Wow was this stupid


I just had to turn this off due to excess stupidity. Do you think they could possibly get any more stereotypes and clichés per minute?

u were obviously born in the late 90's early 2000's

Nope, in the 60s. Yet another stupid attempt at stereotyping that goes along with this.

reply

Not only that, but the over-playing the significance of many of the less significant events or attempting to give them additional meaning or make them more relevant.

Well, history is always a look back with some perspective of time. Like the Great Recession, it was important when it happened, but it was going on and people had to go on with their lives... like with 9/11 nobody on the second day thought "wow, this is an event that will define a decade or a generation etc.". It was just a very tragic act of terror. Some time passes and people make movies and TV shows and reflect on these things and myths are born. Like I imagine when Miami Vice first aired and that car scene with "In the Air Tonight" people perhaps said "I like that". They didn't say "wow, this is this decade in a nutshell, the colours, the excess, the Columbians who bring drugs into USA" etc.

So you will never really get a real sense of the time from nostalgia and hindsight fueled shows like these. All you'll get will be some moments that stuck in people's memories and their interpretation after some time has passed. 80s and 90s were defined after they had passed, 00s were defined as the "terrible decade" after they had passed and the same will be true for 10s...
