I like the kids these days. They're cooler than we were. We used to play with Tonka trucks and lovely KB Toys toys. Now they just play videogames, which I can relate to. They weren't around when Eminem dropped the Marshal Mathers LP but they know all the songs and get all the references cuz they use the internet to figure it out. And they start blazing it human being when they're 13.

I like the EDM music and mollies.

Millenials AKA "I wasn't smart enough to take advantage of the millions of dollars of available scholarship money or non-lazy enough to work my way through school so I graduated thousands of dollars in debt and then couldn't get a job because I'm a special loving snowflake and got a degree in butterfly farts instead of something useful like engineering or finance so now i'm a leech lurking in my parent's basement whining about the economy instead of lamenting my bad loving life decisions"

You needed to use the phrase "entitled little gently caress" somewhere in there in order to be truly accurate.

Or the uh....


Millenials AKA "I was just smart enough to put legos together or lazy enough to go with the technological flow, so I graduated thousands of dollars in debt and then got the first job I could find because everything is competitive as gently caress and got a degree in analyzing butterfly farts instead of something socially productive like teaching, doctoring, or accounting, so now I'm lonely in apartment trying t bloat up my ego about how much money I have in spite of being when I'm being undervalued and will probably be replaced by a robot or somebody younger when I'm unemployed at 35."

It's kind of neat seeing that graph. I apparently graduated right when it spiked. Luckily I was smart enough to go to college in my home town and had parents that let me still live at home as long as I was in school. Yay for graduating with 0 debt. gently caress you Millenials.

Baby boomers hosed up the world, Generation X created bitcoin in response, and millenials embraced bitcoin like a bunch of mouth breathers.

The lesson is that all of the generations are horrible in their own way but baby boomers are the worst

So what you get in mid/late 90s culture isn't just "I'm a slacker." There's also this missing sense of purpose -- a sort of "the world was going to fire me in one direction then changed its mind, so my big problem now is figuring out how I decide what to do." I mean, that's the Gen X existential crisis in a nutshell. In an end-of-the-Cold-War context that makes a lot of sense, but is maybe a hard thing to intuit if you didn't grow up with G.I. Joe and movies where fat kids are walking punchlines.
Combined with being told explicitly that they would be the first generation in America to have worse lives than their parents...

The boomers drank all they could then poisoned the well.

Hot Pockets have actually been around since the early 80's.

My favourite flavour back then was Corduroy.
