I turned eighteen in the year 2000 and yes, we were aware that burning gas sucked and that capitalism was a shitty idea, at least in this variety and that we, white kids in Western Europe had privileges. The nineties were the decade in which the Nazi grandchildren turned up in our streets and burn refugee homes. So nationalism was also visible again. At the same time, yeah, hedonism was awesome. Raves, electronic music, computers and action movies coming into full bloom. At least the western countries could party for a moment. But the bill was already pretty high. It was just that no one had written the check yet. That undeniably happened in the last 10 years. Which sucks. Definitely. And at the same time, it was about time. And I see my kids today and they have their things, culture, music, mannerisms, widgets and references and it’s fun. Yes the world sucks more urgent and I really did like to eat snow and there is none now. But life goes on and those kids from today will build their own stories and we millennials are the old guys in those story. Until the circle of life beats their ass when it’s their turn to turn 40.
