Unassigned seats in movie theaters
Memory cards for game consoles. Switch still has them, but they're not as necessary for saves alone.
Having to burn CDs.
Having to wait until a TV show aired at a specific time

unassigned seats in movie theaters
Couldn't disagree more, I just want to show up and buy my ticket at the window, I don't want to F5 the theater website a week in advance for the showtime I want. I hate online sale of tickets for just about all in person events

Switch also just uses the same medium as every other mobile device (microsd) instead of some proprietary bullshit
Skinny jeans. They're coming back but I was so happy while they were gone
Some of us have been wearing skinny jeans this whole time
My incorrect genitals (me commenting from the future)
ADSL internet and dial up. Hard drives as boot drives. Those crappy 2000s era phones that filled the void between old school cellphones and smartphones. Only BlackBerry was decent, the rest were absolute trash. Cheapo digital cameras, thank goodness smartphones are good enough to take decent pictures now. Low quality MP3s. Modern lossy compression audio formats are so much better. Having to burn CDs and DVDs, that was a pain.

I liiiiked those, at least the later ones
I probably didnt have one long enough for it to break down or for me to get sick of it though. blackberries were much better in most ways but expensive and not exactly tanks themselves.
everything else is real as fuck but also very much problems of the digital age, created by the digital age lol

Music keeps getting better.
Ya, I need to broaden my music tastes more. I just keep listening to the same music I enjoyed before in my youth. But I heard the Grammy's were stacked this year with basically any of the albums of the year nominees being fit to win (at least other friends who are more into modern music have told me this) so that bodes well and fits with what you're saying.
I think that's one issue with music streaming being so easy and algorithmized is it keeps me in my music bubble too easily.
Movies are better than they were around 2010-11ish
Leading up to 2010 the movies were also hot garbage. It's no shock we let Disney buy everything.
