On Jan 2, 2008, a YouTube user named DrazenXLive uploaded a video of themselves playing Reptilia by The Strokes on Rock Band. It gained a few views, but was otherwise just a gaming video in the early age of YouTube.
Then picsmics4 started commenting. And never stopped.
For over 15 years, picsmics4 returned to this one video, leaving comments that evolved into an unintentional diary, from documenting high school whimsy, adulthood, hardships, and everything in between. The thread, the optimism of picsmics4, and the wholesome reception from the internet community has been selected to be preserved on this site.
I watched a video by ShaiiValle and was inspired to make this site overnight, in an era where much of our shared digital history is quietly disappearing. The world is currently a mess, but it is the small things like this that let us go on with our days.
This site preserves every comment from the video, and comments from before January 1, 2026 (at 6 minutes and 7 seconds) are frozen exactly as they were for authenticity. Newer comments are added periodically but the original archive remains untouched.
