I hate this country :lenin-rage: :rage-cry: :NOOOOO:
Not gonna lie, it really is fucking pathetic how many aging millenials on this site are stuck in the past. Like people have moved on from 90s Simpsons and early 2000s era ebaumsworld comedy, or whatever the fuck. We get it, you thought the dark knight was “sick” when it came out. Yeah you like the “old Kanye” and that “classic 50 cent and Eminem rap.” Yeah we get it, Sega Genesis or N64 was the “bEsT cOnSoLe EVER L33t!!!” Yes we know that “FINAL FANTASY 7 IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!” Oh and don’t forget: “I remember when it was called ‘The’ Facebook you dumb zoomers!”
If it weren’t for the leftist ideas they were exposed to, I 100% believe they would become reactionary chuds. In fact I suspect there is a slight reactionary element in them because they just can’t get with the times. They’ll push back and say “hurr durr why should I care about shitty zoomer shit” even though that’s literally exactly what their parents said to the stuff they cared about. That being said there are some that realize that they are getting out of touch and are going out of their way to let others claim their own future.
I will be on TikTok the moment people start posting 50+ minute long reviews and video essays about 20 year old video games there
It’d be neat if they had anything substantive to say about the games, but video game essays are mostly breathless hagiographies about how the game is good and you have good taste for liking it.

bad take people shouldn’t be shamed for prefering the pop culture that they watched as a kid. It’s harmless and could not matter less
also it’ll happen to you
also it’ll happen to you
Joke’s on you. I am a millennial. It’s my own generation that I see falling for this nostalgia bullshit. I made a post about a while back: https://hexbear.net/post/247679. TL;DR nostalgia brain is often the first step into reactionary/fascist tendencies from what I’ve observed (e.g. “things were better back in my day sonny boy!”)
Yeah I saw that post and disagreed with it then. For young people to have their cultural space we need to not inject ourselves into the content made for and by them.
I am less familiar with the cartoons and movies aimed at young people because I have less free time available to watch cartoons and movies now and that’s OK not everything needs to be for you. I’m more familiar with the music I grew up with than whatever now occupies the cultural niche the Jonas brothers used to fill and that’s fine because that’s just not music made for me as the target audience
I don’t think it’s the “enjoying things from when you were young” part that’s the problem, it’s the “and that’s why everything that the next generations like suck” part.
Yeah that is out of order. Part of getting older sensibly is realising that music for teenagers, is no longer for you and that star wars and superhero media being childrens movies if you as an adult see them and don’t like them it’s not a big deal.
Grown adults complaining about not liking the latest star wars films is like complaining that now your 30 you don’t find peppa pig as entertaining as you did when you were 3

just because they don’t like le doomless dance video scroll app? I’m not sure this is really reacting to something happening on this website.
I’m not sure this is really reacting to something happening on this website.
It is, I made a post about it before: https://hexbear.net/post/247679
that’s just a second post claiming “bro trust me it’s totally happening” but is mostly contentless. it’s hard to extract a coherent and principled message beyond “why old people not watch children’s cartoons like me”.
If it weren’t for the leftist ideas they were exposed to I 100% believe they would become reactionary chuds
if it weren’t for the thing that separates leftists from chuds, the leftists would be chuds! :thinking-about-it:
Yeah, insofar as nostalgia and those prone to a rose-tinted view of the past can lead to reactionary tendencies. See this post: https://hexbear.net/post/247679
:think-mark: if you weren’t nostalgic and didn’t read leftist theory you still wouldn’t be leftist lol.
but you’re mistaken to think nostalgia is blanket reactionary. some things were better in the past. my auntie waxing nostalgic about public transit infrastructure we don’t have anymore isn’t reactionary.
Actually I’ve never had or used tiktok, but I’m not gonna shit on zoomers for enjoying it, unlike a lot of people on this site.
I actually think things overall are getting shittier, but I also notice a tendency of people to not deal with the present and retreat into the comfort of their childhoods. That’s mainly what I’m against. People who don’t wanna deal with reality and retreat into nostalgia.
