I'm glad that when I was a teen no one had a camera in their pocket. Festivals, parties, school... no one recorded me throwing up, falling over, getting rejected.

I was on the cusp. We all had the gen 3-4 smartphones and iPhones back in high school. This was 2012ish and camera phones weren’t new.

Interestingly though, no one filmed any of the shit you’d film today. It wasn’t the pocket camera, it’s the audience wanting to see it, and the platforms that made it available.

I graduated in 2007 like literally right before everyone had smart phones.

Hell I didn't even have a phone until I was like 18.

I miss those days, even as I sit here on my phone.
