Nostalgic Lost Media (ft.@blameitonjorge )

Thanks for having me on again man! :)

Just so you and your veiwers are aware the internet archive is at risk of being shutdown and or restricted! We may lose tons of data from the past if that were to happen.

And if several massive corporations have their way, you won’t have an Internet archive anymore to view. the whole thing makes me mental thinking that private corporations are trying to shut down basically what would be considered everyone’s virtual library. The Internet archive is an extremely important tool for all of us.

fun fact! there is still a huge push in the gorillaz community to revive the plastic beach website. i know that in the official gorillaz discord server, the mods had gotten word to the band's management about taking steps to bring the website back. as of now, that has been sidelined but hope is not lost! it is possible we'll see a revival of plastic beach sometime in the future :)

the internet archive is in hot water right now...

Even just two seconds of Dreamscape by 009 Sound System was instantly recognizable...

This is what happens if your only mode of storage is digital. If your machine breaks down, or if solar flares take place... you lose everything (and by the way solar flares have occurred throughout Earth's history). I personally lost all of my photos from the early 2000s which were stored only on my computers and not printed. But I still have all my photos from earlier times taken with analog cameras in photo albums... even photos of my great-grandparents are still around in the albums.

Gorillaz has a bunch of lost/unreleased media they actually planned and cancelled movies and tv shows as recent as 2020. A big reason why fans are especially interested in plastic beach media is because they did plan to release stuff but because they ran out of money a lot of things had to be cut. For example they originally planned to make a music video for every song in order to tell the story (every album has a storyline) but because they couldn’t they instead had Murdoc host a radio show where fans would get updates. The album itself wasn’t as successful as the previous and because of internal issues between the creators Gorillaz went on hiatus. I think that played a major role as to why plastic beach never got sea sides

my man says "in the early 2000s" and shows a desktop with a minecraft icon on it

SAVE THE INTERNET ARCHIVE

The minecraft chapter is so dreamy and could be part of dying worlds

being one of the people who discovered all the stuff about the Slender prototypes, so happy that somebody is finally talking about it.

the internet archive or an archival resource is essientially for both historical and cultural purposes which is why companies endangering the internet archive is disconcerting.

What a great video!! Usually for lost media videos they’re presented as scary/ominous, but you made them really relaxing and pleasant, really cool!!

Thank you for using my track 'Forgotten' 💙 didn't expect it to be right at the begining haha

Idk if Jorge’s original video is nostalgic yet since it’s not been ten years yet but only…9…and I was a freshman in college while a ton of you were…children…. God

It's pretty crazy but I played one of the earliest versions of roblox, I can't remember the exact one but it must have been between 2005-2008. I absolutely don't have the files anymore though and I only ever played it once when looking for an online lego game.

12:58 oh god I really can’t hear the words grimace and shake in the same sentence normally anymore

I really love the editing and narration in this one, particularly in the Minecraft segment. Usually I'm not spooked by Minecraft horror stories, but the way you presented it is so eerie that it actually got me on the edge of my seat.

The old minecraft gameplay was so nostalgic. I completely forgot that they changed most of the textures
