Seriously Gen X was built to last. If you survived ya childhood, you are a magical being. Remember how swings didn't used to have shit underneath them but concrete? If you fell off, you would just have nasty scrapped knees.

Generational theory is an essential part of fascism because they can't admit they're bourgeois class traitors who want the poor to die.

      And that's barely even scratching the surface about how fucking weird bougie children's sports are. My parents kitted me out in a bunch of expensive hockey gear when I was five years old, and I didn't give a shit about any of it. I sat over by the other team's goalie and we talked about cool looking marbles, while I dug a hole in the ice with my skates. I got a trophy for that. It was dumb as hell.

      As an older kid? Give us some sticks and we'll organize some sort of bootleg field hockey every time. Give us a big ball? Either kind of football is fair game, along with maybe a kickball diamond we dig into the grass with our heels.
