Tell me you were raised upper middle class without telling me you were upper middle class..

My poor ass had a Walkman CD player that was half-broken when it was given to me and I carried that thing until 2006.

A couple middle aged techbros without kids that my dad knew were on this level, but nobody I knew had anything close. Most had either a good stereo or a computer. I didn't have both until 2010.

Is it weird that I get nostalgic for an experience I never had? (the experience being the above picture) I can see myself chilling on a Friday night playing Red Alert, listening to gangstas paradise and alannis morisettes "ironic" (in that order for the lols) and printing off the guidebook for super Mario 64.

I wouldn't call being nostalgic for that weird at all considering I am nostalgic for a lot of 90s cartoons and music and games despite it not being my time.
