This must be the worst time to be a teenager

[Cave Savage]

Most definitely. Sometimes I feel like we are a bit too dependent on this stuff

I almost feel like society is becoming dystopian because of it.
Planned/forced obsolesence is part of that

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I’m sure they okay. You out here sounding with the “back in my day” shyt

This whole thread is filled with flab

 

[Mowgli]

At least they don't have to wait two weeks to fukk a raggedy bytch

 

[MidniteJay]

shyt .. that's 's another thing. Back then if you took an L during a fight... no one within a 1 mile square radius would know of it. Now you could go Viral. That shyt is sad to see.

Bully tactics must be on 1000 now in high school since everybody has smartphones I bet schools are like surveillance states

I don’t know Breh where I’m at it doesn’t go down like that. Reading y’all takes on it makes me even prouder for the kids I know.

I live in NYC. shyt is crazy. It’s like the kids do way more grown shyt. But way less mature than we were while doing it.

91 baby here.

Late 80s/early 90s babies were born in the perfect era man.

It's not really that bad besides a lot of the music being fast food type shyt and everything being on social media

Most of the dope shyt that happened in life was tied to music or being outside. So you are wrong.

You hear an old song and remember what you were doing, who you were with, and what you did. These kids now are gonna hear songs 10 or 15 years from now and remember sitting in the house alone, tweeting "it's lit" with a bunch of flame emojis or doing tiktok dances for internet strangers

Some of those are men too

Every time I read one of these nostalgic threads I say “damn does time fly”

 

[ShenJingPoQi]

The best thing before the internet and social media was you NEVER knew what was next. Saturday mornings you either go to the park, mall, pool and basketball court but you never knew exactly who was there and what you would get up too. It was a thrill and a high. You really didn’t take social interactions lightly as it was your nature high, you couldn’t wait to meet the homies or holla at the ladies.

And in another 15 years this current generation will be saying the same thing. Because every group thinks they we better than the current/future

Ole “back in my day....” headass

Another corny nostalgia thread

Why do people naively say this? Society booms and bust and culture goes along with it.

In no metric is the 1930s better than 70s. The 80s weren’t better than the 60s and 90s were better than the 70s. Culturally speaking and economically as well.

Those early 2000s summer days,

Midday to sunset just playing ball or chilling at the block. Magical stuff.

And bird babble used to be confined to a dumb hos diary or cuts on her arm. She didn't have a platform to spout her nonsense.
