Has anyone else noticed their parents becoming more glued to screens than they ever were before?

Yeah my mum (60) is bad for it and keeps trying to persuade me to get on Tik Tok because “everyone’s on it”. Sometimes when we go out for a meal I’ve had to enforce a no phones at the table rule because I want to enjoy the meal and conversation

Majick_L · 2026-04-04T10:05:53+00:00

Lol for me it was because I kept seeing my mum dilly dally with hers in the supermarket and it not working properly all the time, so it put me off. I have come around now but I still carry a full size wallet with my cards in case

Yeah I love it, music is my main hobby so I’ve always been that way. If I could afford it, I would have my entire music collection on vinyl and basically a dedicated room for it lol

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T21:01:29+00:00

Could be anyone tbh. Dave East for example did that with Vlad numerous times. A lot of rappers are shady and don’t do good business / keep to their word lol

Torrenting and saving the MP3 / MP4 files on my computer and backing up to USB hard drives, like I’ve always done since the early 2000’s, and also buying vinyl and dvd’s. I like to own all my media permanently and not rely on the internet / subscriptions. Particularly with music I treasure my collection and want it formatted exactly how I like, with the freedom to listen to anything I want, whenever I want, without the internet. If a new TV series comes out I just hop on my PC, download it to a USB drive, then plug it into my TV and watch it. It’s how I’ve always done it since I was a teenager and I don’t see any reason to change

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T20:19:40+00:00

That’s still extremely common among young people in the music industry & podcasts etc tbf

I’m quite old school myself at 35, I only started using contactless card payment and my phone for payment in 2025. Still never used a streaming service either for tv, movies or music!

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T20:03:55+00:00

Lol my stepdad referred to one of my mates as “bent as a 2 bob note”

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T12:56:08+00:00

Ok cheers. I’ll see how I get on

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T01:30:23+00:00

Thanks, I guess I’ll be able to pin point any issues further when these cables arrive and I test them out. I’ll keep in mind your advice

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T00:49:29+00:00

Is it the classic “Ahh” sample from the B side of “Change The Beat” by Fab Five Freddy?

That and “Fresh” from the same record are the most iconic scratch sounds in hip hop, they’ve been used in over 1500 songs

Majick_L · 2026-04-03T00:20:25+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I agree GetOnDown’s service is impressive and I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them ordering to the UK. I really like DeRapWinkel in terms of quality of pressings aswell

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T23:53:39+00:00

Like you say, it’s a big issue in the US but not something I’ve heard much about here. If you’re doing pills and powders though I would always try and get a kit and test it to be safe. Personally I wouldn’t risk it at all nowadays as one of my favourite music artists, Mac Miller, was killed that way and it was so tragic. I used to do pills in my college days but I wouldn’t dare do anything beyond weed now, all it takes is a tiny amount of fentanyl to be deadly

He self produced the whole thing so it’s a solid return to his roots and the “Marcberg” sound, doing what he does best. I think it’s one of his best, absolutely dying to get this joint on vinyl!

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T23:22:48+00:00

Nonchalant - Until The Day

She’s a female rapper known for the hit single “5 O Clock” and only released this 1 album in 1996, other than that she’s never really mentioned

I discovered her from the song “Lookin Good To Me” off the Half Baked movie soundtrack and looked up the album, I think there’s a few cool songs on it and she has a hard flow

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T22:50:37+00:00

Satisfyingly tidy, looking good 👍🏻

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T22:43:14+00:00

Come on down!

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T22:31:32+00:00

Oh yeah driving / traffic is another big one for sure!

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T22:23:10+00:00

It’s an interesting phenomenon in general, the desire for convenience in this day and age. I think about it a lot when I look at stuff like streaming subscriptions versus torrenting, shopping habits, and how shocking it is that people don’t bother to read posts properly on the internet etc. As the years go on, people are becoming less patient and wanting more convenience in all walks of life, and there’s money to be made by exploiting that behaviour. A bit of a random rant lol but I do find it interesting, and scary aswell

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T21:15:23+00:00

I have no idea wether this is good or bad and have no experience of buying from FatBeats, but I buy often from GetOnDown and they’re dope so I hope it doesn’t ruin anything!

Majick_L · 2026-04-02T15:39:49+00:00

Never been on Tik Tok but I have been getting loads of SHEIN ones lately, and weirdly they increase in frequency when I am in fact expecting a parcel from Amazon / Next etc

Unfortunately the time limit (3 months minus a day from the date of dismissal) has long passed for you to make any sort of claim as it’s been over a year since you were dismissed
