There’s good comedy in recognizing how you feel about it isn’t unique in time and then following up with thinking this time it’s different.
Everyone thinks this time is different. The kids think they’re the first ones to really want change and the old folks thinks this new generation is really the bad one. The kids are rebelling against you and when you were a kid you weren’t paying enough attention to understand what was going on in the world.
If the world stayed the same and you thought the same way as you did when you were a kid and the next generation thought the same way as you do now, we’d still be living as animals.
- saghm 2y agoI find it incredibly amusing to see people in my generation complain about things like slang from the generation after us when it wasn't barely over a decade ago when I was having to answer to my uncle jokingly demanding to know why my generation was (according to an article he read) responsible for the demise of the can opener as a household applicance. In retrospect, maybe being out of touch with whatever people my age thought was cool as a kid was really good practice for me now that we're _all_ old and out of touch!
