pre social media and commercialized internet

People will no doubt point to certain things - everyone's white, nobody's on their phone, etc. The usual. But really, it's so many things, and it's all lost.

>>213985011 (OP)
Heroin.

>>213985011 (OP)
Nostalghia. Maybe people in 30 years will think today was kino.

>>213985011 (OP)
No internet and less colored people

>>213985011 (OP)
You were a kid

Question is, will it be out of blind nostalgia, or will it be because the future is going to be that awful?
>>213985156
Nah it's not. Our current year is pure shit.

>>213985139
>Maybe people in 30 years will think today was kino.
Only because the world will have gotten so much worse

If things are even worse, of course they will. I experience this now. I disliked a lot about the early 10s as online commercialization bled into every aspect of culture and life. Yet now it seems like it was a better time. Even though it was coming off of "the worst recession since the Great Depression". Whatever problems we had then were so minor and meaningless compared to today.

1999 was the last peak before the fall. Why have things gotten this bad? What's the end goal?

It was a far better time when people were less brainwashed and didn't have to deal with algorithms pumping slop into them. That said, if you're an autistic retard, your life would have been shit then too. We put creatures like you in asylums until the 80s, and everyone was better off.

>>213985011 (OP)
Wow these 16 years old look like they're 30

>>213985139
explain the zoomers that find the 90s kino then. you cant be nostalgic for something you havent lived

>>213985413
They idolize a past they never experienced because their own reality is so shit. Kind of like polcels idolizing the 1950s.

>>213985457
so you do admit that the 90s were kino and its not just nostalgia.

It has already been said: A larger percentage of the white demographic ran things and populated western nations. Additionally, they were proud of it and not being manipulated into suppressing it or their culture. Everything else fell in line after that. When that percentage decreased, so then did the quality of the entertainment industry, and the people working in it. Every system collapsed like dominos.

i like the video of the guys in the 7/11 at like 1 am in like the late 80s or whatever. everyone was so happy to be on camera and to talk with them

Yes, it was unquestionably a better time. But not in the way that zoomers think. Media depictions don't actually represent life and that's what you're fixated on.

>>213986009
this isnt a "media depiction", this is more like a time capsule or a diary entry.

>>213985413
Zoomers are a brainless subspecies and it's best not to dwell on how their limited consciousness works.

>>213986071
in many cases they are just you but 3-5 years younger. wake up

>>213986063
Those are all media and can never let you experience what living back then was like. You idolize the happiness depicted in these media without knowing why their creators were happy. You can identify some very broad differences between our time and theirs from statistical trends and other evidence, but you will never know exactly why these specific people in the video are so carefree and happy.
