People these days have no idea how much political turmoil existed in the 80s and early 90s. Culture wars were 10 times worse than they are now. Gen X and early Millennials won't talk about it for good reason.
Te Io meto, baby.
>>84308497Ok bro really
Before the internet, the disenfranchised would commiserate and form tribes amongst themselves in the real world. Now that's all gone.
It wasn't "worse" it was a real, natural reaction to the state of the world. And it didn't get "better" the elites just learned how to better anaesthetise the population
>>84308522Nice sugar coat. It was fucking hell and you know it
>>84308531bullshit man. Life has literally never been objectively worse. in the 80s and 90s you could have some part time job and rent a half decent place of your own, etc etc Smartphones and netflix became the perfect opiate for the masses. If people actually still reacted to how corrupt the world was with force, there'd be daily violence in the street.
>>84308559If you say so. Everyone back then had to rely on wit and foreshadowing to predict what the masses were leaning towards thinking next. Younger people learned at a snails pace. You either learned fast or get slashed in a dark alley by the wrong crowd. Tell me I'm wrong, because you can't. YOU CAN'T
>>84308494we wouldn't remember. we were kids then.
>>84308576it might have been grittier, but it would have at least been real.do you prefer a complete made up fantasy world compared to living in real gritty one?I prefer the latter
>>84308584Forgot to include younger boomers

>>84308559>>84308576Punk rock was never a political threat and anon is right, you could live in nyc on pennies back then. The book please kill me highlights this. If I could go to any era and just live it would be there at that time. I dreamt I was a very clean tramp, by Richard Hell Just Kids, by Patty SmithTwo other good autobiographies about it
