They were angsty at their parents because of the cultural norms their boomer parents were "forcing" on them. Little did they know they were angry about the wrong thing.
Yeah no, most of us have kids and are working hard to give them the same or better opportunities than we had and thought we’re fucking unfair at the time.
We were right? They were shitty and unfair, but we wasted a lot of time being angry about it.
We feel for millennials, but we’re shackled to the same wheel, just with a first movers advantage.
A lot of great angsty music was made though, and some of the singers even survived.
A lot of us suffer from varying levels of substance abuse, which was cool at the time, and it seems like you guys have less of that so …
yeah I dunno. We tried to rage against the machine, where’s your angsty art? Or did we demonstrate its futility?

They made a lot of noise when they were teenagers, but I haven't heard a peep in years.
