I remember like 1999-2001 I had a fun job doing light construction and was making really good money. Rent was 400 bucks. Felt like I had life by the balls. Then I made a terrible choice to get a corporate desk job. I should stuck with the construction. Literally did a little work and just joked around all day. Went home without anything lingering, didn’t have my fricking email go off 200 times a day when only about 10 require any response from me. I shoulda listened to office space
One of my favorite examples of this is that video from the early 80s where a guy goes and talks to people at the 7/11 outside Disney World. Everyone has so much every and life (maybe they were on coke). He goes back 30 years later and the people are shifty and run down. Huge demographic changes too.
Past= foreign country etc
There are still many enclaves that are like that, although they become harder to find every year. If you've never experienced it and think it's just a play-for-the-cameras thing then you probably live in and frequent low trust shitholes
The Woodstock '99 documentary is pretty good, if just for the compilation of festival footage alone, but the commenters are so insufferable it adds a layer of unintentional comedy. The festival was extremely mismanaged as they outline, but they really go out of their way to revise history and blame "angry suburban white kids" for the bulk of the problems. My favorite is the guy who says shakes his head and says "talk about white privilege" at the cops not tear gassing the rioters, never considering that when the cops told them to disperse everyone politely left without incident. The black nerd giving a pseudo-Freudian Marxist overanalysis of why white kids would sing along with DMX is also a highlight, since it has no connection to reality whatsoever.
The "angry whites kids" theory is also immediately disproved since large festivals like Ozzfest were 100% whiter, angrier, trashier (and more based) and had none of those problems that '99 had.
Didn't watch the Documentary, but that seems "Liberal Boomer".
Their decisions lead to disaster and they blame young people while using identity politics to appear progressive.
That's exactly it for the HBO one. The Netflix one is more balanced but directly references buzzwords like "misogyny" and only alludes to the mismanagement while failing to examine it in any detail. Overall they blame the zeitgeist more than the organizers.
[...]
They also try to blame Durst for inciting a riot when he was really just saying the exact same rehearsed lines he does at every show during "Break Stuff." They try to do it again the RHCP for covering Hendrix's "Fire" as fires were being started, when that was already planned as the last song in their setlist.
To be honest, we tend to overfetishize happiness in this country. Maybe its because I am Gen X and therefore a fricked up boomer but my take on the festival is that it caused arguably MORE memorable performances then the original Woodstock.
People suffered through it but 99.999% survived it. Those who survived it lived through something that is entirely unique in the history of this country and only has ever been matched by Travis Scott Juiceworld or Altamont Rolling Stones. Very few people experienced a certain vibe of epic destruction like this ever or since. Think of rape and violence next to some of the most rage filled and soulful bands of all time. You could never recreate it its impossible with TikTok shit would be shut down in 4 hours tops.
Seriously its fun to go on youtube and see every performance once in your life. Even Dave Matthews Band is cool somehow. The amount of soul, performances its outrageous, Red Hot Chili Peppers best performance is there.

Government sanctioned attack on the American people. They got rid of recess at school for no reason. None of this is an accident. The government wants Americans to be fat on purpose.
slavs love metal music and basically anything edgy so to deprive them of that for so long with communism caused a build-up that eventually exploded
if you were to redo that concert today you'd probably get a similar response
The allies defeated the people fighting communism. Ever since 1945 our countries and institutions have been infiltrated and poisoned against us. They want us dead and replaced.
I guess people began to feel on a deeper level that something was wrong in the society, but things were still genuinely good on the surface, now there isn't even an illusion left unless you're an npc zoomer who takes 10 different anti depressant drugs and pretends to be happy on instagram
Just say israelites, the whole thing was a mossad-inside job. If they pulled 9/11 today the entire media would have all npcs believe like they do with every recent [current thing]
i love how in every thread like these morons are like its LE MICROPLASTICS and LE SEED OILS etc etc. all those things existed and were completely ubiquitous for 20 years before ops pic. its smartphones, you fricking morons
the problem is that everyone here is a smartphone addict and always will be so they cant admit it. it would be like sitting in a room full of people who are actively injecting heroin while having a discussion about WHY THE HECK AM I SO SLEEPY ALL THE TIME??!?
>LE SEED OILS
This is likely pushed by 'big sugar' similar to how fat used to be demonized. The low iqs go with it because they don't want to get up and move their fatasses.
meh i dont think theyre particularly healthy, but the important thing is that you completely ignored my actual point because im right and it makes you uncomfortable!
>LE SEED OILS
This is likely pushed by 'big sugar' similar to how fat used to be demonized. The low iqs go with it because they don't want to get up and move their fatasses.
morons, a israelite can poison more than one well at the time
yes but seed oils were extremely common at the time of the pic this entire thread is discussing. the important thing here is that youve 'won' yet another fake gay argument on the internet. keep pooooosting, you fricking moron
seed oil shit is true. look at every ingredient of everything you eat.
take note when you feel like shit. then look at the ingredients again, and it will have some sort of rapeseed/canola, palm, sunflower, peanut, etc seed oil.
eat less processed shit. eat less wheat. avoid seed oils, eat natural butter/olive oil/coconut oil. watch calories in, calories out.
Pretty much everything from that era is different to what kids listen to today.
This used to be considered "soft" music that proto-zoomerettes listened to
I'm missing the 2010s too and I never thought it would happen. Wonder if I'll have the same feelings for the 2020s in 10 years time but I doubt it.

I'd say it's 02 - 2012, didn't want to generalize the 2000s because that was more of a nu metal period (although I miss that too)
When I was a kid I used to hate Timberlake for being too gay but then I started liking his stuff. My sentiment to this is similar. Wasn't hardcore enough for me but now I realize I'd rather this than the mumble trap rap crap of today.
I just got home from an afternoon at the beach. I want to say that at least 6 out of every 10 people were obese or had a gut hanging over their bathing suits and feel zero shame about it.
Honestly, you should feel perfectly fine, because fat fricks are the majority.

Yeah, it was totally the fault of Limp Bizkit and toxic masculinity. Definitely not boomers demonstrating they were a generation of hedonistic morons who will sell anything out for whatever price they can get for it.
>aging millennials so out of touch with the world they think no one goes out and enjoys concerts anymore
sad to see honestly, its like your life ended in the late 2000s and you have just been a zombie ever since
letting kids get really fast was a trend that started in the 90s, it still happens the past few decades but there's a lot more health conscious information these days
They didn't let fats on tv.
Mostly this, fat and ugly people weren't allowed on live tv unless they were funny or talented actors.
corn syrup
seed oils
microplastics
those all existed in the 90s, they alone don't account for why everyone is so much fatter now
Social dynamics changing, smart phones, inflation, demoralization. All these things make people lazier and defeatists so they don't bother.
Skull and crossbones club.
Cinemaphile happened
Fred Durst is a based anti-vaxxed and not a sheepoid, checkity cheeck

We have Ozempic now, people will be this skinny again in 5 years
Anyone taking Ozempic will not live past age 50.
Yeah I can’t imagine still trusting pharma companies in 2024
That's ok.
As if anyone wants to live past 2050 anyway lmfao
>he doesn’t want to live as long as possible to see all the space probe la take pictures of our solar system
>thinking i give a single frick about other planets while my country rots from the inside
Frick off with your “oh my science” bullshit
Still higher life expectancy than troons or junkies.
without ozempic they'd be fat and die of heart disease long before that
why would you want to live that long anyway
That's what you toothless culture war idiots hope for you're not real people you're an npc now
100%. Just control your junk food intake and start exercising guys ffs it's not that difficult
Funny seeing the seethe ozempic causes people like you
Ozempic or no you'll still be out of breath after 10 minutes of dancing.
No one wants to inject shit in them on a constant basis. They will get fat again.
just don't eat that much
Why are you implying it's different today?
They became fat and sad.
They were happy because they're at a concert
They're skinny because they go to lots of concerts
>why are these people that are mostly 25 or younger and very likely to be intoxicated so skinny and happy?
Because there's no blacks around them.
Fat people were killed on sight
>watch any clip from the 50's
>99% of guys are very well dressed and speak perfect English
>women seem happy and healthy
What changed?
jews.
It was a different time.
that's a real good lookin dog
Why do they all look 30+ despite being 20?
Too much direct sunlight ages people like crazy.

Stop being antisemitic. Multiculturalism has made everyones lives better and improved all western countries.
The new version isn’t even that bad compared to today. Covid really fricked up social interactions
People were excited to be filmed back then and played to the camera, now if someone is filming you assume they have bad intentions
There are still many enclaves that are like that, although they become harder to find every year. If you've never experienced it and think it's just a play-for-the-cameras thing then you probably live in and frequent low trust shitholes
That's a very undiverse crowd.
Skinny chicks are cringe
I prefer BBWs
We know, fat people frick other fat people, you should all be culled though
is skinny and happy
Go to a modern concern with young people, most of the time are skinny.
off all the things to get nostalgic over Woodstock 99 shouldn't be it
Keep rollin’, baby

When I see videos of country concerts where the artist is younger than usual, (20s-30s) it looks the same

It’s crazy how thin people were. They weren’t healthy either so what changed?
Government sanctioned attack on the American people. They got rid of recess at school for no reason. None of this is an accident. The government wants Americans to be fat on purpose.
obesity rates really started ramping up in the years after 9/11 for some reason
>It's all about the he says/she says bullshit
I think you better quit, talkin' that shit
we need to go back
The Metallica concert of '91 in Moscow after the fall of the Soviet Union was something insane.
slavs love metal music and basically anything edgy so to deprive them of that for so long with communism caused a build-up that eventually exploded
if you were to redo that concert today you'd probably get a similar response
>caused a build-up that eventually exploded
This. People actually started raping each other during Sad But True.
The allies defeated the people fighting communism. Ever since 1945 our countries and institutions have been infiltrated and poisoned against us. They want us dead and replaced.
Do you live in Europe or something? Why do you say communism?
You had me at "skinny" but being happy in the 90s wasn't fashionable

9/11, and not in the meme sense.
Changed the entire face of the US and our culture. The terrorists fricking won, hands down.

Seed oils are literal poison moron, all those cases of cancer, heart attack, etc began when seed oil replaced butter and fat
seed oil shit is true. look at every ingredient of everything you eat.
take note when you feel like shit. then look at the ingredients again, and it will have some sort of rapeseed/canola, palm, sunflower, peanut, etc seed oil.
eat less processed shit. eat less wheat. avoid seed oils, eat natural butter/olive oil/coconut oil. watch calories in, calories out.
You didn't spend all day on your phone or a computer for entertainment. Eating takeout wasn't an everyday occurrence.

SSRIs
multiculturalism made things worse for everyone.

You are moronic it increased a low trust society and make people more anxious

take me back. no, really, take me back. id give everything to redo my teens, and experience emo girlfriends yet again.
i loved the scene. i loved every second of it. i will never apologize for being an emo myself.
That's nice. Now excuse me while I shove you into the locker again you homo
I was a 6'4" already in high school my man. I was a tall lanky emo motherfricker.
good luck
it was truly another time, we can never go back

Yea so was I. How's that swirly taste?

If I was fat I wouldn't have the hubris to go to such a place. People looking at you n shit.

9/11 and 8 years of Obama.
Mass immigration. The reason Americans have a reputation for being fat is because the majority of Latinos are obese.
Is there anything else you notice about that crowd anon?
It's still mostly whiteys that go to Bizkit shows
you mean wiggers
I somehow doubt these people give a shit about current rap music but maybe I'm wrong
rap has been in a kind of lul this decade. I was a huge rap head in the 2010s but now I hardly listen to it save for a couple artists here and there
