I felt like these song as rings tones went well with the optimism around technology at that time which I feel has just been crushed by internet giants and the rise of surveillance capitalism and social media.
There was something great about early phone based digital photography and it being offline, so convenient yet completely "yours" (for example).
Definitely don't feel as if it's all bad, but that optimism doesn't exist anymore in my opinion.
A sample of bad ringtone (auto-tuned baby crying) which was trending back then (2007-2008) was [1]. Thankfully I never used it.
