Remember how cool the Internet used to be?

"Hey Internet, tell me about some cool indie bands in Brooklyn."

Internet of 2006, your first search result is some crazy kid who lives in Brooklyn, loves live music, sees shows every night, and wakes up eager to tell the world about them.

Internet of 2016, your first search result is sponcon for a bar in Queens.

Internet of 2020, it's an ad to see Taylor Swift in Las Vegas.

Internet of 2026, it's an AI asking you if you're planning a trip to New York, and wondering if you need help booking plane tickets.

If I was a kid today, I'd be furious that my parents let something so wonderful, so human, so connective turn into something so lame.
