How retro are you?
 

Old school, or whatever.

I'm not bragging. Part of why I'm so retro has to do with what I grew up with and am used to. Part of it has to do with this thing I've had almost all my life against technological change, especially change that just seems to be about change for change sake, trendiness. Therefore, I hated Walkmans, I hated the CD revolution, and I hate iPods.

But here is how retro I am currently:

1. I prefer LPs over CDs.

2. I actually use a Walkman radio/cassette player.

3. I make mix tapes (as in cassette).

4. I use a cell phone that is more than 3 years old and looks like a walkie-talkie compared to everyone else's.

5. I like to go to movies in a movie theater, and the best ones are not in the mall but the ones you walk into off a city street (very hard to find anymore though).

6. I have never downloaded music.

My room's completely retro.
Old TV with wood paneling.
Old alarm clock w/ a tape player in it - wood paneling.
Record player.
1993 Chevy Cavalier - ghetto.
My boyfriend makes me mixed tapes.

Vintage is always the best.
They always are just for the sheer fact that if it's still around, you know it won't fail you now.

Props to that cell phone, I've always wanted to find a block - just because I want cancer that bad. Ha.

i'm not at all, i'm a real tech-head.

I have posted enough pix of my living room to adequately answer this question.

I'm not retro at all.Too busy living in the future to care about the past.

Porkmarras is a cyborg.
Gay cyborgs are the future.

I like old stuff but I have my feet in both sides.

I'm kinda retro, I suppose. But I still embrace some of the modern technological advances. I use computers for the internet, I like dvd's (but I'm not all up in the air about it, it's just a cool pregression in film technology), I have a cd player, but I fucking hate Ipod's just because they are so trendy. I think it's pretty interesting to be able to fit hundreds of song on a little plastic thing the size of your palm, but I'm also a huge proponent of albums and records. I wear old, ripped clothes and I have long, ratty hair. I don't,like whole lot of modern technology and I hate the modern music trends. Theymake me sick to my stomach.

I've been out of the technological loop my entire life. I'm always years behind on things, like DVDs, which took a while for me to acknowledge the existence of. That's not "retro" by any stretch of the imagination. It's much closer to laziness/apathy.

My room doesn't really have the look of any particular time period. It's just very, very cluttered.

Haha, amateur!
Mine's at least six years old nokia. and that's alot in a country where people change their mobile phones twice a year. It's not manufactured anymore and I'm not sure if you can even get batteries for it. Vintage!

I listen to CD over mp3. Whats a CD you ask? Go ask your parents, you Ipod fucker.

I have never owned a cell phone.

indie!

have never bought a mobile..
have been donated a couple of older cast off mobiles by friends and or parents but never used them much and am cuurently sans mobile phone
buy vinyl over cd
drive a car that has a cassette player so make mix tape cassetes thru necessity
the first post mentions not going to mall cinemas as being retro but i don't think that counts, at least not where i live...

More like "hermit."

Possibly. It is hard to be a hermit and live in Minneapolis. You should move to like Sunberg or Bird Island.

More like a relic that time and development once left on the side of the road.

That hurts! Yowtch.
I'm on the Interweb.
I just like being unavailable when I leave home.

that's why i never took to mobile phones... i don't want to be contacted so easily

I'm SUPER old school.

1. I drive a horse-drawn carriage, not a car.

2. I wear a tophat and coattails.

3. I carry a pocket watch that I wind up daily.

4. I have one of those looking glass things on a handle, that you hold up to one eye when you can't see very well.

5. My name is Jedediah.

6. I frequently wander around at night with a lantern.

7. I use an abacus, not a calculator.

8. I only drink milk that taken fresh from cows by farmhands.

9. I named my children by opening a Holy Bible and randomly pointing at words.

10. I believe the earth is flat, and that it is the center of the universe.
