Related hot take that’s like the opposite of yours . Generation vs generation discourse is dumb, there’s just too many different people that are part of a single generation to lump everyone together. It’s inevitable though , it’s been around since the beginning of humanity and will be there at the end.

True but there can be important stuff from previous generations that gets lost

For example gen x and older millennials strongly believed in "Don't sell out", while younger millennials and half of gen z love becoming a brand at 15 at being an influencer and being brand-friendly

So its understandable if a guy who scoffs at being told what he cant say by some corpo entity finds some gen z unbearable, or things like saying "pr0n"

Yeah, I do think the past is extremely important, listening to those who came before. It’s when it becomes a competition I have a problem.

If it's just use as a way to pick fights I agree

Once you’re a frail old geezer like most of us here, you’ll come to understand the fickle mistress that is caffeine. Enjoy not having to rely on it!

I feel personally attacked by this one LOL

Dude, Gen-X loved/loves selling out. Look at Silicon Valley. Look at Wall Street. And standards for public language have always existed, and were far, far more strict the further back in time you go.

Nah, people in tech sold out but it's nothing like today where everyone wants to be a brand as soon as they can have a phone and a social media account and thinks about how everything they do may be content

And that's not true in the 90s and 00s you could say whatever you wanted especially on the web, it's now that everyone fears demonitazation

Dude, I was there. Yes, some forums and hosts didn’t have many rules, but plenty actually did, and there’s still places with few rules now, and they’re hellholes for that reason. As far as saying what you wanted in public, no, dude. The Simpsons was considered vulgar in its day and there was mad controversy.

Also, do you really think your generation invented self-obsession or wanting to be famous?

If anything it adapted with technology; before the internet, people just made up whatever they wanted, *especially* about martial arts or military history. Everyone went into the first UFC expecting to see a shaolin monk levitate off the mat.

(I do have a nostalgia for the old Count Dante ads, teaching kids to kill their bullies in the back of comic books though.)

I had to change half my words since 2012 I dont even need to go as far back as 2004 lol

The simpsons were considered vulgar by boomers, gen X and early millennials loved it and made it famous, the more anti-pc something was the better. Now even shows that pride themselves on being vulgar like Hazbin Hotel cant even muster "the hard r". So much of gen z and millennials I saw online were like "I cant understate how much this thing damaged our culture" "I cant watch old stuff its so problematic.." "its time we retire this"
Some gen z is less moralistic though, I think millennials are worse

I dont think gen z invented being self absorbed but they're way way worse because of growing up with social media (im not gen z)

That's where I think their thinking the world revolves around them comes from

If you had to change half your words that says more about your vocabulary than anything else. As far as the rest, sorry for mis-genning you.

the hard r

There is nothing vulgar about hate speech, though?

Sometimes sensor ship is good tbh, without it we’d still have so many terribly hateful things that would still be normalized

We still have many hateful things with censorship as well.

not denying that but it could be worse. Like even that censorship (idk why I spelled it so weird the first time) is used as an excuse to erase history
