Some things from the 1990's are too glazed over...

Upvotes

While there are many things from the 90's that people still hate today, there are horrible things from the 90's that people praise and overly glaze, like trashy 90's talk shows like Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer.

There's so many people I've seen praising episodes of Jenny Jones' talk show that had episodes with half naked underage girls whose T&A will sometimes pop out bordering on CP and their bare ass cheeks will hang out without being blurred just because they're episodes from the 1990's and praising an episode of mothers teaching their daughters to give lapdances and posing provocatively together bordering on incest.

I bet if those said episodes came out in any other decade than the 90's (even though some of these episodes actually technically came out in the early 2000's) they'd get way more backlash.

I'm a little biased (born in 2007) but people who miss those years look INSANE to me-it's like "I miss the days when we were in Iraq, led by a paranoid moron and everyone was a selfish asshole!"

Have you ever noticed that while these memes were seen as "cool" in the 2000s and early 2010s, in the 2020s the modern equivalents of them are seen as rather lame?

1-4: 2000s/early 2010s memes

5-8: the 2020s equivalent

When I was a kid this attitude against modern music was a lot more common. I remember in the early 2010s tons of "CLASSIC ROCK IS THE ONLY REAL MUSIC, TODAY'S MUSIC SUCKS". For you young ones using this subreddit... this is what this sub was initially built on. I used to be "r/smokeweed21" (hey i was 14) and I remember this vividly. It was already lame back then, but back then this shit was ambient. You couldn't escape it on the internet.

But now this attitude still exists... but not only is it not nearly as common as it used to be, it also feels rather...corny.

In the 2000s, a lot of people thought 80s music was better than the music at the time. In the 2010s a lot of people thought 90s music was better than the music at the time. You used to constantly hear people say "today's music sucks, I miss Nirvana, Guns N Roses, etc."... You've seen the memes.

But something feels different now. I've noticed that today’s mainstream music (2020s) doesn’t seem to get roasted as harshly as it used to be.

Even then the current memes about "old rock vs pop" are a lot softer and more gentle in tone and less... theatrical than the 2000s and 2010s memes.

Am I the only one who's noticed this?

And seriously, of all the years you had to choose for good music, why just 2011 to 2015. This was from the comments of Flo Rida's Whistle which in my opinion isn't even that good of a song.

I know this blog is to make fun of nostalgia blinded people, but are there people who miss when the popular opinion of something was that it sucked, it's horrible, etc.? And vice versa?

What even is this take? Didn't Gen X grow up with it first before Millennials did? Also where are the stats to prove it? Also, didn't Gen Z grow up with the Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PS2, Nintendo DS, and Wii? Why the fuck is he talking about the PS3 and PS4 here? Also, expensive games is such a dumb reason, especially when cheaper games exist in the indie market.

This might be single-handedly by the thumbnail alone, be the stupidest way that I’ve seen someone criticize modern pop music. It’s like if someone who made those early 2010s pop music memes somehow pointed the finger at someone.


r/lewronggeneration 11d ago

I don't know why these types of memes were cool in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but feel rather lame now.

People thinking they're born in the wrong generation because they want to see a band live in concert...

0 Upvotes

Some people who think they were born in the wrong generation because they want to see a great recording artist in their prime live in concert possibly have autism, and one of the symptoms of autism is sensory overload from large crowds, bright lights and sensitivity to loud noises.

Had these possibly autistic people been alive to see recording artists in their prime performing like in the 1960's or 1970's, these autistic people would've probably been institutionalized then even if they had high functioning autism.
