Nostalgia is bittersweet & I love it as much as anyone but the bigger picture is this: capitalism grows like a weed or a vampire & every generation had freedom without cameras like that until gen-Xers, who were the last, which is why it feels like such magic now even tho then it was just life & being outside
I’m a millennial. I remember a time without cameras everywhere. I also grew up in the poorest part of WV and I’ve seen my own childhood home in like 10 documentaries on poverty so…
I really don’t know what you mean haha.
"Wow, look how the peasants endure, so brave ♥️❣️❣️♥️❣️ now let's get some Starbucks" vs "Goddamn there's a lot of rats in this meth lab."
Both of these make my stomach turn.
I’m still poor. I don’t care though. I’m rich where it counts.
I have a gorgeous wife that loves me and kids who love me and can’t stand to be away from me.
I have 50 bucks in my bank account and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
I agree for the most part, but as an early millennial, we had that freedom too. Society didn't truly go crazy until some time after 2000 in my opinion. I turned 16 that year.
Early to mid mollenial here with the same experience. It all went downhill when Facebook and flip phones with cameras came out ie. around 2006.
I have repeatedly felt like taking some emery cloth to my neighbors ring door bell camera, which records me when ever I am in my front yard. There is an expense to replacing cameras and they seem like easy targets, if you go about it right.
