there are adults now who regard minecraft (especially its soundtrack if youtube is anything to go by) as a cherished, nostalgic childhood memory the same way i think of tony hawk's underground
there are kids who were born after minecraft, who will spend their whole youth in a culture suffused with the background radiation of its influence, and who will grow up regarding it as some kind of cultural eigenvalue
i was thinking earlier about how hard it is for me to imagine that starbucks will ever go away, likely just because it's been around since a few decades before i was born - a long time from my perspective, but not particularly long at all in terms of human culture. then i thought about the concept of minecraft nostalgia and i realized that time is a spiral
