The piece was fine. I'm just not a fan of the characterization that this is an old thing that gen x people don't appreciate it because it doesn't sell ads? This is the most gen x thing I've seen all day, and don't worry the new generation is just as sick of this ad-infested internet as everyone else, we just didn't know there was another way. It's... Naive, imagining that this kind of content doesn't exist anymore. It exists, peruse reddit for 5 mins and you will find a similar site. But now we have so many apps that bring real value to our lives, I think what people really miss is the feeling of the internet being a toy, rather than a mature system that has both value and consequences.

And anyway, Zombocom was the kind of dumb humor that we (millenial teenagers, at the time) loved. Next they'll try to tell us that Badger Badger Mushroom embodied the fact that GenX was over lyrics, or something.

      That's the Levan polka you linked to, though. Leekspin comes from a meaningless part of the song so there are only approximate phonics recorded by various people, e.g. - https://dodecalogue.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/on-leekspin/ https://dodecalogue.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/on-leekspin/
