What are these "adventures" young people supposedly go on? I was born in 1994, and life was pretty much the same as it is now. Just replace school with work.

I was the only teenager actually trying to be "adventurous", but that quickly got shot down because no one else was interested in any of the things I wanted to do. Everyone else was a lazy motherfucker who just went to school and sat at home after school and on the weekends. On the rare occasions I actually hung out with other kids, it was just playing video games or watching TV at each other's houses or hanging out in the woods or a parking lot.

Is it just TV-brained boomers and Gen Xers idealizing their own childhoods or confusing shit they saw on TV for things they actually did in real life?
