Remember when it was cool to have a CD player?
When the family piled into the car for a road trip to their favorite vacation spot, remember when you grabbed the slick and shiny CD player and very hip headphones along with it? Not only did you have to remember the CD player, but you had to remember the batteries, the correct sizes and probably a couple extra just in case. Don’t forget about the cool CDs. Your arms are full by this point, carrying the CD player itself, the headphones, batteries, and finally the music itself in random disarray in plastic cubby folders. After piling yourself and your items into the car, your pretense of “cool” has become, you realize, quite the ordeal. The trip itself may only last a couple hours, but being uncool was not an option.
CD players were a necessity for teens on these long trips, joggers who could not run without a beat, parents looking for an escape, or finally, the simple everyman in need of esoteric muse. The musically inclined individual may still appreciate the durability of the CD player especially if only they are inclined to dropping their music players.
Remember CD players? Yes, once upon a time, CD players were cool.
