    Lol.
    Uh no.

    This economy is going like the Great Depression.

    Maybe you are comfortable.

    But the mix of Covid terror, closures & economic collapse is way worse than the 60s.

    Millennials probably had it worse growing up & still do.

    When we were 10 the murder rate was twice as high as when were 10.

    Not Millennials faults so much as Gen X & Boomerz being savages.

    Most Boomers had 2 parent households where the mother took close super vision.

    Most Millennials had fcked up greedy Single or working households growing up.

    Sometimes even druggies because a lot of Boomers did drugs.


    We experienced 9/11 terror as kids.

    Now many pathogens are popping up like Covid 19, Swine Flu, Ebola .

    We make less at the same age as Boomers did & have more college debt despite an increase in productivity.

    Thank you for the testimony and being honest enough to admit you don't know what it was like in the 1960s.

    Similar with Disco.

    The Millennials produce a lot less lewd, crude music than late boomers & early Generation X had in the 90s rap scene.

    Even so. I'll admit no Mozart, Chet Baker, or Ray Manzarek yet.
    who gives a fuck? it's all trash.
    yes it lewd and it's drum machines and rapping -at least the rapping is original and came from street music/language.

    But you were attacking the boomers. Classic rock is the finest since the classicals music composers.
    We had singer/songwriters who played and arranged their own music with real musical instrument.

    Not all of it -but a damn fine catalogue from the Beatles to Warren Zevon

    Nope.
    The Beatles are as I stated the Silent GENERATION.

    Nope.
    Classic Rock is a lot easier to play than Metal

    Some of the hardest to play besides Classical music or Jazz are some extreme Death metal like bands like Behemoth or Nile are far harder to play than the Beatles..

    It's also hard to dig a hole all the way to china, on the other hand it also sucks ass. Give me a melody or at least interesting improvisation.

    Death metal may as well be a jackhammer and that guttural wtf noise vocalization. I can't imagine an artform sucking more.

    Like boomers can think. Often blaming Commies & Millennials for Mexican & Guatemalan day laborers being picked up by Boomer greedy Capitalists

    The greedy boomer Capitalist farmers, restaurants & contractors who hire illegals.

    I'll admit Zuckerbergs Facebook censorship is our fault.

    But, everything else YOUR GENERATION FCKED UP.

    PS.
    Covid-19 in 2020 is way way worse than Vietnam.

    Of course Boomers fcked up the response too.
    believe me globalization didn't just happen -outsourcing wasn't just a fad gone bad.

    After WWII the US was the only real economic superpower. When I was a kid for ex. back in the early 60's
    "Made in China" was paper or wooden products -maybe cast lead -but nothing manufactured.

    we re-built Europe and Japan. China got into the WTO
    It's impossible for one country to hold all the aces all the time

    Trump wanted to bring back manufacturing -and has been wildly successful .
    Under Trump the USA added 1/2 million manufacturing jobs (Obama lost 220k)

    i now hear calls to completely bring back medicine, (or whatever) but it can't be done - globalization was/is inevitable whether under Reagan ,Clinton or Trump.. "The World Is Flat" ( google it) -that is immutable
    I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted too
    I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you

    You obviously are comfortable.
    Probably have a pension.

    Meanwhile breadlines are forming & peopke can't pay rent.

    People can't go to bar restaurants
    Or
    Get toilet paper.

    People are walking around stores with masks on.


    But, but the 60s were worse.

    Nope.

    boomers aren't the only "greedy capitalists" -and "capitalists" don't hire day laborers,
    they run investment houses,or are stockbrokers. Small business owners use temps or day laborers

    You must be very young. Anyone who wants to make money isn't necessarily a "capitalist"
