1. The midnight sales were where you went to meet the other hardcore fans waiting in line for an album.
2. The song parody leak beggings were kinda funny. Or at least showed more creativity than post #8,756 that just says "dammit, why hasn't it leaked yet?"
But overall, it's not an age thing. It's a personality thing. I feel the same way when I feel old for not knowing or caring about the shit that's on the hit radio stations until I remember that that's been true since sometime in my teens or so. When I was young, I still didn't care about any of that shit. Looking back on the midnight release thing - there were times I waited in line for quite a bit. And sometimes, it would be a bit after midnight that the store would open it's doors. Assuming the weather was decent, I never spent the time whining about how long they were taking to open the doors or counting down until midnight etc. I used the time to meet people who were also willing to wait outside for a couple hours just to hear their favorite band's new music before everybody else. So while it's not the same situation, I think I can say with relative confidence, that if I was about 15 years younger, I'd still agree with him completely.
Now if I'm going to bitch and whine like I'd like to about the lack of a physical CD Halo single for any HM tracks (which I'm tempted to), that you can chalk up to "get off my lawn you damn kids" old age.
