That would be cool to see but I don't know if they'd put something like that in the show.

Yeah, even if Equestria does have that level of technology, I think we'd be far more likely to see them with Compact Cassettes since those were so strongly associated with the '80s. Like we saw in one of the covers for MLP:FiM #11 (part 1 of Neigh Anything, one of the biggest '80s love letters that I've ever seen):

Yeah, going by the show Equestria puts it's music on Vinyl LP,s. And maybe cassettes if you wanna count the cover as more then a fun shout out.

Then there was that 1-panal Vinyl Scratch had an iPod, but one could argue that was just done for comedy... Or who knows maybe being a big wig in the music biz she gets new tech first.

As how an iPod would work in Equestria, my guess is there's a spell unicorns can use to transfer songs from LPS & cassettes to the device.

Meaning Earth ponies & Pegasui probably don't like em very much. :gotcha:

Or maybe it was just a cassette player that looked like an iPod. :pinkieshrug:

I only just noticed the can of "Colt" in the upper right. :v:

Cadance/Shining Armor is one of those comic arcs that only gets better the more I look back on it. I really need to dig it out again and do a reread.

So I guess the old formula was Colta Cola? :crack:

I wish they'd do another 80's themed MLP comic.

And I just realized the records are day and night themed, and the night one has best princess on the sticker. :yay:

That's not just Colt, it's New Colt- The worst marketing blunder in the history of Equestria.

Three months later, they brought back Colt Classic and everyone went about forgetting New Colt ever existed.

I think it's all in the choice of shaders to get that kind of soft matte plastic effect, and give it some light glow around the edges.

Yeah, probably in another decade or so. The '80s references present in FiM are likely there since there's a good chance that the parents of today's 6-to-12-year-old children (i.e. the target audience) are going to be '80s kids themselves. Once people who grew up in the '90s start having kids and those kids start consuming media... well, you'll see.

Thankfully Y2K was called the worst decade ever and 2010 doesn't have any worthwhile pop culture overall so odds are after they finish with 80s & 90s nostalgia they will cycle back to the 40's or 50's and just keep doing a cycle of 20th century nostalgia from now until the human race is eventually wiped out by aliens, demons or hyper intelligent dolphins. :gotcha:

But yea I agree media Nostalgia should never go past 1999!

I guarantee that future generations will discover and use new technologies that make our computers and phoned look positively quaint. Besides, everyone goes through dull stuff, but you don't tend to remember it unless you actually lived through it.

How did our childhoods become boring? Did you have multiple so that you could compare how boring they were? Or is it because old people are scared of technology so the current generation's childhood hasn't had time to be romanticized?

I mean seriously, I've seen pictures of people complaining newspapers would make people antisocial, and that never caused the collapse of society. And it's not like people in the past were all completely happy and sociable until these evil boxes came into their lives.

Don't worry, everyone. If a decade exists, people will find a way to feel nostalgia for it!

I mean, if it happened with the 80s, it can happen with anything. :gotcha:

Whoa, calm down there, whipper snapper, I didn't say anything about destroying society.

I simply said it took more effort to do things pre-2000 then it does now. It kinda forced people to be more social and the more human interaction you have the better chances you'll have for a better story to tell.

I mean back in the day the only way for people to find out about what shows they liked was either hearing about it on TV or read about it in a magazine. You had no idea what was coming out next year and there certainly wasn't any spoilers unless they wanted you to know about it. If you missed an episode you had to hope you catch the rerun a month later. The only people you had to talk about the show with was your own personal friends and family and you hope they shared the same interests as you do. Now it only takes about a minute to find out all the information you want about a show. No one would have any idea there would even be a season five unless there was a commercial for it.

If you wanted to buy a collectable toy you had to blindly drive from store to store hoping someone has it in stock.

If you wanted to call someone you had to go into the room where you kept the phone at and hoped the person your calling was home. That or just go to their house and hope they were there. That was the only way to contact people.

If you wanted help on a video game you either bought the strategy guide or called a hotline between certain business hours. (screw that stupid barrel on Sonic 3!!!!!! >.<)

Nowadays you can do all that at your leisure in the comfort of your own home. So yes, any story that gradually declines in interaction and adventure would be considered boring by any stretch of the imagination.
