You're not wrong, they were better times for sure. The wild west of the internet days full of questionable clicks to sites and downloads. We were so young. We had so much to learn!

I was not expecting to see this here, but here we are. And you bet your ass I'm singing it in my head.

Damn it! I swear that was the correct file. Oh well, here I go downloading again! I'm sure it'll be right this time right??

Then you end up hating the "original" because you associate the downloaded one as the original and then life can never be the same again.

Just load up Winamp and listen to it on your beige plastic speakers and forget the actual version exists.

Ah.

Memories.

Oh my god YES I completely forgot about that!!

Core memory unlocked! The anticipation of waiting for the download to complete and then hear something absolutely wrong was frustrating but I look back at it now and can't help but laugh.
