>Having a successful well paid career drove Gen-X insane.
It really did, Kurt Cobain was on top of the world and just had a baby daughter and he blew his head off.
>>214211400Wasn't his job literally to evaluate the mangled corpses of families who died in accidents and figure out ways for the negligent companies responsible for those deaths to get away with it?That seems like a really fucking awful job, I get why he eventually went nuts
He was in debt from consumerism and had no friends or life beyond wageslaving
>>214211400nah, it was more like the manufactured fake and gay judeo-corporate cultural degeneration that we fought tooth and claw to try and stop then millenials and zoomers slurped it up with a straw and begged for more
>>214211400not this stupid thread again. compared to his peers he was poor, also the movie is more about his repressed homosexuality
>>214211400>Having a successful well paid career drove Gen-X insane.SO SAYETH THE ZOOMER GENERATION THAT DOESN'T WANT TO WORK, BUT WOULD RATHER BE TIK-TOK "FAMOUS" INFLUENCERS INSTEADOkay sport.
>>214211499don't forget the constant jetlag from flying all over the country
>>214211400>EHRMAGERD!>Gen X DONT want to be wagies in cages!>I am so heckin smaht!
>>214211798this ya'll zoomers need to pull yourself by their bootstraps and start working
>>214211558You losers didn't do shit. Like any common person had a choice
>We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.”Woah... That's deep bros...
>>214211499Don't forget that Tyler Durden guy who was fucking his girl
>>214211673what the fuck are you talking about. that has nothing to do with the movie
>>214211974>we have no Great war, no Great depression,why would you want these things? does literally anybody ask this? lol.
>>214211673Same with the Matrix. Sorry it's all faggot shit!
>>214211430Because of gender dysphoria
>>214211946>grunge, x-games, skateboarding culture literally every aspect of gen x culture was about telling the corporations to fuck off and keeping gate keeping the culture from astroturfing kikery. >Like any common person had a choiceHad a choice in what? Who is making your choices? keep seething broccoli headed little cunt
>>214212118Some retarded redpill bros will say they do because it'll make them a real man
>>214212118Why wouldn’t you? It’s like the reverse lottery. If you survived you got it made in the shade kemosabi
>>214212118it's a stupid thing to say also because someone who was raised by TV and sat in a soul killing job like a retard for 10 years isn't going to do shit aside from whine about it.
>>214211430yeah he is an interesting case, I think he made music that he personally wanted too and it blew up way huger than he could imagine. If I did a biopic for Kurt it would be of a very neurotic man who spent time worrying about selling out or being a corporate whore. The rest of his band trying to reassure him that he wasn't.I believe stress exacerbated his stomach problems too which meant Kurt had a lot of pain he was covering up through heroin.Kurt was basically a guy who did what he loved and it destroyed him. He had no way out since he was making too much money to quit.
>>214211400He didn't have a cellphone like you.
>>214211400i've had many opportunities to work cushy desk jobs at my mom's CPA firm. >hate crunching numbers>can't stand being inside all day>can't stand doing the same thing every day i genuinely enjoy my job. i work outside. i work for myself. i get plenty of exercise. sweat a lot (very healthy for you).
>>214212157Too bad you all sold out anyway!
>>214211400modern work lifestyles are mostly gay as fuck. It's just usually better than being poor. They still suck though.
>>214212137Your life is faggot shit
>>214212180if you survived as an american in WW2, maybe. Everywhere else has to rebuild and waste their lives.
>>214211400>>Having a successful well paid career drove Gen-Z insane.
>>214211430murdered by his mason patrons THOUGH>27 club>3*3*3
gen x were just boomers but without the decency to at least enjoy themselves as they ruin everything
>>214212897>singleOH NO NO NOahahahahahahah
>>214212897>im participating in siphoning wealth from the poor and transfering it to wealthy jews who want to destroy our society and white people, but LOOK AT THIS SALMON BAGEL THING!! WATCH ME DO PUSHUPS!!!this kind of person that seems to pervade all of social media has genuinely got to go, probably via violence.
>>214211400And it only got worse from there. Ask yourself why
What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that we live in a world of myths. And you're not supposed to realize they aren't true.For example a lot of people STILL believe in the Disney concept of love. 4chan is pretty jaded so it's probably common knowledge here that disney love is just a concept invented to sell an idealized view for entertainment and not how romance works in reality.However this is also true for something most people still don't realize: Happiness. People seem to have this idea that as long as you just are successful, have a great job, good income, bought your house, are happily married and have kids that you magically just become happy. As if it's some sort of formula you go through to achieve happiness.In reality "happiness" in that form doesn't actually exist. How you feel right now is mostly how you're going to feel no matter what your personal circumstances are. Sure you will experience temporary highs and lows based on the circumstance but it always comes down to your regular patterns of thinking and feeling.If your mental disposition is negative and you are a moody person with depressive tendencies then that will ALWAYS be the case, you could be emperor of the fucking universe and you would still be depressed and whining about the demiurge or something, you will look for something to complain and be unhappy about.Meanwhile a person with a happy disposition will be the happiest person alive being homeless.This is an extremely though pill to swallow for a lot of people because it essentially implies you are born happy or depressed, which is basically correct if you actually know a lot of people and how things affect them.I say this as someone lucky enough to have a happy disposition on life and always believing everything will be okay. My mother and siblings are the same, which points towards a genetic factor at play here.
>>214211400This film sucked but Brad Pitt made it kino. The split personality twist was fine but of course like all these arthouse “le I’m a cog in le machine” it goes off the rails in the third act and jsut shows why people like this need to be cogs because their minds are jaded and immature
>>214213101Nothing in this life is supposed to make you happy, YAHUAH makes you happy, all the other things are blessings he gives you that you appreciate but understand that when your time is up on earth they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven with you- finding happiness in life is pointless, you work because you have to, you do things because you’re good at them, you use your gifts to honor Yahuah- but other than that you understand it is all finite and has an expiration dateSelah.
>>214212238That is some retarded cope. “Making too much money to quit”. Just brain yourself fag. If he even did it to himself he did because he was a mentally ill and emotionally stunted manlet drug addict. He could of just quit. Nothing was stopping him from just cashing out and staying out of the public eye. I like his music and feel bad for how he ended but I hate Kurt idolizers so much.
>>214213101I was depressed for a few years and it didn't go away with a change in circumstances or even wealth (that was never a concern to be honest, we were always doing well) but with my outlook. O still needed to go through several experiences such as making friends and learning how to manage that before I got to a point where I'm generally cheerful with depressive episodes.
>>214212238He already romanticized getting famous and dying young by his mid teens. He probably just didn't realize it would actually feel as shitty and complicated as it did. Also, I've begun to wonder recently if his stomach issue might be related to using cannabis. It lines up with him starting use in his teens.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_hyperemesis_syndrome#Signs_and_symptoms
What a life
>>214212897absolutely soulless experience
i refuse to believe any happy or content people spend time on 4chan/social media in general
>>214213436I've literally only met a single genuinely happy person in my entire life and it was some mathematics autist that published papers but decided to live in the forest to pick mushrooms instead. He came to the shop I worked all the time to buy fertilizer
>>214213482You met Perelman?
>>214213482Ted was trans he probably wasn't too happy.
>>214212118If you make it through those things (you won't) there is usually an upswing after
>>214211400>I-I have a stable job in a functional economy and I can pretty readily afford buying a home and starting a family? And I can do this comfortably for the rest of my life while still affording vacations and creature comforts? AHHHH GET ME OUT OF THIS LIVING NIGHTMARE, QUICK BOMB ME TYLER DURDENWhat did Gen Xers actually want then? This seemed like a pretty common sentiment from the media of the time, but there didn't seem to be a real alternative. They just go "dunno, not this tho lol"
>>214212238The dude was a total fag. He wanted grunge to replace metal but grunge is such a boring style of music. And why did he even try to make it into a genre war? It was a one sided conflict. The guy was just a nutcase who'd suckstart his shotgun regardless
>>214213719The human condition is to always want. For people who grow up in strife—the silent gen, the impoverished, Palestinians—the want is obvious: to be free of the material torment. For those who live comfortable lives in comfortable environments, the torment is spiritual. They want something to want.
>>214212897This looks comfy minus the performative "self-care" and having to live in a giant city. I'm pretty content just doing some boring but consistent desk job and then just playing vidya but that's hard to get to
>>214212118It's something you say when you're a retarded high schooler in a first world country who never had to go hungry a day in his life, or worry about having your brains blown out by an enemy sniper. It's a misguided sentiment from people who want purpose but think they're the ones who would come out of a global conflict unscathed
>>214213761That's extremely easy to get to. Just learn to code.
>>214213072If you saw how the poor actually lived you'd be like that photo of Hillary Clinton in a working class kitchen
>>214213719this movie came out like 5 years after the grunge "nothing matters, society SUX, we've been abandoned!!! time to kill ourselves!!!" weird genX culture peaked. that's the kind of people that come out of being parented by baby boomers, I guess.
>>214212118There's that one proverb that goes "May you live in interesting times" which is supposed to be ironic
>>214211400We took things for granted and thought having a depression is the worst thing that could happen to you.
>>214211400I’ve talked to like one guy who understood this. Working in an office sounds like literally hell to me. Maybe to non-creatives it sounds okay but I couldn’t do it. Only like one guy has gotten this maybe my equal.
Times were good so we went to pieces over insignificant crap.
>>214213482Uncle Ted was miserable, though. Even in his ideal rural life he kept lashing out at his neighbors.
>>214211430Courtney did it tho
>>214211430He was a egg (tranny)
0 people would agree with me but I really do think it is because we have better goon-tech nowyeah yeah porn addiction bad and so on but zoomer kids are always relaxed and have their frustrations tempered on a daily basis
>>214213719>What did Gen Xers actually wantmommy's love and daddy's approval. why did you think they whine about being latchkey kids all the time?
>>214211974In the 90s, the Soviet Union collapsed, Japan, an economic threat, stagnated, and America literally had no enemies.So the CIA and Mossad began making their own enemies of America. The Gulf War wasn't enough.
>>214213910the big irony that so many miss with kaczynski is that he was, himself, a leftist
>>214213968Social Media/Internet doomed humanity, the Tower of Babel was a prediction and a warning.
>>214213482dude shroomz
>>214212897who the fuck still plays minecraft as an adult>>214211400even if he had slightly more money he'd still be an incel
What you kids fail to realize is that corporate office drone bullshit is way worse when you don't have a computer in your pocket. You're stuck in a cubicle with a bunch of fucking highschool losers reliving the same class hierarchy in the workplace. The snitches, the bullies, the nerds, the office whores. Everything. You are forced to fake interact, fake dress, fake pretend for 10+ hours a day with no escape. No phone. No music. Nothing. Just sitting there droning by on one tiny small screen that hurts your eyes. Crack a smile the wrong way and some faggot reports you to HR to get their good goy points begging for that raise. Everything is slow as shit. Everything needs a physical copy. You are wearing dumb fucking uncomfortable clothing every day. At least open office piggies have windows. Cubicle life is literally bright white lights on bright white walls on bright white paper all day every day. It is the epitome of soul sucking.
>>214214734there are no white collar jobs that arent soul sucking outside of unique/rare roles like tenured academic, C-suite executive, scientist at a national lab, et cetera.
>>214214734>bunch of fucking highschool losers reliving the same class hierarchy in the workplace. The snitches, the bullies, the nerds, the office whores. Everything.

Crack a smile the wrong way and some faggot reports you to HR to get their good goy points begging for that raise.Oh joy, and now we get to do that not just 8 hours a day but 24 hours, 7 days a week!Sick aura bro, you're not some kind of incel right? #livin'mytruth
>>214213101this is the biggest trvke on this whole website and deserves a sticky. shit like love and happiness was fabricated completely to have you chasing something that doesn't exist. why do you think millenials either spent their whole lives hotdesking relationships or became a neurotic shopping addicted disney adult
>>214213101what if you take an SSRI though
>>214212118The truth is far worse. We are in a permanent depression. Young people have been in a constant economic downturn. There doesn't need to be 1 bif great depression that lasts a couple of years. There can be one that lasts 20 years.
>>214215391a good friend of mine fell off the wagon and ended up in a padded cell for a month or two. when he got out he was on SSRIs and was not a conscious human being. He used to be a real fucking person and now he's gone but instead of burying him I get to bump into his corpse shuffling through Walmart every month or so. What a fucking waste.
>>214213719The deeper meaning is lost on us because the peak of the 80s and 90s economies are long gone and the middle class has been struggling since the recession in a way even the most pessimistic people couldn't have predicted. All these movies that talked down to middle Americans for their lifestyles just aged terribly
>>214215391>what if you take an SSRI thoughThey help some people, maybe not too many. Many people they do not help, some people they hurt, sort of "make numb." There maybe worth a try if you're in really bad shape? That's basically the answer.
>>214211558Millenials were as anti corporate as possible. Hipsters were all about authentic, craftmanship everything. God you boomers just want to blame other people, no matter who they actually are.
>>214213790>That's extremely easy to get to. Just learn to code.I thought there were way too many coders applying to too few jobs now, i.e., the market for computer coding jobs is shit? Flooded by jeets and chinese etc?
>>214213890Wow you sure sound super special. It's like the rest of us are npcs compared to you!
>>214214734>You're stuck in a cubicle with a bunch of fucking highschool losers reliving the same class hierarchy in the workplace. The snitches, the bullies, the nerds, the office whores. Everything.This isn't true in the admittedly one office where I worked, or the two internships, which were just three months each. Everyone was basically "normal" and nice without any immature high school type relations. The only exception is the HR woman (lol) had a strange argument with a new woman employee, which resulted in the HR girl being fired. I never understood exactly what that was about, but it seemed strange for 30 yo adults to be involved in. Otherwise it was just nice, smart adults doing their jobs.
>>214212118Better to have a purpose to live and die for than nothing at all. Struggle has made "us" what we are, far scrappier and smarter than we would have been if we just walked around in the tropics eating fruit all day without any struggles at all (lookin at you, Africa.)>>214213862That's a curse, not a proverb. The years that pass without incidence are a blessing compared to when things are happening and "interesting," of which 99% is plague, famine, or war.
