...life is memorable.
I became an audiophile Fall 1986, when I was a high school sophomore. My school had a total enrollment of 2,500 or so, but with more girls than boys. Culturally, we were the heart of the MTV generation.
What older audiophiles don't understand is that we got a lot of new music from dances. Moreover, the dances had themes. Those dances were sometimes partnered with rallies, multi-culti days, casino night, dress-up, and other activity clubs. Every week, audiophiles email me, that they (a) never went to dances, and (b) still wouldn't get caught dead in one.
While we pulled through adolescence in the late-80s and early-90s, high-end audio had to trudge through a recession. It then exploded, in the early-to-mid 90s, and brought in new customers.
My friend above lamented that UC Santa Cruz was on the academic quarter system. From September to June, it was go go go. By the time she felt okay with a guy, the quarter would come to an end. The next quarter brought about different class schedules, and there was no guarantee, that she'd cross paths with that guy. Each quarter, your dating pool changed.
And then there was summer. Some stayed in their college town. Some went back to their respective hometowns. Others traveled. Except for the summer between junior and senior year, I stayed with relatives in Honolulu, and idiotically took hard classes. For better or for worse, you don't forget!
My friends typically did not take too many photos, in the 80s and 90s. Those we do have run the gamut, as far as clarity goes. We scan them the best we can. Often times, the best we can do, is provide photos taken years later, when we have re-visited places from our past.
A minority of my friends did keep a journal or diary. More retained materials from school. Sigh, if it's from high school, each page has our name, date, and homeroom. Since I was lousy in math and science, I was defenseless against a smart girl who had neat/pretty handwriting.
Now that our Gen Z kids are in high school and college, we've come full circle, and the music from our own high school and college days (a) keeps the memories alive and vivid, and (b) takes on new meaning.
