To the point where people have forgotten basic human decency and try and manipulate lower class people or instead lash out at anyone they can and most of that is because of the advances in social media, apps and modern ways of communicating which have changed so drastically to our normal natural organic way that existed for 100's of years.

She was such a beautiful, kind, talented soul throughout her life and she’s missed by so many people. I’m glad for the very brief encounter I had with her as a kid.

She comes off really sweet. Unpretentious. She's totally a girl of her time, before internet became big, she's picking just good-natured feel-good stuff, she's not trying to pick some classics to show-off how cultured and sophisticated she is. It's nice, this reminds me of that time, many girls had this style then. Compared to what we're living now, these seem almost like innocent and friendly times.

She is/was great. This is a MTV segment could be a couple of TikTok videos! I miss Blockbusters too, but driving and renting a movie for $5 and trying to return it on time is objectively so much worse than paying $14 a month for endless Movies and TV shows on demand, so what I really miss is the memories of being young, and going there with my mom or arguing over what to rent with my first gf. Whenever you were young and the world was new, the nostalgia makes that world and time seem like the best possible one. People who grew up in the 60's and 70's probably saw this when it came out and thought watching a star go to a Blockbuster on MTV was horrible and trite compared to the things they remember doing when they were young.

Yes the 90s and 2000s we're so much brighter. Is it just me or does it seem like then it was all sunshine and happiness and being bubbly and having fun. No days it's so dark. The music even the rap is all emotional and dark. The movies that come out are all horror movies or psychological thrillers. They really don't make happy upbeat raunchy comedies any more. It's either some reality bullshit or drama or horror. We get an ok rom com maybe twice a year now. People only want to be home alone or they want to argue with everyone because they can hide behind a screen. It's like the 90s and 2000s was a bright sunny warm day but after about 2015 it's like a dark cloud came over the world and just gets darker and darker each year. Really fucks me up because that's one thing there is no solution to. Time travel technology hasn't been released to us so we have to live in this darkness.

Britney was Gen X. She was born just before 1978. Also, the first few years of the 2000s was still very much 90s culture, as it is with the first few years of any decade in relation to the previous preceding one. That's why videos like these are so fascinating. They look so modern, but look again, no smart phones, no phone in her back pocket, and tons of VHS tapes.

I had a chance to visit The last Blockbuster on earth. It is still around as well. Actually saw it on accident in Bend, Oregon not realizing it was the last one till I walked inside. They had shirts and other memorabilia. It's still around last I heard and yes you can still rent and everything.
She is adorable 🥰
This chick seemed so cool. It’s incredibly rare to find someone so in the present and vibrant like this nowadays. I’m 23. I often wish I was in my 20’s back then. Times seemed so much more simple, people seemed happier and more connected to each other. What a character this girl is

Do you believe the pneumonia story? I tend to agree with her father, someone or a couple people, were poisoning her. She deserved so much better.

She seemed like a genuine, good hearted person, you were lucky to have befriended her / spent time together. I got the impression Ashton was a real true love for her & we see how things ended there but who knows. Simon seemed like she was with him out of love but not in the way she loved Kutcher. Like he was a safe place for her yet to the rest of some of us looking in, he was anything but. After she passed away, I remember getting ready for work one morning & I had the tv on in the bedroom. E channel was on & they were showing Simon giving a tour of the bathroom where Brittany passed away. And then he made it a point, a few times, to tell everyone how he paid for all of her makeup & had the camera pan all over the bathroom counters to show how much he bought. I couldn’t believe it. It was a disgusting display of all about himself, how could he give a tour like that? Her death wasn’t entertainment. Mourn your wife, get off camera. Awful Anyway…just very sad.

Observing her rambunctious and playful nature and the learning of her passing made me feel like I lost a friend. I know that sounds fake but it's the best way I can describe how I felt at the time. Seeing this is like opening old wounds that I have no right to have.

When i got out of high school cell phones started to gave internet just a few years later. 3G! We were carrying them from the start after graduation. Netflix killed blockbuster at this time. I remember when we stopped going into blockbuster and got all our DVDs mailed to the house. First movie i watched on dvd. Mission impossible 2. Blockbuster turned into hollywood video here in texas. Then that faded away. Brittany was cut short. She didnt get to see TODAY!
