more than what clothes someone wore or what TV shows were being broadcast. Those things move quickly. Generations are usually marked by larger cultural touchstones.

    There are quite a few ways to try and slice the Millennial/Gen Z divide, for instance. An easy-on-paper ones are things like what generation your parents belonged to (Boomers/Gen X, respectively), for instance, though that just kind of pushes the issue back to a different generational divide. Or there’s the “do you remember the world before 9/11 happened?” metric. These point to differences in parenting, or differences in the larger socio-political culture within which one had their formative years, and they’re far, far wider reaching than fast fashion.
