Hey everyone, I'm Alex, and welcome to 'This is Fine, The Millennial Diary.' In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s and early 2000s, remembering life before and after the internet revolution. From banging on friends' doors to play outside to navigating dial-up internet and AIM, we explore how growing up in the glitch shaped our identities, creativity, and mental health. We'll dive into the evolution from VHS to memes, from TRL to 9/11, and how we've adapted through it all. Whether you're doom scrolling or reconnecting with an old friend, remember, we are the glitch generation, and we're still here. Don't forget to subscribe, follow, and stay tuned for more weekly episodes.
