Cancel culture? participation trophies? short attention spans? lack of sarcasm? influencers? Or the death of the mall?
What's yours?
Punk Rock.
Now that I see it for the Psy op that it was.
Especially these guys?
view on youtu.beNope. Don't think so.
Johnny Rotten tried calling out Jimmy Savile the pedo-industrial complex within British entertainment.
And he's MAGA now.
Gotta love those photos! Still keeps the hair.
Rotten and vicious
Please explain- like Bad Religion and The Misfits are a psy op? or whatever green day is doing now
My hypothesis is that Bad Religion is definitely a Psy Op. An extension of the Laurel Canyon Scene operation from the 60's and 70's with a bit of Mockingbird and MK Ultra thrown into the mix. Controlled opposition and controlled messaging.
I haven't looked into it much, but I'd be curious to know the background of the band's original members fathers.
Kinda like Jim Morrison's father was the Admiral in charge of the Tonkin Gulf Affair.
But beyond that, their lyrics are just socio-gnostic cult (i.e. Marxist) grooming limericks.
Why do these "anti-establishment" chaos agents emerge from such middle-class, suburban people?
Maybe they've been telling us all along. This is from the original script for the movie "Conspiracy Theory":
What's the tea on this?
No tea. Just a hunch.
They're all a bunch of commies who profess hatred for the country who's freedom allowed their - supposed - artistic brilliance to flourish organically.
I'm not buying it anymore.
Sounds like Libertarians...
What is a Gen Xer? Am I old yet?
The Offspring
I suppose that is a yes. I older I get, the less I feel hate. I don't hate anything or anyone. There is a lot I want to see change in the world but hating it doesn't do anything for me or the change.
Oh I just sperged out an answer.
I'm a millenial myself and listened to em since my teens, but for some reason, I've always associated GenX to The Offspring.
Something about the energy and themes in their music was very much GenX energy to me. Like it didn't quite come out of my own generation, but was rebelling against aspects and culture of my parents' (boomer) generation.
I didn't do a deep dive or anything recently so not sure how accurate my impression was
I was assuming you were referencing this comment I left just 16 hours ago regarding favorite music memory.

Did you not even see this? That's too crazy if so.
I had in fact not even seen that haha
edit: added my own Offspring origin story to that thread
💪
We are in a simulation🤯
If you have to ask, you're a boomer 🤣🤣🫡
1965 to 80
Apparently I am a millennial then? Wierd..
I am among the oldest Gen Xers (1965). I hate nothing, but hate.
The attention spans kill me, tho!
You're boomer territory 🤣🤣🫡
On the Cusp, baby!
@grayruby specifically hates participation trophies.
Does this mean he is old?
If I revived AskSN I would’ve got 10% of the sats from this post!
21% of fee.
Oof
Catcher in the Rye
Hollywood movies
Evil people doing evil things
Boomers
Mass-produced food in America (North America really!)
Cheap and mass produced... is no longer cheap and most of it is really bad!
It needs to change!
All of the ones you mentioned, but the lack of sarcasm in particular affects me the most, because it is complete proof of a lack of intelligence
Most things.
i hate all of those things with special hate going to tiktok. and the fact people get offended so easily, it's ridiculous
oh, and cancel culture
Still grumpy about the designated hitter. From the list above, influencers are the one thing that feels truly recent and awful (cancel culture and participation trophies have been around since I was a kid, and probably longer).
I try to recognize that not liking something that's aimed at folks 30-40 years younger than me isn't worth getting upset about, any more than I wanted to hear Boomers complain about the music/books/tv I enjoyed as a kid.
nooooeeeh, how dare you! We did everything perfectly!
(Actually, I'm probs not Gen X, fuck knows)
1965 to 1980
Know-it-alls
Do-gooders
Collectivists of all varieties
The general thin skinned mentality that seems to have taken over society.
As for malls, good riddance. Ugly scabs on the landscape that should all be bulldozed. Jeff Bezos deserves a billion dollars for obsoleting malls.
I'm on the tail of x. I once knew a peer who said he hated the use of the generation+letter terms as a method to group, or to divide, something to that effect.
What do I hate? I don't know specifically what, but the unfettered life and halycon days growing up pre millenium seems to have now almost been completely erased by glass buildings, swiping and inflation.
Going full tangental, it'd be remiss to say I hate politics. But I do hate the erosion of trust that was fostered in community. The misplaced trust in media. The misguided assumption that we should not strive to retain the optionality to maintain privacy, integrity and sanctity of our personal lives and private affairs. That our data should ever be vaccumed up on default settings for the whims of monopolistic quango-cum commercial arms of government, as artifacts for machine learning and surveillance.

What? One of these things is not like the others.
Would grunge music be a psy op for gen Xers?
New music!
Its literally the same beat and they use vocoders cause they can't sing.
There. I said it.
Hate that they killed video so quickly
