All that and also going to the record stores that had the stands with a cd players and headphones and you could just stand there and listen. 

As a 10yo I was listening to everything they had on the stand that month, Metallica St. Anger, Robbie Williams, shitty local agro rock, whatever just came out. 50yo beardy guy in leather jacket I never spoke to, but we used to stand there less than a meter distance from each other for more than a year. It feels absolutely fucking unreal today…
