You didn't have people saying "trans women are women" in the Daily Show era. "Did you just assume my gender" and "I identify as an attack helicopter jokes" were very popular at the time.
yep, that meem owned the chuds fellow xister! mocking transfolx and bipoc is soo 2015, good thing i escaped the alt right pipeline and realized i was a woman
those aren't facts those are opinions
are you trying to trick me again
you're right, it's not a joke anymore. we're dead serious.
This is the problem with leftists in general. Their badly formed opinions are facts. And those who disagree are not stupid, they are evil, and they literally fantasize about purging them.
lmao this is the equivalent of the kid getting roasted screeching about how it isn't funny in front of the whole class laughing at him.
I DO think it's funny and I'm tired of pretending its not
Everything was objectively better a couple decades ago
Everything did used to be better. Ever since boomers it gradually degraded and every generation onwards had a worse culture
The US has been on a slow steady decline since like 1920. It accelerated in the 60s and again in the 90s, and really accelerated around 2007, but we've been sliding into decadence and post capitalism for more than a century.
Personally I think 2007 was the last year when "soul" was still a thing and there was some faint glimmer of hope. That being said shit had already become pretty bleak since 2001 (you know what i'm talking about). I think the internet and more specifically social media has absolutely accelerated the social and moral decline of the West more than any other single factor. Human beings were not meant to live in a world of instant gratification and connection. The human brain isn't built to process thousands of persons opinions, as well as an endless stream of information and news and ads. We are on information overload and it's killing everything.
Here's an article that had a strong influence on my views regarding that: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/americas-white-saviors
Read past the muh Israel focus at the start, it's mainly about the effects and power of propaganda and the strong increase of control on the human psyche that social media brought
>the US had been on a steady decline since 1920
The US wasn’t even at its peak power yet in 1920, the only way you can justify this statement is by appealing to someone’s sensibilities on the state of its society. Culture is still the USs #1 export, if anything they’re stronger than ever on a worldwide perspective.
>the internet is ruining it
The internet is ruining everywhere, euros are just as susceptible to American media as Americans are. Go to a board like Cinemaphile or Cinemaphile and they all know and buy into every hyper specific dramatic news story the same way the overall population in the US does. Everyone is just looking for content that will make them content and justify their feelings of superiority, and because of the internet they’re finding it.
this image has to have been made by a 22 year old
it's cold nostalgia, not soul. I might be twice your age and I remember "soul" dropping off a cliff sometime within a few years before 2010.
>cold
did I seriously make a phonetic typo, I really am getting old
Soul died in the 2000s. The 2010s always felt soulless.
Early 2010s were shit, you are just a zoomer who doesn't know better. Only good thing Cinemaphile wise during those years was Baneposting
They were shit but the world still resembled something human then
Now it's just clown world nonstop
OP is clearly a millennial, if he was a zoomer he'd be talking about how "bussin" the current era of Fortnite and Tiktok is.
you joke but zoomers constantly post about how they miss the "2018 fortnite era"
you are blinded by nostalgia, the early 2010s were shit, most of the stuff on the left is shit too, I mean the fricking Happy song, the annoying earworm song that every normie played nonstop, is soulful in this? also
>apolitical
>obama
>daily show
that proves you were young as obama was just "the president" and the daily show was something your parents watched or whatever
Here's the thing, the standards are so low now that the only criteria for being nostalgic for something is "well it wasn't quite as bad as it is now"
Never thought I'd see LMFAO and Angry Birds in the nostalgia column. Back in my day those were the cringe things that normies were enjoying. For me it was more like 2004-2011. Guess I'm getting old.
LMFAO has been nostalgic since 2017 when this board did the "Pickle rick's in the house tonight" meme. People were saying how shit the Trump years were and how they missed being in high school in 2011.
Obama years were garbage unless you were black.
I hate every single thin on that image
This isn't a reflection of the actual state of the world, it's a reflection of how pop-media viewed the world. In 2008 they believed that the battle had finally been won. Obama would usher in a new era of progress. Everyone important was excited.
Then 2016 shattered their delusions. The voters rejected their progressive utopia and elected a reality tv star president. From that point on it was no fun allowed. All resources must go to indoctrinating the population, or demoralizing those that refuse to fall in line.
>ywn again be called a Black person by a hispanic 12 year old in a competitive multiplayer lobby
Remember what they took from you
We didn't know how good we had it.
I miss "Smack the Fat Kid" from Halo 3 custom games.
>Saw her in the Amazon
With the voltage running through her skin
Standing there with nothing on
She gonna teach me how to swim
Such a great song, perfect for when you’re around women
>Obama
>Soul
You're some reddt zoomer. You do realize the obsession with race and gender was during Obama's administration, right? Oh, right, you weren't even aware of that time, yikes. Obama fueled those race baiting BS. What makes you think Trump was elected to begin with? Culture war didnt start during 2016 you mong, it's been happening since the 60s.
What is up with these zoomers getting nostalgic for the era they didn't even grew up with. The only saving grace of early 2010s was Ron Paul, and wasn't even included in that shitty pic, this was definitely made by a libtard zoomer trying hard to fit in
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, comedians like Chris Rock, David Spade and Dave Chappelle, the return of Trump in 2024, and making traditional movies/TV shows that audiences actually want (not the activists on Twitter who probably don't watch media) will save society and bring us back to 2009-2015!
Trump returning in 2024 won't change anything. SJWs will just quadruple down on wokeness like they did after the 2016 election. It's too late to put the genie back in the bottle.
Trump is going to rot in prison for life and rethuglicans will never win another election ever again
Based. I hope you keep voting democrats until you finally reach your goal of turning the US into a third world country.

Good joke
At least in the early 2010s, we were recovering from the Bush Recession and had *some hope* for the future. The War on Terror was winding down after Bin Laden was killed. Nobody cared about politics because it was insignificant, our leaders at the time were boring but reliable. There were no genuine crazies in power. Pop culture was light-hearted, apolitical and fun, reflecting the bright mood of the times. And when you talked to people about "what do you think things will be like in the 2020s" people were cautious, but mostly excited to find out what would happen.
Compare that to 2023, where everything is fricked. Politics is fricked, the economy is fricked, personal freedoms are fricked, public discourse is fricked. Everyone's mentally ill, insane subcultures are being normalized, censorship is the norm, media and journalists are batshit crazy, there's literal wars raging across the globe. And nobody has any hope that things will get better. Everyone's just expecting this decade to be pain, misery, bloodshed, violence, collapse, turmoil. There is, quite literally, NO HOPE. This was not the case 10 years ago.
it absolutely was, Youtube was at it's peak, people like shane dawson and ray william johnson not only made content more edgy than the "edgy era" of filthy frank and idubbzz but it was accepted and promoted by Youtube itself.
Pop music was also at its peak and gaming, movies, and even tv shows were also still great.
2015 was the year the first woke disney star wars came out, and wokeness was already well underway into being pumped into our culture
>left
slop
>right
slop
What's the difference, OP?
Soul ended around 2007 when Obama first appeared. Trust me. 90s and early 2000s was normal. Internet culture was only for the proto Cinemaphile chuds and it was perfect.
Women ruined the internet when they got iphones. Then blacks came in and ruined it more.
YouTube went to shit around 09 when copyright takedowns happened.
9/11 did more damage than people realize. Bush did the right thing to colonize the middle east but it resulted in backlash which developed into the modern liberal.
Wrong, Flipnote Hatena didn't even come out until 2008 and that was peak internet
>Flipnote Hatena
Thanks for bringing back memories anon
I have to agree. Culture and history seem to have simply stagnated since 2007.
>saves tv and cinema
nothing personnel
Maybe. I wonder why they didn't wanna show Monkeys breasts like og GOT
Imagine Dragons does not fricking capture the zeitgeist of the 2010s. They are widely mocked for being unlistenable garbage. You might as well make a “good old days” collage of the 2000s with Nickelback and Creed.
why did less people care about politics in the obama era? sure there was still pol threads but never this bad
No complete social media takeover yet
Oh no not the fall of kabul!!
>Zoomies unironically think the 2010s were kino
lmao
Better than the 2000s and 2020s
>Better than the 2000s
The 2000s had a moron president, shitty economy, shitty music like Nickelback and emo. The 2010s had a good president (Obama), an economic recovery, and the return of good 80s-90s music like original grunge and synthwave.
Holy shit you are actually moronic
t. Bush supporter
The only good thing from 2010s besides Trump was the zoomer haircut style which i do wish we had in 2000s.
Music wise it's about the same but at least 2000s wasn't obsessed with black music like today.
Also emo/goth was real back then. Now it's watered down and made cute instead of scary.
2000s you could get a whopper meal for like 5 bucks. 2010s was when the dollar menu died for good.
Also liberals weren't as annoying. Being anti war wasn't cringe because you didn't have to align with BLM, Lgbt, trannies, Hollywood. You could be against iraq war but also traditional conservative person.
Life before internet was also better. Sure we had chat rooms in 90s already but school wasnt a place you worried about social media or being recorded. It was more free.
Back then if you dressed with slim pants and v necks you'd be called a homosexual. Now it's the normal or you look like adam sandler boomers.
The zoomer haircut is from the 2020s, not 2010s
>better than that time-frame where I was 0 to 10 years old
for me they were and im core millenial, i liked the mid 2010s most, not so much late. early 2010s were meh for me
>better than the 2000s
zoomers destroy everything they touch. used to work with a 14 year old that would never shut the frick up, hyperactive little homosexual would non-stop try and bait me with dumb shit. ignoring them physically hurts them, which is why they use outrage tactics, trump blew a fuse in american brains on both sides and zoomers saw how much it pissed everyone off. they DO NOT CARE about politics, they choose shit that will piss off the most people to farm reactions and attention. Boomer groomers will chase them for two reasons, 1. Pedos love kids, 2. They're perfect mouthpieces for nazi shit that actual boomers are too pussy to say, because they're more than willing to say ANYTHING for attention.
Don't forget they were neglected by millennial parents, they ALL have ADHD and probably a flavour of autism from all the junk food their parents fed them.
Some anon said we should focus our attention ok the next generation and ignore zoomers as statistically they are asexual (ADHD fricking FRIED them) and will not reproduce, which is probably the only option at this point.
>Muh nazis
lmao
See what I mean? These might as well be fricking bot posts. They provide nothing and only serve as an attempt to tilt.
It's the default setting of a child to poke shit until it breaks or bites back, only their parents never slapped them for shit so they don't know how to stop.
Imagine an entire generation that avoided being physically disciplined, they feel untouchable, no ramifications for their actions.
Only... there are ramifications, like ignoring them. It's the only punishment they understand because it's built into social media, the block button.
So now when they poke something and it gets a little scary, they just push the "SAFE SPACE" button and run.
Seek help dude
You're the kind of unhinged where everyone can see that you're unhinged except for you.

Fricking have a nice day
all bad in the second part come from the first part you fricking imbecile
The bad of the second part came from Trump pouring gasoline on the culture war
