In the 90’s a lot of popular song were pretty political, remember Killing in the name of and even the skate pop-punk has pretty popular political song’s (Offspring, Blink Green-day). Actually political movies were also quite big in the 90’s/00’s (French Masterpiece La haine, or the whole work of Michael Moore).
I would expect to see that the people who were teens/young adult at the time would tackle all these issues 20-30 years latter when they’ll finally take the power and the reality is that everything got worse, than even talking about-it make you sound like a radical, and that the gen-X/Millennials totally failed to change something.
What happened ? and how did we fail ?
I’m 45, I’ve been pegged into being a gen x-er, and a millennial. I can’t really speak for either generation, but at this point I feel I have more in common financially with millennials, despite having absolutely 0 adult supervision the way many genXers experienced. What I can say is that my cohort is tired, financially fucked over, and ready to burn it all to the ground.
Tired xennials unite…eventually…maybe just nod in passing. Fuck I’m tired
