An Ode to Winamp by Ryan Sims
“…Winamp was a key part of what it was like to come of age right at the end of the millennium (and first tech bubble).”

Forever by Tavi Gevinson
“Forever is when your brain is still developing, so everything sticks, like a lot. Forever is when you have tunnel vision because you (I) have not yet understood that you (I) are (am) not the center of the world, so you (I) grant yourself (myself) permission to see things as though you (I) are (am). I don’t recommend it as a lifestyle, but there’s something to be said for having this much time to just think about you, what you like, what you believe in, how you feel.”
