>>69074425
You have NO IDEA what it was like.
The U.S.A. was nirvana before 9/11. We stopped caring about social issues (from the left and the right) because everyone was making lots of money.
Even in the 2000's before the Great Recession, you could open up a business ANYWHERE doing ANYTHING and people would pay you tons of money.
I opened a business inside of another business with a single poster board in the window and we had so much work I had to hire two employees within 3-4 months. We renovated 4 times to add capacity to our little room within 1.5 years. It was incredible. People didn't care what they were spending money on.
That's what bern victims will never know, is that when the USA is firing on all cylinders you don't need free anything because any idiot can make plenty of money. Guys were running tools around construction job sites and were making 60,000 a year. A friend of mine after high school worked for a security company making 100,000 year, reimbursed for three meals and all his clothes, lodging, travel, company provided vehicle. He tested security pads that people put their security codes in. He ate at Red Lobster and similar restaurants EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK.
>>69074425
yea after 2001 everything has consistently gotten shittier.
90s were awesome. People were hatin on ill Bill C for no reason.
Smartphones and social media are really what's killing society though.
'93 here. grew up the youngest of 4...
the main cultural drop off has been in music. music modern day cannot ever compare with the 90s, 80s, or even the early 2000s.
Holy shit so many kids in here
98 here, Trump is the answer. I'm heading off to one of the most liberal universities in the world and if Trump gets elected it's going to be very satisfying to see all the sjws and black lives matter heads implode. He's going to Make America Great Again and end the period of Bush/Obama fuckery that we're used too.
>all these kids

>>69075404

Christ, how is time passing this fast?
98 reporting (18), last year in high school and I can't wait to get out, I am literally knee-deep in blue-pilled cucked Sanders supporters. I am wondering how many of them will change their views on socialism as soon as they stop benefitting from the gibs and have to bear the brunt of the tax burden.
1984 here. Growing up in 90's Australia was pretty rad.
Everyone's a retard with no attention span, no respect, no critical thinking, and insane entitlement now.

>>69074967
Always the cuck from Canada
Why does it always have to be Canadian too. Change the flag to an Arab cock.
The 90s were god tier and an economic boom. All my aunts/uncles and my parents made enough to buy houses during the 90s.
Awesome music, cheesy dawn-of-special FX movies, no millennials, no rampant terrorism, no ISIS.
9/11 is literally the day the 90s ended.
>>69075956
Youre just jelly senpai
>>69074425
87 here: no, it's all over. 9/11 changed everything.
87.
It was fun while it lasted. I remember staying up all night playing Ocarina of Time on a tiny television in my bedroom. After school a few of my friends and I would walk over to the library to get on the Internet to look up cheat codes on how to bring Aeris back to life. We'd stop off at the gas station and buy a Jasta, look at the MAD Magazine and then on the way home talk about last night's South Park and who was the greatest Dragonball Z character ever.
And all our parents had disposable income. No one was ostensibly poor, just less well off. We didn't put as much value in clothes and shoes. No one had a cell phone.

When the "bear the brunt of the tax burden", they'll just blame the right wing racist rednecks for having white cis privilege. You have to understand that most of these people are irredeemable and mentally ill.

>>69074570
Also 95, le ebin millenial who barely remembers the 20th century. Life now is suffering and we can never return to the past, as much as I want to believe me. I am a pastoralist romantic till death.
There is something magical about the future. We have unprecedented technology. We are beyond the physical world. We live in abstract networks, in clouds, in a digital dimension.
I've stopped taking society and politics to heart. Race is a meme. Freedom is a meme. Equality is a meme. Etc.
The natural order subsists, and I recognize it, but it seems most of humanity has not. We will drive the Earth to a point of self-consumption.
In the future I hope to upload my consciousness and live on the Internet.

Seriously? I was 15 when it happened here, I think, and I didn't really give a shit. I live in Indiana and outside of wanting to kick some Mudshit ass, it didn't really impact us too much.

>>69076322
I was in Junior High. It was early in the morning, 2nd or 3rd period. I walked into Social Studies and the lights were all shut off. They had pulled the television up front of the class, and everyone was quietly watching. Our teacher, I forget her name, was crying at her desk. She was Lebanese, her family were all Christians who had moved to America in the 70s and 80s. She was crying into her hands and kept saying, "They'll never stop, they'll never stop."
I never really thought about the rest of the world. I just thought it was like this everywhere. Everyone was happy, everyone got along. War was something that happened in the past when a rare evil person took control of a foreign nation and we had to save the world.
I thought everyone loved us for being the hero. They looked at us like Superman, serving humanity faithfully. Making sure the world is fair and everyone gets a piece.
That's the exact moment that I learned I was wrong. Some love us, true. But a lot envy us, despise us, hate us, or fear us.

>95 here.
It's possible that our country will be financially and mentally better in the next few decades. We're just going through a lot of shit. One reason is that older people don't know how technology works, which makes it harder for financial shit to be done. Soon, more people will know how to use computers and get things done faster and financial stuff will become more organized. Also, more college kids are working jobs and are learning to deal with nonstop labor and how to manage time so there will be more devoted and experienced people in the future as well. Tbh, the baby boomers are one of the reasons why we have to deal with this shit because they're spoiled fucking brats.

Nice, now go make it better yourself instead of wasting your youth online. Stop using degenerate terms like 'yo'. Carry a pleasant presence. Spread your ideological seed, but do so wisely. Heed my words, you're too young to spend time here.
>>69076774
Sure why not?
The material world is inherently superficial.
Even so called "progressive" movements and thought is just as if not more discriminatory based on pre-set characteristics like class at birth, skin colour, and sex. Simultaneously it attempts to redefine language (the foundation of our communication, but perhaps not for long if we all start speaking code :^) and create open-ended concepts of identity that present to challenge nature and biology.
It is deconstruction at its core, with no reconstruction.
Unfortunately traditionalism mostly attempts to take things out of context and apply them to present days and present times. This is foolish.
The reaction mirrors what it reacts to. In behaviour, in zealotry, in delusion.
Balance is key. 01. Something that keeps society moving on this divine trajectory, without losing sight of what got us here.

98 here, seen the crumbling of America first hand. It was at least decent when I was little, but it's been totally fucked. Shitty father dumped me as a kid and I've lived in poverty and homelessness and been dragged all over the country.
Fortunate enough to have worked my ass off in high school and get a full scholarship to a top tier private university. Heading there this autumn, get to vote for Emperor Trump and hopefully MAGA. If not I'll just head to some other country.
>>69077334
>older people don't know how technology works
Nigga, younger people don't know how technology works. They know how to MAKE IT work, but they don't know HOW it works. Thanks to Apple and its IT JUST WURKS philosophy dominating modern tech, nothing requires any thought. 80s-early-90s kids had to learn how to use a goddamn computer. Now dipshits just stare at their phones and let everything be done for them. Same shit with video games. No one has to think about a goddamn thing anymore.
>>69077491
Yeah. Once that first plane hit the word trade center, everything began to go to shit.

>>69077249
You remember the major things that happened in the late 90s but you don't seem to grasp how carefree everything was since you was so young.
People used to go camping, fishing, and played sports like football and basketball. Popular culture was far from politically correct and the Internet was some new, amazing thing that seemed infinitely large and untamed even though one half of it was Mr. T ate my balls and the other half was Burt is Evil. However, as cool as the Internet and PC boom was, we didn't spend much of our free time on it since family was more important. The 90s was great since it was the last decade that people actually socialized in person instead of doing it electronically.

these. 92 here. smartphones for the common man and services like twitter really put us over the edge. boards like 4chan were places where freaks could be called freaks by other freaks. Now everyone's likes are compiled into a top 10 list, and people's interests average out instead of branch out. Movies and music are overly rehashed solely because theyre projected to be profitable. I used to go on reddit in 2007

Good riddance.
Society is a failed state.
I was born in 93, my earliest memories were enough for me to feel extremely bitter about the world I live in now. My girlfriend was born in 96, which seems to have been just long enough for her to have hardly more than a brief memory of VHS, and as such she doesnt seem to identify with as much disdain for how things of turned out. Im not sure if those 3 years were really such a big deal, but it seemed sufficient for her to never experience the glorious late 90s-2001

I just want to contribute to society and have a job.

>>69078018
Well, it's hard to define what above average is.
My top choice was literally the best possible school you could go to for my field, and they only take about two-dozen kids for the major I wanted. There was another school that's arguably top-ten in the field that I got into, but it's turning out that it would be completely awful to pay for because they offered me almost nothing. I got into the best school in my state and can go for free, but I feel like it would be hard to make the same connections at if I attended.
A lot of it just comes down to shit that's out of my grasp, and it annoys me. But I'm being a faggot with all this /r9k/-tier rambling.
>>69078385

9/11 was bad but what really fucked us was 2008.
And at this age I can't get a good/stable/flexible
job. Everything requires a college degree.
Everything is so shit, depressing and cynical all the time now. And it may be nostalgia or my eyes losing light sensitivity. But I remember the late 90's and early 2000 being brighter and more vibrant in color. Like the difference between 4k and 720p

I don't have a purpose. I feel like a lot of people in my generation ('96) are the same, but they never have had a moment of introspection, or if they did, it was a "wow, life is like, really hard" 21pilots bullshit lyrics type of introspection.
People feel like it's okay to be failures because the world can revolve around them. Even before smartphones, the internet is a way to get on demand tailored entertainment whenever you want. Smartphones have given your average American a device that allows them to only have to pay attention to exactly what they want, feel exactly how they want to feel, etc. It's kind of horrifying. I don't have to talk to a classmate in the bit of time before the professor walks in, I can see if the Swedes have been emasculated again on /pol/. Jenny across the room doesn't have to pay attention to any of these subpar men around her, 100s of people are liking her spring break photos on Instagram. James can ignore the calculus professor, fail the test, bitch about it on social media, and feel in the right. I don't know what the point of what I'm typing is. I feel personalized tech is making the world smaller in an unintended way. Everyone has a gilded cell of their own creation. It's unavoidable. Medical technology and video games are nice, but sometimes I wish I was born somewhere else. I would have liked to be an outdoorsman or a chef. Fucking instant gratification.

80s kid here, you didn't miss much. Degeneracy and Jew tactics were in full swing by the 90s although the EARLY 90s had a little bit of that white 80s flair.
Honestly western life has been cucked since WWII, with only brief respite in the 50s and then the 80s.
The 2000s were better in many ways from the 90s. A least you have the internet and anonymity and communities when you would otherwise be isolated in your alt opinions in most parts of the past without joining some secret club.

The worst part about it, I'm coming to understand, is our own peers. I was raised in an evangelical Christian household, and religion aside, the biggest thing I got out of that was the sociability. I was essentially forbidden from being a NEET sperg because there was always some potluck to go to, or some event we had to host because my father was the minister. So I never got to just "stay home." As such, I learned how to actually interact, face-to-face with people.
So now, I'm perfectly capable of carrying on long conversations...with people 20-30 years older than me. So much so that I'm basically the face of the local business I work for now because I'm "such a nice young man with such a bright smile." If I try to be chatty with most--not all, but most--of my peers, the most I get is an "uh-huh" or a short answer before they go back to their phones or whatever else they're doing that's MUCH more important than interacting with a fellow human being.
Fuck it /pol/, I didn't want to feel tonight. I'm old. I'm tired. I've got a kid to raise in this shithole reality we created. I don't know how to do it most days.

It's actually around 20% of 4chan according to numerous strawpolls I've seen during the past few years. 4chan is no longer "in vogue" and kids are most likely to shitpost on Tumblr instead of 4chan. Most can't handle the archaic interface.
There were actually more tweens here during 2005 - 2008.

Can attest my generation is full of cognitive dissonance and a bad case of entitlement and were so full of ourselves.
Personally though, i blame all this shitty fucking boomer parenting. If you wouldve actually not spoiled your kids and beat them from time to time we might be better as a society but no...
I also blame modern pop and hip hop for decadence in our society.
Intelligence and learning is shunned while getting fucked up and trying to be a retarded nigger because its the in thing.
Social cancer.
I have hope for us though, maybe another world war will toughen us up.

Arcades were closed down by the 90s except shit like Chuck E Cheese or other kid bait places like a wharf. These places are still around in the right places with some new hipster bait retro ones as well.
90s was plenty internet and computer savvy. It was more primitive but message boards were popular and like the wild west with little to no regulation or moderation.
Game consoles had been around for EVER by that time. Gaming was popular in the 80s and even more so in the 90s. PC games started taking off as well. Kids played outside about as much as today. The biggest difference between the 90s and now as far as child experience is social media and smart phones glued to your fucking face.

92 here. I've come to find that my year was more or less the tipping point of degenerate retardation in the youth. I have no interest in most people my age because they are just intensely boring people. Their hobbies consist of Facebook, Netflix, and getting fucked. I want to raise a family, but at 24, I've realized I missed out on teen romance because of aforementioned lack of interest, people have gotten no better or more mature in the time since, and before too long, the women my age will be hideous, wrinkled husks from their horrible lifestyles. So my options have become limited to finding some fucking needle-in-the-haystack younger girl or dying alone. Fucking joy.

We still had plenty of them in Indiana until around 1999 - 2000. I agree with the rest of your post except for your claim that kids play outside today as much as they did during the 90s. That's bullshit. Here in Indiana, every fucking person played basketball and thought they would star in the next "Hoosiers" movie growing up (including myself).
Now kids just play nba 2k16 instead of picking up a B-ball. The courts in the parks are fucking empty.
>>69078654

I am guilty of this but mostly because I don't have much to say to other people. And that is a side affect of the internet.
You can do most things via the internet even socializing although it is not as filling as the real thing.
Talking to people IRL just doesn't get much done today, because we don't have much to offer each other anymore, nothing to gain from each other.

Be above your generation, it will help you whenever you look to advance yourself with older people. Learn about the perspectives of their generation rather than just your own, try to understand what they as older individuals must have felt as they went through events in their lives. That will allow you to relate to them directly and allow you to grow as an individual beyond your generational viewpoints. If you already feel alienated from your generation, this is only sensible, but you should surely attempt to understand the influences of your own and following ones as well, because while it is indeed mundane bullshit, it will allow you to navigate their state of mind.
America will only be brought back to her former glory should the peoples which inhabit her look to do so. This means nationalism and fighting against those who seek only greatness for foreign places and foreign ideals. This as well means combatting illegal immigration and the incursion of hispanic influences, they need to be assimilated to cherish and follow American oriented values, and should they not be, they are indeed enemies of the state whether they realize it or not.
It can be a painful route to understand what must be done and realize that the majority are indeed delusional and manipulated to be counter against it, but you must strive forward and fight for what is right.
Complacency allows the enemy to succeed. Don't degrade yourself into being a contrarian idiot as too many here tend to do. You must find the proper path, learn how to uphold it, and live it as best you can. You are young and will find yourself looking to be combative, but you must use your combative spirit to fight your very nature and learn to understand as best you can what truth and rightiousness means. This means coming to know yourself, your family, your nation and country (as they are one in the same), and the world itself. You must drive yourself to be an exceptional individual in all regards.
The 90s were good if you were a kid/teenager, but they sucked dick if you were an adult. This country has been on a downward slope since Reagan left office.

I hate my life, but this hits home. I made friends with all the old folks in my suburb. Out of all the kids who walked by this one old dude named Earl to the bus stop over four years, I was the only one who would talk to him. 20 or so kids came and went daily and I was the only one who said more than a few words to this guy. He was a Vietnam vet. He showed me a picture in a book published by LIFE or TIME that has him waving from the ground as a helicopter with a reporter flies off. He had (has) hopes for his grandkid, who was great at soccer but wanted to be a lawyer. He met his wife in Spain.
I'm the only one who knows any of that, out of all the people my age from my neighborhood. Because I'd stay for more than a minute talking on the way back from school.
I want to connect with people in college. I'm human. I'm lonely. I thought it would be different in high school. I'll try to carry on with somebody about the class we're in or about some common circumstance but I'll get nothing. My chem lab TA - who would make most of pol have an aneurysm - legitimately will shut kids asking her questions down because she's busy on social media. I looked her up - it's not like she's even cultivating a positive image. I don't fucking get it. I don't get it. I wish I got people.

This. People had hope in the 90's. Families were together. We watched X-Files and Baywatch. Clinton was moderate. The Backstreet Boys were pure. Read the linear notes on Backstreets Back.

Because retarded is the new normal. Everything centers around them; anything that inconveniences them triggers Pepe levels of screeching. No one gives a fuck about anything greater.

Lie. That's how I got my first job.
Pirate resume software, like Winway, which will format it for you and give you general wording advice.
For work experience put ONE job position. Be clever and use common sense. If you're applying to a retail job, then put line cook as your experience. The point is just to show you're willing to learn and will show up.
For the jobs address and contact information: I recommend choosing a place that went out of business. As for contact information, list the """ manager""" number as a cell, and make it one of your parents or even a friend. Let them know. If they get called they'll give you a glowing recommendation.
This is exactly what I did to get my first job. I basically got it by lying and putting my mom's cell number as the manager, thanks mom!
Once you get your first job you won't have to lie anymore. And I do strongly recommend the resume, even if where you're applying is application based. Resume helps you stay on top of your lies.
Also: consider beaner work. I got a gardening job real easy before. I don't even remember filling out an app for it. Guy who owned it told me it was gruesome work (it was p. Hard being white under the sun), but if I called by 5pm that day saying I want the job I'd be hired (I was).

92 fag here. Yesterday I hung out with my second cousin 10 yo. I feel bad for kids born nowadays. So I decided to show him what childhood should be like. We went to the park and threw a frisbee, skiped rocks on a lake, rode bikes, climbed on rocks, I made him a slingshot and we tried to shot birds, gave him trust and minimal supervision, we climbed high up on jagged rocks that would make most helicopter parents faint. you should have seen him, it was the best day of his life. I can tell you this anons, there is hope for the next generation. And that hope is us. The ones who have seen first hand the slow transition of this country into what it is today and know if only barely( in my case) what this country was.
>>69080234
>If I can get this--why can't my ostensibly "normal" peers?
I don't know, man. I think it has something to do with the fact that we can craft an iron-clad routine for ourselves. Nothing alien will ever, ever enter your sphere of influence if you don't want it to. Some old dude talking to you on your way back to your house? You can ignore him, just give some curt (but not rude) responses and you can go on your merry way. You don't have to see what you don't want, and that includes the man who'll be dead in a couple years standing in front of you, trying to ask you how your day was.
Ignoring that man is seen as normal. I got laughed at for sitting down and talking to my older neighbor and his wife.
Born in '88. Things started cascading downward in a serious way in the mid-2000s -- this coincided with the rise of social media. There was a brief renaissance in the 1990s with respect to race, intelligence, and other previously taboo subjects, but I wasn't old enough to participate in any of that.
We had landlines, made prank calls using telephone directories, played outside, set aside time for LAN parties, dialed-up, and experienced lives not completely dominated by digital or electronic interfaces. I remember building my first computer and gaining access to the internet.
its kinda hard to explain anon but history felt like it was speeding up as the millennium crept up

83 fag here, I was 18 when 9/11 happened. The 90s were amazing, Great music, no sjw faggotry, you could smoke in denny's, and if you had 2 parents working in your household, you were rich as fuck. My mom and dad were both truckers (mom local, dad OTR) and we always had new vehicles, steaks on Saturday, huge Christmas's and amazing vacations.

Fellow 89er who feels your pain.
Just a friendly reminder that we are both millenials as well, fwiw.
I really feel like our generation should be split at the point where people started to grow up with smart phones. People born in 85-90 have way more in common with gen X than people born between 95 and 00, who had smart phones from age 10 and up. Those years in between are a hodgepodge depending on economic circumstances and where they're from.
At least anime is easier to watch now and any music is downloadable now, you're no longer restricted to the playlist the record label releases and van create mixes and videos with any song you like.
Also the shift from televised news to the internet has opened up a much more sophisticated discourse and not the simpleton dialogue of the past which was restricted to what the news networks revealed.

You don't like basic arithmetic? Wat
2016 - 1997/1998 = 18

>muslims blow up shit everyday
Sad but true. Somebody told me about Brussels when it happened and my first response was "oh, again?"
Pains me to think what my children will have to deal with.
>>69079936
92 here. This.
I think what happened to the current generation is that technology has made it possible to completely drown out the voices of the older generations.
>>69074642
They actually have rehab camps for people addicted to technology and shitposting where you go camping in the woods with no internet for a week. Maybe you should look into it anon
>>69079414
Also 92 here. This describes me word for word as well. Wow.
>>69074425
>born in 97(18 yo)
Jesus christ when did this happen? People born in '97 are 18 now?
How long have I been asleep? What year is it?

>>69080714
Ouch. That's rough man. I can't find it, I know I have it, but this is the perfect time to insert that pic with the /pol/ radio tower that talks about how ironic and backward our world has become where what was used to be known as the asshole of the internet has suddenly become a community of forthright men, simply because it's the last "rebellious" thing we can do.
>>69080467
Its a first time desu.
Since you're apparently more experienced, any pointers, senpai?
>>69078695
Youre doing a shitty job so far id say seeing how white children of 8 years and younger will be a minority in a few years.
(right now that number is 5 year and younger)
Banning guns across the board stops gun crime.
Inb4 We need guns to protect us from the crazy people with guns
>don't let the crazy people have guns, idiots
>>69080350
don't push it. Remember its the fact that your not an entitle ass that your bragging about.
>>69081005
IT'S (THE CURRENT YEAR)!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
I turn 19 in a week, if Trump doesn't win I'm more than likely going to kill myself
>>69080285
>because apparently even data entry clerks need a fucking 4 year degree today
It hurts...
>>69080062
Thanks for the encouragement, man. I hope I get to where you are so I can just enjoy my life, at least one day out of the week. I'm tired of being ashamed of myself and worrying about my future. What's your job? Just curious.
>>69080888
I think the point is that there are a certain set of feels that come along with ageing, and seeing new generations come along reminds you of how much time has passed.
Why do you fuckers always got to come along on shit on our feel parades.
>>69081130
Mexico has a universal gun ban. Shut up.
>>69080847
If you ever tried to fap on an internet connection slower than 56k, you're held in higher regards than other millennials
>>69080988
Ours is a miserable lot. My last act of defiance against a world and nation that have turned their backs on humanity is to vote Trump, join the Army, and pray for either some miracle change or a valiant death. I'm fed up with it all, my friend.
>>69074425
96 here, know that feel, 9-11 is one of my earliest memories so i have no idea what the world before that was like
>>69079706
89 here
91-92 is the tipping point . My peers got Facebook and cell phones t the end of high school . Instagram in the 2nd year of university
Younger people got those things earlier and their lives revolve around Instagram, bars, selfies , netflix
Nobody plays outside anymore. I feel bad for kids and teens in the current year , they are going to be fucked beyond all belief
>>69081130
1/4 of all guns on the entire planet are in the hands of private U.S. citizens. "Just don't let the crazy people have guns" isn't a realistic solution. They're going to get their hands on one if they want to.
>>69081111
I know, it's a damn shame with all the fucking race traitors having children with people of other races.
>>69080577
>Life isn't going to get better for you, it's neither brave or honorable to drag it out. Just end it all and then you'll no longer feel the pain of this existence. The only reason why you haven't offed yourself is because you're a pathetic coward. The pain you feel will still be there years down the line.
Nice b8 m8.
Do you get off to telling kids to kill themselves on the internet or were you just born an edgy faggot?
>>69077232
I know precisely how you feel. It's maddening.
>>69081307
>two years and a fucking website separate mostly-functional human beings from the mindless social-networking robots I grew up with
Fuck. Technology has betrayed us.

Not trying to be defeatist. I don't feel defeated yet since I'm REALLY desperate and I'm still trying. If I were defeatist, I wouldn't desire a job. This is good advice, by the way. Whenever I walk in with an application to turn in, I've just handed it to some worker girl because I always feel like a retard. When really I just wanna ask for the manager or whatever and beg for a job explain how desperate I am to work. Dunno why.
>>69080734
This guy gets it. Great post brother

The arcade nearest to me had a LAN setup inside, every Friday we would go play street fighter and counter strike until it closed.

Please don't lose hope for all of us, senpai. Can confirm most peers are fucked, though.
>>69074425
Fellow 97 bro. It sucks our generation is full of legitimate retards
>>69081045
1. Go anywhere that sells firearms or ammunition in California.
2. Get a firearm chambered in another caliber
>>69081422
Arcades those were awesome, terrible waste of coins though, thankfully we have emulators now.
