I use an Apple trackpad with two-finger scrolling for 70% of my web browsing. I have yet to encounter one of these scrolling sites that didn't feel extremely awkward on it. Maybe the target audience is iPad users? I feel like the behavior might make sense on a tablet.
On iPad. Was not good. Edit: just rechecked. Nothing scrolls, it's all 'click to continue'.
We can argue all day about the use of scroll for navigation, but that would be sad because this is seriously cool.
I'm not sure which part of it was coolest -- the confusing navigation, the poor use of relatively low-res images for a responsive background (they look terrible on a browser-maximized 2560x1440 display), the default-on sound that many pages had (I realize this is about sound, but no webpage should play sound without user interaction [other than just scrolling to the page]), or the fact that it hung/crashed my Chrome…

That was sarcasm. That site blows, for reasons better outlined by other comments in this topic than my single complaint. I got a couple of clicks in and lost interest.

What's unusable about it? Scroll down or click the arrows.
It doesn't work correctly more than half of the time in Firefox and IE 11 (scrolling, clicking, cursor keys). There is also a transparent red area layering above half of the screen (maybe it's intended and fits the "Beats" headphone, the last picture?). The "1990s" are missing too, with the Sony disc man (portable audio CD player), its ear plugs and the later MP3 CD player.
I don't get any indication that I can even scroll though (nor does attempting to pan down do anything).
This is completely unreadable.
Really interesting & the fact they call Beats by Dre a "fashion accessory" is a subtle middle finger :)
Meanwhile, I'll stick with my DT770 Pros. As unfashionable as they may be, sound trumps fashion (which can also be said for any headphones from Grado).
As I scroll through them, the audio from the first section keeps playing until it's done... so if I scroll down to the 2010's its like it's playing 5 layers of audio and I can't even tell what's going on.
Cool presentation.
