10 Albums That Defined the Crazed Dotcom Flame-out

Posted by Moezilla at 23:16, 21 Nov 2009

"So where were you 10 years ago? Getting involved in a drug-fueled polyamorous relationship? Making more money than you were entitled to?" A former DJ remembers the 10 albums "that defined the dotcom era".

Remembering the 90s as "the time of Napster's infinite-mp3-download-orgy," Steve Robles asks whether there could be a nostalgia craze for music from the era. "Someone sold a lot of kids on the idea that the Brave New World had been reached," he points out, also arguing that there's now a subsequent bleakness "which continues to this day."

"When that wave of prosperity which brought us there - for a happy, shiny moment - rolled back violently, these kids found out even drugs wouldn't help."

You have to see the made for dvd movie called ZecTek.com. This is a pre IPO shocker of the dot com explosion as it rose, shook the world and than fizzled. Though a fictional start-up, it takes you into the real world as it happened with narrations into the cloudy bubble of the dot com foolery, trickery and gobs of money to be had for the taking.
