LifeSunDeath posted:jfc shut the gently caress up. I'm CPR certified and have been for many years, if put in a situation where I had perform actual CPR I have little doubt I'd gently caress it up...also the success rate for manual compression is very low, AED's are the biggest factory in saving someone who's gone into cardiac arrest...but saying something like you said to someone who was in an emergency and did the right thing...you're just a bastard. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the guy who tried to put

I'm Gen X as gently caress and find it a little weird that outside of starting to see ads and other marketing clearly aimed at my generation that Gen X is kind of generally ignored. We were like a placeholder generation or something.

mind the walrus posted:Starting? You guys had a loving huge footprint in the 80s and 90s and to this day a huge chunk of the nostalgia market is squarely based on poo poo you guys valued. Do you really think Millennials grew up with Ghostbusters, G1 Transformers, or goddamn She-Ra? Do you think DOOM coming back now was a coincidence? What the gently caress did you think Grunge and Alt.Rock were? Ready Player One is entirely based on Gen-X backwash. Did you grow up very far outside the US or are you somehow even more boring than all the poo poo I just described? There's a lot of ~early millennials~ that grew up with those things because boomers were making GBS threads out the nuclear family child requirements at the cyclic rate again. I mean, it's already been said that generational delineation is dumb, but there's another example to throw on the pile.

Gen X'ers in their 50s tend to be boomer as gently caress in my experience.  Is it generational or just age? I have no fuckin' idea.

I was talking mostly about hearing lovely 80s music piped into grocery stores instead of lovely 70s music, seeing unfortunate callbacks to 80s styles in kids' clothing, and poo poo like that. The aforementioned media properties I see more as the creative bankruptcy of Hollywood which makes them churn through remakes all the drat time. They have remade so many properties from the 60s, 70s, and 80s at this point that I think it's less generational and more executives thinking they can cash in on remaking The Avengers/The Thomas Crown Affair/Rollerball/The Brady Bunch/Scooby Doo/21 Jump Street/Miami Vice or whatever the gently caress they've decided to reboot.

I find as I inch closer to middle age, I have to catch myself before I start blurting out stupid poo poo about 'the younger generation." It sucks, but I'm gonna push through it. I know a lot of it is the way I was taught by my father, so at least I know where the gently caress the crazy is coming from.

Being cranky because you're being beaten for needing food to live vs being cranky because the children you're beating for needing food to live aren't going 'Thank you sir, may I have another?'

The difference is the media kids consume today really is inferior to the media I consumed as a kid, whereas old people are just cranky.

Kenning posted:To be fair all the Gen X 80s media nostalgia sucks poo poo. 80's stuff can be late Gen-X/early Millennial. The real Gen-X poo poo is 70's, baby. Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of the Apes sequels. Like how Reality Bites tried to capitalize on fake Gen-X nostalgia in loving 1994 of all times. It's like a marketer saw that it had been 15 whole loving years since My Sharona and figured people were ready for a rehash. And ironically....they were. you broke my grill posted:The difference is the media kids consume today really is inferior to the media I consumed as a kid, whereas old people are just cranky. The 1980's had horrible animation and everything was filmed on video tape which looks terrible and can't be upscaled like film. Oh, and the music was too heavy on synths. Kids have much better media today.

PathAsc posted:You'll take my keytar from my cold dead hands Some of it is good. Like who doesn't get grooving to Van Halen's 'Jump'. But then I watch Lethal Weapon and the jazzy synths they use for dramatic effect are just awful. All 1980's movie or TV background music is horrible. There are no exceptions.
