Do you remember when you were young? Or not so young perhaps, but coasting on the ebb and flow of life in those gloomy pre-internet days? Maybe it was 1995, or hell maybe it was even 1999, right before we achieved symbiosis with that faceless, yet beautiful ocean of information that is the internet. Anyway, I remember going to high school and chatting shit with my pals - sports, music, pop culture, girls, you name it - and more often than not there was a story to be told. Something like, "Hey did you see that new Britney video?? geez she's slamming!", or, "You guys read the paper today? That story about the guy who got his balls caught in a coke can??", and everyone would be like, "No I haven't! TELL ME ABOUT IT." Then would ensue the sacred (and somewhat lost) art of storytelling. Archaic. Flash foward ten or so years, "LINK ME!"
I love Link Culture. It's truly evolved our ability to share the most trivial pieces of information, and given us instant access to wonderfully hilarious/interesting/sad/disturbing stories, videos, pictures, songs, etc. It's become an art form to plumb the depths of the internet to retrieve and share these golden links. Like a miner shining the light on his cap into the pitch black, thousands of kilometres down the shaft, shovelling, picking, scraping at the dirt, we too shine our lights into the darkness, probing the immeasurable archival web.
Grab a pick-axe. LINK ME.
