I admit I couldn't list anything Henry Rollins has done off the top of my head but looking him up I am familiar with some of his work.

I just assumed that after being lumped in with Courtney Love he must be a terrible human being.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
the fail visuals of the millenial Scooby Doo makes me think they'll screw up the audio as well. you just know they are going to stop using the classic grunt from Tim "The Toolman" Taylor for the "new and improved" Scooby Doo (thats what they did; the classic Scooby sound: http://www.hark.com/clips/nkjgjfqpxm-scoobys-aaaarug + classic TTTT sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnsiZOJjfUg )and instead have millenial Scooby Do Say bull crap like "i apologize on behalf of all men / i'm ashamed of being white" more like Scooby Don't

Technically part of the Beat generation, but w/e they don't get enough love on account of the Greatest Generation overshadowing them.

Now that we've had a refresher on what originality and talent looks like, we can get back to making fun of manchildren.

Your "terrible yet somehow better than literally every Millenial ever" insight was exactly the point, yes.

if millennials had any balls at all, they would flock to a banner of "eat the rich" and storm the castles of the fat capitalists who ruined the world. to the extent that billionaires would refuse to leave their homes lest a mob of disaffected hipster retards descend upon the rich in their limousines and armani suits, and drink the marrow of the .1%,

Gotta have middle class jobs to have a middle class. The checks and balances that have allowed fewer people to get more power has diminished substantially over the past 35 years. The only time things change in the US is if the bottom falls out of something and even if, just maybe. Millennial's are sitting on tons of student debt that they'll never be able to repay back especially without the kind of income their degrees were meant for.
Automation will whittle down the white collar jobs that there was of any hope of doing that.

So, no hope, etc. What's the end result here? People have to somehow continue to exist even without gainful employment.

I think it's gay when people try to talk about this being a War Generation even though it doesn't affect any one in the USA whatsoever besides USAA or Wounded Warrior commercials outside of like, actual service members

Gonna drag this up from a few pages ago because the vast majority of the ~greatest generation~ didn't fight or even enlist so frankly gently caress them for trying to bask in the glory.

Also the US should probably fix its ongoing 'my dad didn't love me I am not worthy!!!' neurosis because it's been passed down for like 3 generations now. Including one that was somehow proud of losing the Vietnam war.

I think the term also applies to civilians from that time because for the most part their lives basically revolved around supplying the army so your country could win throughout most of the war years. If you weren't fighting you were toiling away 7 days a week making poo poo or mining things or picking through every scrap of waste to recover what you could.

Could you imagine what todays narcissistic, self absorbed fuckwits would do if they couldn't pig out on garbage for their Instagram accounts or buy a new phone every 8 months because those resources were needed to fight some psycho hell bent on gassing everyone to death?
