This is both embarrassing and awesome..! I was looking through some folders on my seven-year old Sony Vaio desktop (which has outlived a laptop I bought only four years ago) and found something I couldn't believe I still had - a folder full of music videos that I hadn't opened since 2005!
The reason why this is a big deal is that it's from right before YouTube. Back in those days, if you were stoned or drunk and wanted to watch a certain music video, you had to download the whole file to your computer. Everyone wanted high-speed internet not only for the ability to download songs illegally in less than a minute, but because it made downloading and watching music videos actually feasible - that could take days on a 56k modem.
Basically I have a record of all the dumb music videos me and my friends put on when we smoked weed when we were innocent little high school kids. It's funny cause you can tell I'm probably gay by the few random campy ones scattered around. So if you feel like judging me as a 17-year old, click the link below to check out the collection...
