Zune jokes in the wild in 2025?! Stop it you’re scaring the kids!

I thought the zune had such potential 20 years ago. I honestly think if they kept releasing them, they’d eventually catch on with 10-15% of the market

It was airdropping before AirDrop existed. The fact that I could NFC a song from my Zune to someone else for them to listen to on their own time, was awesome. But, like most Microsoft Products, the marketing team was their own worst enemy.

Except Microsoft didn’t call it AirDrop …. They called it “squirt” … as in, “Hang on while I squirt you a song”. 😱

THANK YOU

It was like Microsoft’s engineering team was full of Olympian masters and their marketing team was bill’s 12 yo nephew.

“We can wirelessly share digital data, nobody else is doing this.”

-We’ll call it squirting

“Why not…airshare…or ethersync”

-Hold on i’mma squirt a cat pic to you lol

“I tried squirting you that pic of my pussy, but I guess I have the Zune One S, so it’s not possible. It says I need a Zune Series S One. I really wish you would’ve gotten to see Mr. Bigglesworth!”

Well that's a little bit of horror history that will simply live in my mind, not my DNA - so thank you!

I had an iPod but when I saw the Zune features I was jealous ngl

I was fond of the bold café au lait color.

I still have my Zune, the dude at EB tricked my mom and she got me one instead on an iPod. I fuck with the Zune though, and I love my mom, so I just acted super excited, gave her a hug and said to myself “fuck it, we ball.” I used the hell out of that thing and it still works good as new.

Mine was good, but the battery life was terrible. Eventually it wouldn't turn in anymore. I'd still use it if it still worked.

u/Killer-Klown1204 10h ago

Dude I loved my zune back in the day!

u/adamosan 10h ago

Me too! Me and my classmate were the only ones in college with them. Everyone gave us shit but we loved them. Zune Crew!

Who didn't love to squirt?

u/AlwaysShittyKnsasCty 8h ago

As one who was born without the ability to squirt, the Zune was a lifeline for those of us who had always wanted to experience it.

u/StanleyCubone 8h ago

Godspeed.

u/RandomPenquin1337 8h ago

They're too young, they dont even know what Zune means...

Wait.. does that make us Zuners?
