Do the mid 2010s have potential to be more Legendary than the mid 2000s?

Nope, music is getting worse, mindsets are getting worse, ect. This generation sucks ass. Sometimes I just wish I was just a plantation concubine for a European man.

Past two decades have been wack imo. The internet is a huge thing...but outside of tech....not really feeling anything else (And even the tech is a bit overrated, I like interacting with people like we're doing now, but all the micro-transaction, apps, attention-span ruining shyt is ruining us).

Overall, I just feel like the US is a falling empire...times are bad. Race relations have gone BACK. Music is in the gutter (Including your precious indie, internet shyt, I've "dug", this shyt isn't special). Economy bad. Politics fukked. Demonic gay culture has overtaken race and class within progressive circles.

TV is 90 percent wack, the other 10 percent is amazing though.

I dislike film culture right now....not enough adult orientated flicks y'all.

ESPN trolling, race-baiting, and stat-nerding has ruined sports culture. Athletes are amazing, but some may dislike the fact that most of the top ones are likely juicing (I personally dgaf but to each his own).

The porn is good....

80's and 90's >>>

70's was good decadent fun >

Counter-culture in the 60's >

You've gotta go back to the 50's to find a wacker time period (For blacks at least, some cacs are heavily nostalgic but fukk them).

And I'm 25. So don't give me any old head shyt.

You are wrong!

Don't be deceived by all the tech stuff blinding you.

This is the worst time for black people. At least in the 60s, there was more unity with our people all over the world.

Almost all black countries got their independence in that era and there was hope.

Right now, shyt sucks dude. Black people don't care about other blacks anymore, we want to be accepted or be equal to whites.

LMAO @ our people looking up to a biracial dude to help solve some of our problems.

i personally think it's a good time to like rap. maybe not the GOAT. this type of shyt has to be said in retrospect but the potential is there OP.

one of the main things about this era is social networking and the way everything is connected. it's possible with all the spying and creeping going on nowadays that we'll look back and say this was a golden era but i pray, and i don't pray, that our best days are ahead of us.

My post was looking at it from an all-encompassing perspective. Race, society, culture, etc as a whole.

And as @Todd2012 said, I'd definitely argue against the idea that the last two decades have been the best for blacks anyways. 60's and 70's had traces of militancy, radicalism, and the civil rights movement at the time seemed like it was a part of this gigantic culture movement that was happening amongst youths worldwide. We had an actual *community* at the time, and we weren't so interested in supporting "ratchet" and "struggle" (I'm so sick of my people supporting these terms and behaviors) culture.

Hiphop hasn't been a sum positive for blacks. If anything, it's brought equal levels of positivity and shame. But when you look at the opportunity cost (All the people getting into this type of music who could have gotten into other types of music or even learned to play instruments), it sorta comes out as one big negative.
