Commercial Break

I’ve always had a weird obsession with commercials and ads. They can be a snapshot of a certain era. People look back on commercials and feel nostalgic for either the product or the commercial itself and it takes you back to that time and place. Growing up in the 90’s, most kids would record their favorite shows from TV, those kids grew up and archived those commercials on YouTube. But what about kids growing up today? No one is recording live TV on physical media anymore. Sure there’s DVRs, but people (myself included) would just watch the recorded show and eventually delete it to make more room. I realized no one was saving this stuff, so I wanted to start archiving commercials again for future generations to look back on.
