From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sound
The shrieking chorus of "MMMBop" is practically glued to the radio lately, drowning out the frantic, high-pitched beeps of the Tamagotchi clipped to my baggy cargo pants. I’m frantically mashing the buttons because if this digital alien dies while I'm standing in line for *Con Air* tickets, I’m seriously going to lose it. My older brother is totally trippin' about some headline regarding Hong Kong, but I can barely hear his ranting over the roar of passing traffic and the hiss of my Walkman. Honestly, as long as the batteries in my tech don't quit, the rest of the world can basically stay on mute.
