Such a weird microcosm of early aughts Cali culture. Mainly inconsequential pre-smartphone high school drama

It turns out that if you don't look at your iPhone, you can convince yourself that the world is still in the early 2010s. Bring some friends and skateboards to the Trading Post and watch the hipsters buy overpriced band tees. Bump some Odd Future and NERD, and take photos on a shitty digital camera. To finish off the day, see some high schoolers play a punk show at Genghis Cohen to remind yourself why we all wanted a supreme box tee back in 2013.

Ultimate hipster millennial derpcore faux-reality MTV show. I honestly had to google it to see if it existed or if it was an amalgamation of the 2010 vibe that turned out to be my own fever dream.
It came out when I was a freshman in high school. this was pre-smartphone and i spent a lot of time watching MTV in the morning before school.
My husband is a couple years older than me and was also a MTV kid, but he’d never heard of this show. I made him watch the clip of the titular Liz covering “The Funeral” by Band of Horses and he couldn’t stop laughing. It is just SO 2010, if you weren’t there, this will put you there. For today’s kids, it sounds like that one clip on instagram live of that child singing that british tiktok song (M to the B?) in cursive and the other girl on the live is smiling with tears in her eyes from trying not to laugh. This is the environment where that voice started lol
I am genuinely curious if anyone else remembers this show or if I was the only one that watched it and somehow didn’t realize it was entirely scripted.

late 80s mtv/vh1-adjacent style music publication show, documenting artists in the music scene at the time. the kind of media we are desperately lacking in today's world

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones ☺️
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
