1.   I play Tapes, CDs, vinyl when at home

2. Haven't bought video games since the turn of the century i.e. N-64

3.  Most of my collected skate / ski videos are  VHS

4. Still ride one of those early 2000's 40lb bmx race frames

5. I sometimes use my Birdhouse Falcon lll

its not to say that i dont have iphone new bmx's Dhs or decks

Sometimes it's just nice to use things that used to be awesome

Anyone else like that?/

I am typing this with my flip phone. I think that counts. Also, I still use my penis.

I don't think vinyl is obsolete. CD's and cassetes are though.

I also rock the N64, although my room mate has a gameboy

i still have a pair of old ass shoes from like 2007 that i still slip into when i need to run outside for a quick sec. of all the shoes i own currently and are in way better shape (and just as easy to slip into), for some reason it's my default to toss on these pieces of shit that are falling apart.

People seem to ask why I wear a watch every day when you can just check your phone.
1. Its faster
2. Checking your phone can be seen as rude/unprofessional
3. Stylish

Dont see why watches are seen as outdated by some people

I've had the same pair of shoes (some wool lined vans slip on's) since 7th grade, and I'm a sophomore in college right now, so for like 7 years now. They stay at home but I still wear them all the time around the house when I'm back

Gameboy Advance, my dad's and grandpa's old ties, which I guess can't be outdated. VHS, I guess CD's are considered outdated, vinyl, a victrola.

I prefer to call people rather than text
Up until recently, all of my cars have had a manual transmission (ohhh how I love my DSG though)
I occasionally buy CDs to listen to them in my car
I still get magazine subscriptions in the mail

I've got a chromed out, heavy as shit 1988 gt vertigo bmx i cruise about on. I could get a new bmx but i like the classic look of it. I agree with the watch comment although ive a nixon newton so doesnt exactly look like a watch but its an effort to check my phone for the time. I love playing pokemon yellow on my gameboy. Got a paper subscription to powder, love it.

I use real razors. Both saftey and straight. The shave is about the same, and it saves a ton of money.

Yes! My buddy has a board from the 80s that we ride every once in a while. 30 year old bearings that work just as good as mine. I got my uncle's old board that's from some time around the 70's. It's actually a piece of wood with roller skate wheels. Now that's obsolete.

I love buying CDs.
And up until a year ago, I used a cast iron skillet to toast my bread and a pot to boil water for tea (as opposed to a kettle)
I also enjoy pens, paper and books - as opposed to typing, and ebooks.
