I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.
I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display ("Local company donated to local sports association", Photo).
2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.
Never owned an encyclopedia.
Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email
I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.
Edit: So looked it up and apparently CDs had been around for ages, but my parents bought me stuff on cassettes instead. Maybe it was second hand.
Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

I'm old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local "mom&pop" stores.
Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out
1 point, number 4.
But I know I am gonna get a other point soon.
I already know that my gf gifts me a acdc Back in Black Vinyl.
Null pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.

The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.
Presuming we're counting that, big fat goose egg.
- Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
- If you count me messing with stuff as using it then 9. But they didn't work unfortunately. Born 2005

One point for the typewriter.
