Isn't the "Illustrated for zoomers" version of the frequency domain wrong? I'm pretty sure the bars over the timeline show volume over time, not intensity over frequency. So the middle bar doesn't represent a specific frequency but a specific time interval in the song.

I dunno, but as a almost-boomer (57 years old) I felt seen by the "Illustrated for boomers" pic. I had almost exactly that display in the headunit/cd player I installed in my '72 VW Beetle back in the early 90s...

Same experience here, I owned this exact piece of equipment as a teen (I'm ~50).

Aside: I know "boomer" is just slang for "not young", but I can't help but think that only the most tech-savvy Baby Boomer would identify with that EQ; Gen-X would be more applicable.
