Who wants in? We can talk about what is was like to write a letter to your grandma or having no other way to ask someone out other than by calling them on the phone. Or checking out movies at Blockbuster or whatever your national equivalent was (we usually checked out videos at the grocery store, actually).
We’re cool because we can actually remember the USSR and “East” Germany. Although not as cool, I can remember when homophobia and transphobia was so much more widely accepted and the “default” position for most Americans. Not as cool.

Video rental stores were great. Recording songs off the radio onto cassette tapes. Trading PC games on 5 1/4 floppies. Dot matrix printers
Yes, recording songs off the radio was huge. My siblings and I would even make whole radio shows and do it entirely by starting recording and stopping, so everything had to be produced in the order it would happen on the show.
