Speak for yourself. We still have LAN parties. Plenty of times its online and thats ok. But we regularly gather up our computers on wheels and drag them everywhere. Sixteen to twenty xboxes is quite a sight.

If anything its gotten larger. Plenty of us bring kids with their own computers.

We all have dedicated server hardware. Monthly get-togethers at least. Mostly Factorio and similar but also quake/doom and quite a few others. We can still link back home for files and add more server space. We've now got the skills and hardware to do things we previously couldn't.

Why should we only remember the good ol days when we can live them right now? As for the music, the best stuff has just been written. Why limit yourself, anyway? We have a catalog of way more than fifty years!
