40 / null / Earth
In the end of this, we will watch you crawl
I’m 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don’t become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.
I like '90s music (it’s my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things “back in their day” are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.
I’d also love to get some examples, seeing as it’s apparently such a scourge. I know that it sometimes happens but I’m struggling to think of enough examples for it to actually be this big issue like these people try and make it out to be.
Personally, I think that people who cry about the “historical accuracy” of an Ancient Greek myth, and the casting of a demi-god that hatched from an egg, need to fuck off.
I’m in a socially conservative country, in a smallish town populated by elderly retirees, families and dirt poor marginally educated people. In the days before people were scrolling conspiracy theories about George Soros and litter boxes for cat identifying kids in librul schools on Facebook and Twitter, I wouldn’t been a more open person. Now, they’ll only get to know my public deaf-mute alter ego and never know that I’m a vigilante lol.
I wish I was in a city where there’s a bigger chance of meeting others like you.
Definitely a big let down.
I would say it’s a subjective thing. Looking back at friendships that I had along the way, “deep and meaningful” conversations happen when you’ve sparked with each other enough to let the walls down and just talk about life, the universe without worrying that you sound like you’re high or whatever.
So I don’t think it’s something that can be forced either. It just happens when you meet someone on the same wavelength as you. Easier to come across in real life than social media because no one really talks one on one on social media. Or it’s rare. Reddit style platforms are generally good for the ‘deep’ part but not the connection part.
First thing I thought of was Bert and Ernie.
