About this listen

In this episode of The Gen-Existentialists, Scot and Bunny ring in 2026 by asking why kids are suddenly obsessed with our old junk—vinyl, VHS, Polaroids, cassette tapes, even dumb phones. Is it really about “warm sound” and “aesthetic,” or is it a quiet rebellion against sterile streaming, subscription culture, and empty bedrooms that look like IKEA showrooms? Along the way, they rant (lovingly) about the death of manuals, the joy of gatefold album art, forbidden media, Ultima V trinkets, and why Gen X is perfectly happy to love modern tech…without pretending the analog era wasn’t a giant pain in the ass.
