Yep I had a super fun time in my youth just being out and about, nothing in particular to do, and then in a somewhat more organized manner at teen dance clubs or club nights and rave parties. I think they were way more popular in Europe (The Shamen) after Boss Drum I didn’t really hear much from them here again, but I really enjoyed Axis Mutatis too. They had some rad early web sites as well
I dunno haha, I agree I feel real bad about how kids today have it
You’re definitely not alone. My first teacher who pronounced “oiler” correctly did so a lot and every time in my head I had to deliberately pin the sound to Euler because I had heard the name mispronounced consistently for years.
Eu is an old and common long diphthong prefixing Greek roots to mean “good-{whatever}” with lots of cognates in other languages pronounced with a long u sound. That Euler should be the rare exception is fitting, but most who read the name first will mispronounce it as a result.

It means you learned it from reading and that’s fine!
No judgent against those who don’t know pronunciations yet. It’s fine. Except for not knowing how to say detritus. That’s garbage.
And then to make things more confusing there’s Euclid :3

Markiplier fans
transfems = mathematicians in many cases anyways
Finally the representation we’ve been waiting for!
And electrical engineers.
