     @Paultron Soooo many zoomers/millennials would kill for Peter's life in Office Space. At least he had his own apartment and a (admittedly kinda mid) gf

     @DW2 Extremely true. Gen X also loves their south park/simpsons references.

     Any time it comes up you get "we've always been rebels, y'know, genX isn't comformist"

     Sometimes with fun bonuses like ..."that's why we loved PUNK ROCK like nirvana, smashing pumpkins, rage against the machine, green day*"

     @DW2 As a millennial we're basically boomers for the 3rd generation, in case nobody's noticed. Early boomers and those elder Gen X people are the first boomers, but many of us are in the same boat:

     Millennials were born into the tail end of the good years, the prosperity years. We'll hear future kids yell at us that we'd never understand because we got to date and go out in public without protective escorts of nigger-curfews. They'll say WE were the last ones to plunder the golden age - and despite how it'll feel to us, they'll largely be right. If you were paying attention, you got to see just a bit of that old world right before it disappeared for good. You got to see what life was like when everyone had to leave a message on their friend's home answering machine and record their favorite show on VCR.

     Kids from here on out won't even get THAT. They'll go from birth in the post-zogslop AI hellscape, never knowing the peace of a life utterly absent of notifications

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @DW2 As a member of that cohort I couldn't agree more. I recently told a childhood friend who I am basically done with that his life-long "edgy" beliefs are indistinguishable from those of the HR department at the Fortune 500 company where he grinds away at slave labor wages because he won't "conform." What a rebel!

     @KarlDahl @DW2 A classic:

     Such a great litmus test to say "Is this something that the chairman of the board at McDonald's would believe"

     @Paultron @DW2 It's fucking insane how this fucking mindworm shit actually got into my head as a teenager.
     
     "Woah man having a stable job that can buy you a house sucks bro, working a job and not being a famous rockstar means your life is meaningless"
     
     Fuck all those office space Gen X movies that sold off being able to buy a house as being "A zombie cubicle slave" they don't even let Whites get into that work anymore
     
     Fuck I get so mad I was brainwashed into that shit, I could have jump started my life by half a decade if I had Andrew Tate shit being broadcast to me as a teen

     @D-Droid @Paultron @DW2 While I remember genx faggots who bring up that kevin spacy movie about how horrible suburbia is unless you do drugs and have homorrhea sex is disgusting too.

     @KarlDahl @WashedOutGundamPilot @DW2 yup, the system really optimized selling rebellion to gen X.
