Team Background

• Many team members have a background in web subculture: Soulseek, Guitar Tabs, IRC, RateYourMusic, Last.fm, Obscure Music Blogs, and hacking/homebrew communities.

• Many team members feel that the web is not as magical in 2017 as it was in 2009. We all believe that the web has many possibilities that have not been realized: we are working together to realize those possibilities.

That is pretty cool. Do you have any websites that make you feel nostalgic for the past? Any interesting websites in 1990's and early 2000's as well?

Yeah! But there is no aesthetics here at all! There is no sense of wonder and magic whatsoever!

This is a cool website here!

Have you seen these websites before? If you know any subculture internet user in 1990's or early 2000's, you should ask them what they think of the internet now! Unless you have the experience, otherwise you can't tell the difference.

Today, my Uber driver was a DJ and he mentioned how stink the internet is. He is still using Usenet now. This is how pathetic internet nowadays.

And Silicon Valley is the least creative place I've lived. It is quite pathetic. It is "creative" through "newspaper" only. You can't argue against their success.

Nothing is more successful than success. You can't argue against success.
