older millennials can remember a pre internet time where culture was a little easier to heavily influence by record labels and shit because where else could teens go for culture? like now you have the internet and you can go on tumblr or reddit or whatever and any of the million sub communities there to develop culture. Corporate influence is still very much there of course (see the part with reddit, tumblr, and the massive advertising industry that drives it all, etc) but itll never be as concentrated as it was in 1994

Thats probably why corporate interests are trying to ruin the internet. You know how people say the internet is only 4 websites now where people just share clips and screenshots of the 3 sites over and over? Condense it down and you get it a lot closer to that 1994 effect. You lose the charm of having a bunch of geocities pages about putting cats in jars and peoples weird looney tunes fetishes and shit but then you have a sanitized advertiser friendly internet thats easy to browse and much more contained
