I cannot prove this is real, but I have been assured it is.

Hey, Anons. Pop culture windows last maybe 10-20 years at most. No one will know who Nirvana is in 5082. Get off your high-horse and share what you love instead of gatekeeping.

Ridiculing someone for trying to gatekeep something isn’t gatekeeping you spanner.

I think you missed the point of this post, my friend. Try again.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit huh

Idk I posted this separately and it did fine. All I am saying is it is dumb to care about who wears what shirt. Even if the shirt has mispellings. But go on, feel strong and big.

You’re still failing to comprehend my first response to you.

Go back and read it carefully and look at the original post. At least try to comprehend comments before responding to them.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

If you're implying he's not then you and I are about to have fisticuffs. His comedy is timeless in an innocent sort of way and his dramas are surprisingly good. Critics don't seem to like him for the most part but I don't think anyone likes them so who cares.

I'm with you on the drama, but after Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore, there was a major downhill slope with his comedies and once he got to Netflix, it was off a cliff.

I'm not necessarily saying they are all on the same level but rather that they all, or at least all I've seen, capture that same late 90s or early 2000s vibe pretty well. Whether or not that vibe still appeals to you is a different story.

Sounds like that means you haven't seen the many horrible movies he's made since then.

What's an example or two? I certainly haven't seen them all but I've seen a fair amount of the ones I know about.

Pixels would be the first one that comes to mind.

To give you a general idea of what is thought about it-

Interesting. Yeah I never heard of that movie so you may be correct.

timeless

Are we talking about the same Adam Sandler? Maybe I'm just too old, but none of the 90s movies of his I loved growing up hold up at all imo.

I think that has more to do with you maturing than the movies aging poorly. When I say timeless I mean they all depict a specific cultural perspective very well. It's not as common as it once was but it certainly still exists.

Just so you know, the woman being mocked in this screencap is a bigot that uses her platform to incite threats of violence against children’s hospitals and schools for supporting LGBT youth. If anything she needs to be more gatekept.

I've just seen multiple posts about t-shirts recently. Apparently its a big deal you know your shirt lore? I dont know this person. I just find the concept and associated offense kind of weird. Especially with the multiple posts about fucken band shirts.

The shirt thing is completely incidental, people were dunking on her because she’s a bigot. I know what you mean about people getting a stick up their ass about band shirts, though.

Generally, if you're wearing a shirt with logos or words in it you better understand what it is.

Hurrian Hymn No. 6 is older than that (1400BCE, so 3400 years in the past vs 3060 in the future) and composers were doing covers in 2009.

There are 3000 year old Greek depictions of Lyre players and we know of famous musicians that won competitions from 2500 years ago.

Don't be so sure no one will know.

Yeah I know people with quote tattoos from the inventor of lyric poetry in the Greek tradition

And here we are 30 years after Cobains death discussing his band.

We are, is Gen Z? Probably not that much. As evidenced by the fucken large amount of recent t shirt posts.

Gen Z is 29, so either I’m the youngest person here or yes.

Thats not even true. 29 year olds are millenials. I was born in 1994. I am 29.

Me too, but someone whose 29th birthday is today is gen z. We’re the youngest millennials by birth year.

Lost generations are still a thing. Even with the instant gratification of the internet.

In fact, a few theories posit that the internet may actually be widening the gaps again.
