Sweet Jesus, please do not bring this back. It was bad enough the first go-around.
(And I'm a huge ska/rocksteady/reggae fan)
Sorry, can't hear you, listening to Less Than Jake and Catch 22 simultaneously.
In the late 90s and 2000s our culture was still dominated by boomer bullshit. Like nostalgic for 80s nostalgia for the 60s. Fucking Oasis. James fucking Bond. An era when Americans thought Britain was cool should be thought of with extreme suspicion and disgust.
Swing dancing and big band music had a brief revival too
If I knew how to code, I would love to create my own chan clone. Personally, I like the idea of everyone being anon because there's a degree of egalitarianism in the site, no one can be the "bad opinion guy" and then be written off like Greta Thurnberg was.
There would be no internet celebrities like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, who got rewarded just for being the "socially acceptable opinion guy."
huh, it's almost as if our brains aren't prepared to deal with the constant deluge of information that gets pumped into them 24/7
Zoomers. It's like the millennials that latched on to the "only 90s kids will remember" nostalgia thing ten years ago even though they were born in 1997
The internet was better before social media :I-was-saying:
Zoomers aren't bringing the 90s back you fuckwits, millennials who are nostalgic for the nineties are getting into mid-tier positions of cultural output and replacing the older millennials/gen xers who were nostalgic for the 80s. It's a cycle that's been going since mass media became a thing.
Y2K trends of the '90s
See this is where it gets confusing, does the Zoomer generation begin in the late 90's or early 00's, because if it's the first then wouldn't it be treading on the Millenial generation?
Generations arent real, they're just abother way for the bourgeoisie to divide the working class and set it against itself
I think gen z is 1995-2010 or something like that, so nostalgia for the 90s is more of a millennial thing since most zoomers either barely remember it or didn't exist then
It's more a retro thing than actual nostalgia. 70's fashion was big when I (a millennial) was a teenager. These things go in cycles, which is why this article misleading
Makes sense. Hard to be nostalgic for an era in which you were still in diapers or in kindergarten. Most adults feel nostalgic for their teenage years and 20s, I think.
I think one of the points of this is that it's saying Zoomers of today are nostalgic for something before their childhood - because their childhoods were so awful due to economic problems and growing up with social media 24/7
That, or they've been wondering why we've been doing 80s nostalgia for the last 20+ goddamn years and want something different.
