70s are when the pills started being given to children
90s were the peak at least the pills they gave you then fricked you up instead of just making you a fat moron
So tell me again how your 38 have a mediocre career and an ugly wife. You probably should take some of those zoomer pills cause even if you lose the weight you'll still be a slob inside it's just a trait of a kid born in the 80s cause that was the culture. Jiving to Black person music and israeli music while doing loads of drugs flashy colors and then pissing away the last of the wealth in the 90s while you pissed shit and cried listening to Marilyn Manson and thinking a stable career is bad
i dont know you and im not involved in your argument with the other anon but i just want to tell you that you come off as an extremely bitter human being and I doubt you have any friends. That's all I wanted to say.
He was depressed because although he was materially successful his spiritual life was piss poor. He had no purpose, no friends, no community no love, no hobbies, no bigger dreams beyond the next promotion. Just work and home. He was an empty worker drone bug-man.
>A stable job and high pay is all I need to feel happy and that my life has a purpose and is meaningful.
>Nooooo life should be like my Chinese cartoons! I should be worshipped everywhere I go even though I'm average looking with no talent! I don't wanna work!
Why did millenials resonate with this message so much? Get a grip and check your privilege. If you live in the west you have it better than 99% of prior human existence
>Wanting to have a basic social life is the same thing as insisting everyone should bow to you
You're just gay and moronic, there's no use in discussing anything with you.
>Nooooo life should be like my Chinese cartoons! I should be worshipped everywhere I go even though I'm average looking with no talent! I don't wanna work!
Yes? Or at least I want to work for something that's actually valuable and where I'm valued.
all of those low level corporate people were subject to mass layoffs every few years as companies decided they could just ship all of those jobs to india to be done by 10x as many people but for a tenth of the cost
you also didn't see as crazy of a distribution of salaries like you see now where most people in office jobs are capping out at $100k (basically like $60k in 1990s money) but some codecel autists are pulling in $500k a year just for working for google and making the search feature show even more homosexual Black person ads

we're frickin chumps
Cinemaphile culture has spread all over pockets of the internet through proxies like Twitter, reddit and Instagram.
Reddit took all the green texts, webms, and thread questions
Twitter took all the thread ideas and copied typical posts from here
Instagram just straight up used screenshots of stuff going on here and webms with sound.
Then everybody kept circling those Twitter screenshot memes around until they became the culture.
Now there are douchebags on Twitter making these tweets in Cinemaphile b8 style without even knowing where it came from.
The amount of people with access to this culture is beyond measure and it's safe to say it's only growing
>Cinemaphile is heckin racist, sexist, homophobic and transhphobic! >but I want to make jokes like them though 🙂
Gatekeeping is good, frick sellout mods
i love this argument because the only people who make it are people who have never worked a trade in their life. my entire life ive been surrounded by trades/military people and every. single. one. told me not to do it and that it wasn't worth it even on the best days. trades are incredible on paper but dogshit irl.
I can corroborate this, every tradie adult I knew growing up said to not go into the trades because it'll frick your body up by your 40s, and to go to school and get a desk job
the only people I see shilling trade work are gays like Mike Rowe that are theater students LARPing as blue-collar advocates
Show me one master plumber, electrician, or carpenter who says that. The guys who b***h about it are probably the same ones who make the trades suck. The drugs addicts, ex-cons, alcoholics, weirdos, you name it.
The smarties in trades would never bother talking about the job in that way. They're genuinely too intelligent to bullshit about "job advice". Guys who actually made it from nothing. They value their time more than anyone else.
Grass is always greener.
Desk jockeys tell you it isn't worth it and they should have learned a trade.
Tradies tell you it wasn't worth it and they should have got a desk job.

The disenfranchised men in fight club work all kinds of jobs though.
I don't mind doing electrical work overall. I left doing security for it, sometimes I miss it but overall I'm happier for it. Guess it depends on the person.
GenX and Millennials were really just turbo boomers without the wealth. Spoiled rotten little shits who cared about their own excitement above all else.
New generations always blaming the old ones. Almost as if by design. I get this feeling we should all be pointing fingers at a very specific group of people instead of at each other.
I have a pet theory that humans are never "meant" to be at peace
that when things are going extremely well and there are no real existential threats to your wellbeing like threat of invasion or other shit, that's when people invent stupid shit to freak out over - all of it would immediately disappear if there were a sudden imminent threat of being bombed by another country
I have two go-to's when I need to show evidence of this >the entire opening of Fight Club through the apartment blast >literally everything modern woman complain about on Twitter - gender identity and feminism
It's true. This is why children who are born into wealthy families and are given everything still can't be happy and always want more. Humans have a bottomless pit inside of them that cannot be filled. We just THINK that it's because of our circumstances but in reality it's just our nature.
>I have a pet theory that humans are never "meant" to be at peace
this is also why women will invent pointless stupid drama during a stable relationship, for their own amusement
I’ve read humans weren’t actually that murderous until the Mesolithic (Stone Age) because there was basically no reason to kill people. When tribes came across each other they’d typically just merge and eventually split off.
is not that we aren't meant to be at "peace". we as a whole are not educated to understand satisfaction in simple pleasures.
satisfaction or being at "peace" as never been the real focus of upbringing in most human societies.
the opposite on the other hand as always been a staple when educating children.
this makes more sense, explains why men in their 40s just want to frick off to the country and live quietly
this is still true though
>I have a pet theory that humans are never "meant" to be at peace
this is also why women will invent pointless stupid drama during a stable relationship, for their own amusement
you could look at it like, its better to be prepared than not, better to think and be mentally ready for conflict than be caught off guard when it comes

>We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact.
said by an A-list celebrity who got paid millions to star in this movie. you really have to be one total moron to take this movie seriously lmao
>movie gods
I always wonder why he didn’t just say famous actors, maybe they thought it was too on the nose. But then movie gods is so stupid it sticks out just as much
Seeing the rapidly approaching decline of the country was really shocking at the time
You were born in shit. We had to watch the country go to shit.
Remember when picrel came out (1993) only people in California, NYC, and parts of Texas even understood it.
I didn't even understand there were spanish speaking people in the country or why the main character would be upset at fast food workers.
This but unironically
You don't know what it's like to have smiling, friendly, teenage white kids chatting with you even at a McDonald's checkout. It's like being given water when you didn't even know you were dying of thirst until you sip it. It's a taste of white society and suddenly you realize, with utter shock and despair, how far things have fallen
You heard it here first: someday conventional wisdom will hold that Generation X never really existed; the older Xers were functionally the late runt Boomers and had identical sensibilities, and the younger Xers were the leading edge Millenials.
THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE POINTS THIS OUT. HE COMPLAINS TO THE DOCTOR THAT HE IS SUFFERING AND THE DOCTOR SAYS "GIVE ME A FRICKING BREAK, GO LOOK AT THE CANCER DUDES, THAT'S REAL SUFFERING"
Everyone is fricked in one way or another.
Boomers lived through all the factories getting shipped off to China and Mexico.
Gen X lived through the unstable boom and bust economy of the early digital age.
Millennials ate shit with the 08 crash.
Zoomers have today's mess.
Poverty rate has been stable since the 60s. No generation has ever lived in a world of plenty.
I’d watch a reality show in which all these office drones had to work in retail or foodservice. Or outdoor labor on a 90 degree day. Then see how soul crushing and horrible their jobs are.
We've already been though this multiple times in this thread you stupid frick and jf you want to get technical, the narrators job included working in the field as well.
Yeah our boomer parents who were scared shitless of financial instability due to their silent gen parents telling them exaggerated horror stories about the Great Depression drilled it into us to go to college and get a nice, comfy, high paying office job while they continued to hoard assets. Well it turned out to be not so comfy, not so high paying and not so nice to realize that you'd been duped into slaving away to pay taxes and make a corporation richer, while having abandoned all your personal dreams. The majority were fine with the arrangement but there were quite a few of us who felt like we were conned into being a white collar workforce.
i have a stable, somewhat-high-paying engineering job that I didn't really expect to get
And yeah, it's really kind of boring but I keep reminding myself how much it pays and it will allow me to live like a mountain hermit like I always wanted someday
>post 2000 kids talking to anyone about stability
how are your meds? do you rattle when you walk down stairs?
70s are when the pills started being given to children
90s were the peak at least the pills they gave you then fricked you up instead of just making you a fat moron
So tell me again how your 38 have a mediocre career and an ugly wife.

is this the fabled zoomer rage from the stories?
The very existence of other generations makes zoomers piss and shit themselves.
That’s the point moron. Nothing is stable anymore.
>Nooooo life should be like my Chinese cartoons! I should be worshipped everywhere I go even though I'm average looking with no talent! I don't wanna work!
Why did millenials resonate with this message so much? Get a grip and check your privilege. If you live in the west you have it better than 99% of prior human existence
Because the world fell between that time and your time. You can't relate to a spiritual struggle because your struggle is for food and shelter.
yeah man it's Mad Max outside my door. dumb doomerism
You think it's normal because you don't know any different.
>Wanting to have a basic social life is the same thing as insisting everyone should bow to you
You're just gay and moronic, there's no use in discussing anything with you.
you are you quoting?
>Nooooo life should be like my Chinese cartoons! I should be worshipped everywhere I go even though I'm average looking with no talent! I don't wanna work!
Yes? Or at least I want to work for something that's actually valuable and where I'm valued.

The point is that stability and a certain kind of material prosperity (the yin yang coffee table, etc.) isn't enough.
do people really post Cinemaphile style threads on twitter now?

No they make twitter style posts on Cinemaphile.

say it aint so years of Cinemaphileners can't be wrong
how many Cinemaphileners do you think actually work a trade?
I assume all of the ones vouching for trade school. So most of Cinemaphile.

this is the correct take, no one is having that good of a time
That's why they call it work
maybe do both, so you can appreciate what you have?
carpentry is fricking awful
never do it unless as a hobby on the weekend
I don't mind doing electrical work overall. I left doing security for it, sometimes I miss it but overall I'm happier for it. Guess it depends on the person.
I'm happy for, anon. The general disdain zoomers have for tradesmen and others who do manual labour is disgusting.
If it's not for them then I wouldn't try to make them. Then you'd just have more guys getting killed out there. To each their own.
>If it's not for them then I wouldn't try to make them
I agree but they hate them for choosing that path or for even existing.
GenX and Millennials were really just turbo boomers without the wealth. Spoiled rotten little shits who cared about their own excitement above all else.
New generations always blaming the old ones. Almost as if by design. I get this feeling we should all be pointing fingers at a very specific group of people instead of at each other.
In our defense, we were heavily marketed to from the day we were born.
We literally didn't know how else to be.
Zoomer or Boomer because only those two gens are this fricking clueless
Zoomers are literally subhuman. No one likes them.
how were they "spoiled rotten" of they didn't have "the wealth"?

tell this to slavs who are currently being blown up to pieces by drones in ukr
People need a purpose. Simple
He was depressed because although he was materially successful his spiritual life was piss poor. He had no purpose, no friends, no community no love, no hobbies, no bigger dreams beyond the next promotion. Just work and home. He was an empty worker drone bug-man.
Based Gen Xer trapped in the paradox of despondency and material plenty.
his apartment was kinda shitty considering his job.
>A stable job and high pay is all I need to feel happy and that my life has a purpose and is meaningful.
Hey moron, the stability and high pay is what enables you to indulge in hobbies and activities that make life meaningful.
I'm to lazy to write something. I'm gonna search what i said the last time this same thread was posted
Are shitposts just directly copy pasted from here to X now?
other way around I'm afraid
>We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact.

It was a book first, fren.
you mean the book written by the gay guy about his experiences in gay sex clubs
yah that one
So, not the
>A-list celebrity who got paid millions to star in this movie
then
ESL moment
>movie gods
I always wonder why he didn’t just say famous actors, maybe they thought it was too on the nose. But then movie gods is so stupid it sticks out just as much
and u must be really low iq to think anti fight club is only movie with anti consumerist message

Fight Club, like 300 was always for low IQ homosexuals.
Only a homosexual would hate 300
Does your daddy frick you, sneedlet?
Gen X have somehow manipulated public perception. They are by far the biggest bitter whiners out of anyone but everyone forgets they exist.
You heard it here first: someday conventional wisdom will hold that Generation X never really existed; the older Xers were functionally the late runt Boomers and had identical sensibilities, and the younger Xers were the leading edge Millenials.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Reminder op is too stupid to understand fight club or 300
Gen X were so spoiled they complained about their own success
Your ignorant interpretation has already been discredited in this thread.
Everyone is fricked in one way or another.
Boomers lived through all the factories getting shipped off to China and Mexico.
Gen X lived through the unstable boom and bust economy of the early digital age.

>Millennials ate shit with the 08 crash.
And 9/11 and covid. At least the older ones
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. C’mon kid that’s day one stuff.
Yes, a very lazy people, simply refused to pick their own damn cotton, now here we all are, rubbing shoulders and singing kumbaya
Only 40% of Gen X men were living in a household with their own children by 2003 according to Pew Research. Doesn't sound too stable, does it?
For millennial men today, that figure is even lower: 30%.
Trumpgays vote against their own economic interests
neets and manual labor homosexual will literally never understand this
You missed the point entirety you dumb frick.
??? elaborate smart frick
It's not about white collar workers vs blue collar workers. They all recognised their spiritually hollow existence.
It was a different time.
It really happens
>I HAVE TO COOK IN A WONDERFUL KITCHEN AS A CAREER

what little sleep he got wasn't giving him any rest because his alter ego took over during that time
that's why he was fricked up
The reddit cucks and zoomers always overlook that he was doing a bunch of service jobs as well.

checked, based xoomer teaching us how it really was.
>realize that you'd been duped into slaving away to pay taxes and make a corporation richer
in 1900, 50% of people were self-employed
in 1977, 7% were
right now it's 10.4%
yeah, they were farmers for the most part. if you wanna make frick all digging away at the dirt, you too can be self employed, right now!
i like how gen x have gotten no nu nickname and we either call them gen x or just call them boomers.
Why would they need rebranding? And only homosexual zoomers call everyone older than them boomers.
>Why would they need rebranding
cuz its funny.
>need
Fricking MISERABLE display.
It's funny because it highlights their irrelevance. Nobody cares enough about them to even give them a silly name while funposting.
i have a stable, somewhat-high-paying engineering job that I didn't really expect to get
