It was a different time โ of course it was. Everyone you knew could fit in an AOL friend list. Your second home was in ramshackle message boards with the 12 other strangers who loved Death Cab for Cutie before it was cool. You couldnโt possibly know that there were tens of thousands more people like you out there. The world still felt small; loving something still felt intimate.
