Holy shit i thought you people were kidding. What is this sanctioned-poserism coming out of Gen Z?

To be fair I know 50 year old GenX people like this.

These types of guys exist in pretty much every gen other than the Boomers (though they have some variants of this guy in other fields such as cars). They're just pseuds and poseurs (usually those in college or who attended college) who have always existed.

>>212022956 (OP)
I think there is a subset of twats out there that just take for granted that everyone is "faking it" just like they are, so there is no shame in it. Or course it doesn't stop them from then thinking "yeah but I still have the edge over everyone else!" which is why they constantly try to float bullshit since "no one will ever find out anyway"

Naturally it all falls apart the moment they deal with anyone over the age of 35.

I have seen people exasperated at the fact that the Kurtz only had a short screen time or the fact that the climax was underwhelming or that the redux version was tedious because of the long journey along the river (the whole point of this film). Or the fact that Kurtz wasn't some madman psycho serial killer.

The problem is that I've seen some Gen-Xers like this, especially those that are more affluent.

>>212022956 (OP)
Why do you find self-worth in a movie you watched while simultaneously getting off on putting others down? What a sad sack.

True, but even Gen X knows what "Vietnam" is, and wouldn;t be so utterly fucking uneducated that their brain desperately tries to refactor a vaguely-heard annunciation half heard once before, to where you're saying "Vietcom" and hoping no one will notice

I hate to break it to you, but there's no shortage of retards in this country when it comes to history. I'd argue there's never been a nation whose inhabitants are so oblivious to their own history than the U.S.
I seriously had to break it to my 24 y/o co-worker who before that conversation seemed like a normal, relatively intelligent and knowledgeable guy the other day that we didn't invade Iraq to fight Al-Qaeda. And he's one of the LESS retarded people I know and interact with day to day.

I live in austin and the saddest moment of my life was going to a concert on the UT campus and walking around and wondering "who are all these unsupervised little girls?" Before it dawned on me it was freshmen orientation and i am now old enough that 18 year olds look like children.

Well you didn't like it when Gen X had a hard on for gatekeeping so you stopped doing it. This is the result.

That's the joke you retarded Gen Xe/Xer. It's like doggy dog world. You're on the right track for replacing boomers in terms of retardation

That is exactly what they were disappointed in, how calm and collected he was while the build up was that of a jack nicholoson kind of madman savage king lording over his piece of an untamed land and its people, who takes pleasure in licking blood off of the machete.

>>212025396
Apocalypse Now = heroin
Deer Hunter = "dad beer" (PBR, Gennasee, etc.)
Full Metal Jacket = LSD
Platoon = weed
Hamburger Hill = meth
Good Morning Vietnam = whiskey
Born on the 4th of July = cocaine
Casualties of War = Mike's Hard Lemonade

change my mind

What's the point of long hair if you're just going to wear a hat over it. That's stupid, let that shit flow or cut it off if you can't upkeep it daily.

safe sleazy ahh 'jak.

These people "look bad on purpose" what they don't get is that even a hat is too metrosexual for the image they are trying to manufacture. i hate them.

There's a guy that looks like that at my grocery store but he just seems like a cool dude. We've never made more than small talk but that's good I don't want to have a deep conversation with the guy bagging my groceries.

>asking fake questions to try and catch someone out when they're trying to be friendly

if you continue to be like this you are probably never going to make it.

>>212025743
it's even worse in the book. Conrad does not make any attempt to explain what Kurtz is doing in the Congo that makes him so terrifyingly awesome.

>>212024573
you forgot the weeping about israel

>>212029594
Why would I want to be friendly with people who are poserish and insincere and act like they know shit when they don't? I know enough people who are not like that. Your problem (clearly) is you thought you'd be able to skate through life like that even further and further into adulthood. Nobody wants fake asses around, except other fake asses

I was back at my university for an alumni thing and a bunch of us decided to get dinner at the college pub. I have never felt more old. I think people like to larp about what they think being an old guy on campus would be like without ever considering everyone will recognize you as being old, and you’ll recognize them as very young.

i've ran into people like this of all ages (i go to bars and talk to strangers a lot) but usually people like OP's strawman are in their mid to late 20s
the few fresh 21s i do talk to tend to lack exposure to older stuff but i've noticed they're a little more genuine

>>212024047
a lot of the people who know more obscure things about history or US history (ruby ridge and the like) also tend to hold absolute batshit insane opinions they developed along the way (me included). i just keep the holocaust denial to myself, though
