        Which was STILL better than the beanie babies of 1930, which were childhood illnesses and bankruptcies.

    The more I think about the late 90s and mid 00s, the less I want to go back to it. What I want is to not know things, not know how horrible things are, because I know things in the 90s and 00s were horrid too, I was just too young to notice.

    I’m sure there are some people out there that have nostalgia for 2012 because that’s when they were a child. I remember the massive push for Ron Paul 2012 and how insufferable everyone was.

      That’s nostalgia for you. When we were kids, our parents had fond memories of their early days. In 30 years, kids today will pine for these times. It’s how that works. It’s not universal, but more for most people, they remember fondly the time they were younger, healthier, had less responsibility and their whole lives ahead of them.

      I mean yeah normally I’d agree with you but progress was still going in kind of the right direction, albiet slowly then.

      We’ve spent some years backsliding now, and honestly I do miss the part where things felt like they where getting better, not worse.

      • RedFrank24@piefed.social ⁨36⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        Was it? Because I remember how things were in 2012, and that’s not how I remember it. Anita Sarkeesian started her Kickstarter in May of 2012, and thus Gamergate was unofficially born, and 2 years later it was officially born, followed by Brexit, followed by Trump. Technically Anita’s stuff wasn’t what kicked off Gamergate, but the backlash against her primed an audience ready to pounce when Gamergate actually started and took half the internet on the road to fascism.

        2012 is the year everything started going downhill. While yes, some social progress was made, it was in 2012 that the seeds of today’s problems were planted, at least on the internet anyway. One could argue that 9/11 and the Patriot Act and massive expansion of executive power contributed heavily as well.

        Either way, shit was bad in 2012 as well, we were all just too blind to see it. The only people who actually did see it were pariahs on the internet for years and weren’t listened to because they were ‘SJW’s.

      I won’t lie, I was a teenager from a privileged background in 2012 and the only thing that I was scared of was the Mayan calendar.

      Boomer is a specific generation.

      What we’re seeing here is the first generation to go from childhood to elders with internet access/fluency all the way.

      source
      • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It is more of a way of thinking than a generation. The phrase “ok boomer” doesn’t refer to just boomers

        Try track 4 — “Coffin Fodder”. It sounds horrible but it’s actually quite beautiful.

    Looking at this pic makes me conclude I made the right fashion choices (or lack thereof) along the way. Jeans and T-Shirt all the way, even during my black metal phase.

    Although during that time I did dye my hair black No. 1. Which is kinda funny, as someone claimed back then that I looked like a younger Pete Steele (Of Type O Negative fame, who’s most famous song is Black No. 1, in case you didn’t know).

    So what am I wearing now? Yeah, you guessed wrong. My jeans are in the washer, so I’m currently sporting t-shirt and half a track suit. My hair is getting pretty long again, but dying it is just too much hazzle.
