I find it amusing that you didn’t even address the biggest problem with this. You are obviously an iPhone user. And iPhone users are completely ignorant to how these ‘tapbacks’ are received by Android users. Sam liked “blah blah blah super long annoying message sent right back to me, etc. etc.” And of course, iPhone…

Thanks for pointing out the misinterpretation of that scene, something that always bothered me. Lots of other reasons to criticize Whedon’s writing without misrepresentation.

I honestly wonder if Whedon actually truly believed the things he was saying early in his career?

While we’re on the subject of failures, why don’t you eat some avocado toast or something that Millennials supposedly do instead of buying houses and diamonds? Are you really mad that instead of fixing the world up the way you want it to be, we spent our youth getting fucked up and piercing ourselves in strange…

Something to also note Gen X is a smaller amount of people than the Boomer Generation so despite their influence on things it was also the minority in comparison. The Boomers had greater representation and power within society. Truly the millennials who are all adults now could easily take over and sway society over…

Yeah I’m very Gen-X. The 90s were late high school, college and my early 20s. I have fantastic memories of clubs and concerts and MTV 120 minutes and college radio. I think we’re always going to be nostalgic for the music of our early adulthoods. 

They’ve already failed. Blaming the previous generation for not fixing their problems is how you know.

Is this because GenX won’t take a side in the skinny jean/side part war? 

“Failure of Gen X.” I’m not sure in what magical land a “success” could have happened. Or how you would define a “success.” People may change their views over the course of a lifetime, and some not at all. Cultures change even slower than individuals. Seems a bit unfair to blame Gen X just because they furthered the…

Cool. I look forward to Millennials fixing America’s social ills since Gen-X failed. Then I look forward to articles like this, written by Gen-Z, complaining that Millennials did not fix America.

You forgot Fugazi, Liz Phair, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains, The Pixies, Nas, Wu Tang, Mobb Deep, Gang Starr, John Spencer Blues Explosion, TLC, Tribe Called Quest.... too many bands to name, so much awesome rap, so much awesome prog/math rock and electronic, club, tekno, drum and bass. I’m totally dating myself here but…

I turned 7 in 1990, and am raising a kid (now 10) during a time period that both my liberal parents AND Trumplican grandparents agree is THE WORST.

“Objectively” is the new “literally.”

Primus, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Rancid, Butthole Surfers, L7, KMFDM and hell even those Hillbillies in Pantera were laying down some sonic slabs of awesomeness. PVC was fashionable. So was flannel. AFI were still a punk band. And the Ramones were still cranking out records.

Uh... objectively terrible??? I mean yes, but still... what decade hasn’t been objectively terrible?

That’s your metric for leftism, defunding the police? That’s not how leftist governments work, they have lots of police. Lots of government, lots of control. Which is right in line with his politics.

46 percent of voters, not 46 percent of Americans. And if you watched the last four years as nearly half a million of us died due to a virus that the president did jack shit to try and protect Americans from, impeached twice, colluded with other countries to overturn fair elections, putting innoncent children in…

One side literally just stormed the US capitol, erected gallows, and threatened to hang politicians. So no, I have zero desire for unity with anyone who supported that, and the fact that we still have politicians who defend it is disgusting.

Right?

My mom had bosses do this into her 50s (she’s about to be 60). She is an engineer with TONS of work experience - usually more than her bosses - and was infantilized because she didn’t have a BS as a designer but was doing the work of sr. engineers. She got her degree and then started on her MS. But she won’t…

The kiddo part is what really got me. the rest is just garden variety misogyny but calling someone in their late 60s kiddo is just the worst.
