    I think that sub is mostly millennials.

    I remember how much older gens shit on us when we were growing up and, seeing millennials do the same to the next generation is depressing in a "the cycle of abuse endures" kind of way.

      Pretty sad. We grew up in the shadow of our boomer parents that ended up hating on us and now we're doing the same to our kids, younger generation. So like you said it's just the system continuing.

      It wasn't even that long ago. Hell, I'm pretty sure I still see articles that shit on millenials. Its amazing how no one ever fucking learns.

        you have to wonder if anyone even wants to learn.

      I don't like that mustaches have come back and having the worst ever mullet being a thing sucks but fashion is where it ends for me. Kids look like the worst part of the 80s that was emulated by early 2000s hipsters as the 20 year fashion cycle recycles what we recycled and seems to be choosing only the stuff millennials didn't like. Which makes sense, but relaxed fit jeans and Alan Jackson mullets with intentional teenage mustaches is a bad look. Otherwise there is practically no difference between the 'generations'

        i'm personally just more fascinated by the current fashion cycle. also how elements of late 90s/early 00s nu-metal alt-fashion have also returned. i keep seeing zoomers that look like how we dressed in 1998 while listening to slipknot. only difference is the nose rings and more professional hair dye jobs (we had eyebrow rings and far shittier quality dyes)
