Mixtape and the Interactive Movie (Gaming)

Partly, that's because this game could basically be about me. That was my high school experience. I was Rockford in a lot of ways, the annoying music kid. I had my iPod with me at all times with at least one earbud in 24/7. I knew the stupidest trivia about my favorite bands.

As someone who was an actual teenager in the 90s, it all felt somewhat anachronistic to me. It feels like memories of the 90s filtered through the lens of an 80s movie. The 90s was such a wild decade, because early, mid, and late 90s were all pretty radically different. There was some overlap that just didn't match my experience. Granted I spent those years in Michigan rather than NorCal, but it was just off somehow.
