I wasn't in chat rooms at the time, but this just reminded me of all those sites that popped up, Geocities or people's college accounts or whatever, that were just links to hundreds of mp3s, just total Wild West shit before companies understood what the internet even was
I think a lot of them had RealVideo or whatever files of South Park, too, Christ, South Park was brand-new
