There was a time when my main aim of a choosing a certain ringtone was to appear edgy and cool ... and how annoying and wrong was I!
A sample of bad ringtone (auto-tuned baby crying) which was trending back then (2007-2008) was [1]. Thankfully I never used it.

- bamboozled 1y agoSo much nostalgia,I use to love the drop from various rave and hardcore hits at the time, it just felt so tech. Alphazone Flashback for example: https://youtu.be/EWP3DC9utk0?si=rxI7nop6oqaHKtQQ&t=225 https://youtu.be/EWP3DC9utk0?si=rxI7nop6oqaHKtQQ&t=225 I felt like these song as rings tones went well with the optimism around technology at that time which I feel has just been crushed by internet giants and the rise of surveillance capitalism and social media. There was something great about early phone based digital photography and it being offline, so convenient yet completely "yours" (for example). Definitely don't feel as if it's all bad, but that optimism doesn't exist anymore in my opinion.
