OK so what was the difference between being a dumb kid in the 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s?

When I was 16 in 2008 the world was nanners and I remember it being fucked to me, when my 20 something friends were 16, the world was also nanners and gee whizz the zoomers are completely fucked up too. 

The world has always been nanners and will continue to be so.

Having been a dumb kid in high school when the towers get hit , I can tell you a lot changed here, like a fuck ton, by that singular event and the subsequent wars.

20 years of war and attempts at empire building have left a massive change to our culture here in the USA that is seismic.  

Shit, another easy one is we had a few incidents here and there leading up to it but didn’t have Columbine until 1999 and nowadays kids here have lockdown drills shooters happen so often compared to the 90’s. 

Nostalgia is about rose colored glasses and ignoring the obvious problems of the past - but some problems are new to this era and didn’t exist previously in at least this society.
