Boomer: "Can you imagine kids today storming the beaches of Normany?"
Me: "You were a US child of the 70's, idiot. When the hell were you ever in a war? I was blasting Russians in Ukraine. You can shut the hell up!"
Friend: "So you know at the start of the Twisted Sister music video, where the dad says 'I carried an M16 in 'nam and you carry that guitar'? Sure hurts when they shoe's on the other foot eh boomers?"
OH
MY
GOD
Even though the situation in Europe is far less insane, my grandparents just-
My grandmother never worked fulltime a day in her life. She had no education past high school, she just walked up to a place, asked for a job and got it.
My grandfather finished his college degree when he was like 30, and then worked in a completely different industry where his education barely helped him.
They bought a house for dirt cheap, and have lived in it for over 40 years.
Meanwhile my parents both have high positions within companies, and they make (from what i can guess) between 3 and 4 times as much as my grandparents ever did.
Here's the kicker. My grandparents live 2 streets away from my parents. Their house has like septoupled in value and it is truly a testiment to how different the world was in the 70's than it is today.
As for me? I can't afford to move out before my college degree in aerodynamics is completed.
I just want to be able to quietly work on a computer tap tapping away with my cat sitting with me, is that really such a hard thing to come by? It is. Degree this, experience that. I get it, I do. Of course you'd want people who meet certain criteria, that makes perfect sense. If wishes were fishes and all that.
Anybody else creeped out when friends of their parents (50+ yr olds) come up out of the blue and say “Man, if I was 20 yrs younger” or something along those lines, as if it’s a compliment? Like you, a middle aged/old man, just came up to a 22 yr old in front of her mother and essentially said you were sexually attracted to them. In public. Yet my Mom’s standing there like it’s just a cute folksy thing to say.
Not your boomer family getting mad at you for messing up your medication's concentration and hurting yourself ONCE as if they didn't drink margaritas for pregnancy pain and smoked cigarettes against asthma.
a hard take on today's music (especially pop and tiktok songs)
looks are more important today. they all sound the same. music doesn't mean anything anymore. yesterday: hit, tomorrow: forgotten. short shallow songs. same old shit spit out and shitted out by consuming too much milk. boring, always the same, sometimes even plagiarized. bring back the value, bring back mtv times, bring back the time when we waited in front of the radio for our favorite song from our favorite artist. bring back music and forget the trash like it was supposed to be, quote: the labels.
I'm not saying that everyone out there is making bad music but most people don't stand out or just copy.
This.
I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
Elders be talking to me about how their generation was the best like stfu u literally invented racism
