Looking back, CDs were stupid expensive in the 90's

We were talking about how a CD could be 15-20 bucks in the mid to late '90s. With inflation that's 30-40 bucks in today's dollars.
We were wild back then. Thank god for Columbia houses 20 CD's for 1 penny

Everything sold in malls in the late 90s and early 2000s was pricey.
A nice blazer at Dillard’s was cheaper in 2019 than in 2006
Boxers, shoes, sweaters, all cheaper now or identical, without factoring in even normal pre-2021 inflation.
But CDs are the most extreme. And that money wasn’t really going to the musicians. Just imagine how much record company execs were making back then.

Th first cd I bought was The Wall in the early/mid 90's. It was a double album. I think it cost $30. I said to save my chore money for a bit

Yeah, I have a feeling they knew the end was coming and did as much to extract money from suckers until the bitter end.
I have zero sympathy for the record labels and almost none for the artists. If music wasn't so overpriced, "piracy" wouldn't have been so attractive.

Bet the music industry regrets that now.

By the time you get it open, the music is on the classic rock station.

At least we had $14 to spend. Now with Bidenflation, the dollar doesn’t buy shite.

They actually used to do double albums as double cd's and charge and arm and a leg. I understand the need for a double album on vinyl but never understood why they couldn't get that much digital content on one cd. Pretty sure they just did it to rip us off. I guess the argument was hey these cd's are permanent unlike vinyl that gets scratched and deteriorates. That was before we all realized that new technology was always just around the corner.

I’d buy any album that wasn’t edited for explicit content at Walmart for roughly $12.99.
I only paid mall prices for cd’s with the warning labels.

They were expensive and I remember CD Warehouses selling used ones during the late '90s.

What about DVDs when they first came out? A brand new one today costs about $20.

I really miss walking into an electronics store and seeing rows and rows of CDs. I still rather buy CDs than download music
