you have to find the perfect balance of hating most things, especially memes, then latch on to some memes and get really ardent about defending the stuff you like but that stuff cant be popular because you think popular things suck and you have to do all this while pretending your dead gay forum is somehow the last bastion of sanity and decency on the internet even though its just as full of pedos and basement dwellers as the rest of the internet

You do not "become" a goon.
Goons are born goons, although it may take years, decades, for the goonism to arise from its dormancy and surface. Like a dam holding back a river, the mind tries to protect itself from the goongene but sooner or later it is overwhelmed.
When a goons protective barrier finally breaks, the results are often catastrophic. (i.e. spending 10 bucks on an account)

You know what, I'm going to say it: With a handful of exceptions the 90s mostly sucked loving balls.

I don't know many people who can truly hate the iconic parts of the 60s. I liked the 70s OK. The 80s were rad on a few levels. The 2000s had some memorable stuff and honestly a lot holds up. The 90s was mostly a blur of gaudy colors and lukewarm hip hop. Again, a few exceptions here and there, but I think the 90s is one of the least interesting decades.. it lacked personality and the personality it had wasn't very good.

To be honest a lot of people go "80s nostalgia" is fully responsible for the 80s trend, except I've noticed a lot of people that are too young to have any nostalgia for it seem to even appreciate it more. Same with all the decades before it. We have lots of period movies but I honestly think very few things will bother to set themselves in the 90s in the future; like the only exception coming to mind is Better Call Saul and that seems to downplay the era.

Be spergin' enough that you can grow a neckbeard without too much trouble.

Be self aware enough that you shave off the neckbeard and still get laid once in awhile.

That's at least the goon/life balance I've found. hth :)
