This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Add in ruined music to that. Shitty speakers, super lossy codecs to preserve cellular bandwidth, even shittier Bluetooth compression, listening to music on a phone is convenient but it sounds like shit. And we've got generations of people who think that's what music is supposed to sound like.
Unless you have a Sony phone or an LG V series phone. The DACs on those are incredible (for phones at least)
There was an article on Hacker News a little ways back, about this very phenomenon in China. Basically there's now a generation that has profound nostalgia for the absolutely awful and dirt-cheap playback tech available over a 30 years ago. To the point that "music doesn't sound right" on newer tech, and may well be outright un-listenable without crappy hardware in play. By this, I think we can predict that "Bluetooth audio emulation" on newer and better devices, is absolutely going to be a thing eventually.
