Go visit Tumblr. Or maybe don't. It is a cesspool.
No need. Baby boomers gave us right-wing talk radio, which has, for the last 25 years, flooded all the non-urban parts of this country with 3+ hours of whining every weekday afternoon.
I'm not saying Tumblr is great, but the kiddos still have a ways to go to catch up to grandpa.
I've always chuckled at the bashing of younger generations because the basher used to be part of a younger generation that was bashed, the cycle continues. People tend to look at their own generation with great fondness, often highlighting the positives and ignoring the negatives. There is also the person that will bash their own generation, it seems like that is done to curry favor with other generations. I never understood the bashing, there is good and bad among every generation, and there will continue to be good and bad things in future generations.
LoL. I don't care for talk radio, but it has nothing on Tumblr. When you need trigger warnings for your crappy fanfics, or are freaked out because someone doesn't believe that you have headmates or are an otherkin... yeah.
I'm gonna assume that you didn't grow up in an ultra-conservative church, i.e. something at least as far right as southern baptists in the 1980's, because my folk were all about getting triggered. We had boycotts against Disney for loving teh gheys and against Johnson & Johnson (IIRC) for having some kind of "satanic" or "occultish" elements in their corporate logo. I once took a current events class, wherein we had a field trip to a music store to pick out all the satanic imagery in the album cover art. Tipper Gore was just the tip of the iceberg.
IMO, the only reason the Tumblr crowd has any voice today is because of the internet. If we'd had internet back in the 80's, oh man...
The oldest respondent to give her age was 91-year-old Annette Benedict, of the Bronx. “I figure you’re not an ageist,” she wrote, a gambit that all but ensured her inclusion. Her suggested name was The Thumbies, for the digit used to operate smartphones. “I think that suits them,” she said, chuckling, when I called her.
Yeah, true... I was born in 77, so being at the tail end of gen x, and a little prior to mellenial might make me an xennial too.
...Party on rambot!
You were born in 1977?! From previous posts I'd assumed you were in your 50s or beyond because you have kids who are older than I am.
Wow. You're the same age as my uncle Dino (that's not his real name, but the childhood nickname stuck). My dad is the oldest - he was born in the 1960s, and Dino is the youngest. My uncles still call him the Backstreet Boy because he used to dress like one back when they were popular.
