i like writing things to troll boomers. i love boomers. some of my favorite parents and aunts and uncles are boomers. but some sick gen x thing inside me makes me want to write about how all the cultural icons they love are meaningless. its not even like i strongly believe it.
this is the most republican-type feeling i have. i could prob launch an entire site with this energy and attract nothing but hate clicks and retire from it.
Scientific proof that the Beatles were absolutely horrible
Woodstock was actually very poorly attended
Who is Elvis?
its like trolling the libs when you know your target will get spitting mad, and you just throw your head back and laugh at how angry they get because you threw a tomato at the church of john, paul, ringo, and george.
join my new media venture, the beatles are bad dot com
also make sure she doesnt see this but when my aunt came to visit she kept listening to doo-wop music and that stuff is actually bad. theres one or two ok songs but a bunch of them in a row? ye gods. i dont like classical but id listen to hours of that over some falsetto guy.
i also like to think about an alternate history where gen x was as big as the boomers and we controlled all the media and we would just go on and on about how the height of all culture was eric b and rakim or something.
this is the real crux of my boomer beef: they have size and media dominance and that came to create the idea that the the music they loved in high school is the best music ever created.
im gonna do that with the biggest hit of my time in high school:

i love indiana jones but i would really love if this installment addressed the fact ford is so old. "let's use a rascal to escape the nazis." "i cant read this inscription on the tomb unless i wear my bifocals"
cause in force awakens they mostly pretended han solo was just as han solo-y as he was in 1977
the point of most of murdochs "news" organizations isnt to make money but to exert political power so the rest of his empire can make money. he does it in the us w fox/ny post, in uk w the sun and times etc.
this is a famous front page from the uk sun after they switched from conservative to labour to support tony blair and then he won the election in 92
in a way, to me, murdoch is kind of like limbaugh in that if he saw a path to power in left-leaning politics, his media empire would reflect that. its just that right-wing politics is more amenable to deregulation and mergers which benefit the murdoch pocket.
is marsha blackburn trying to sell the infrastructure bill?
the next phase of this will be
$700 BILLION TOWARDS PUPPIES
$700 BILLION TOWARDS KITTIES
$800 BILLION TO PANDAS AND OTHER CUTE ANIMALS
$300 BILLION FOR 20 MORE MARVEL MOVIES (INC XMEN)
$900 BILLION FOR COMFORTABLE SHOES
$1 TRILLION FOR REALLY SOFT COMFORTERS, LIKE GOOSE DOWN
and then the left will hit biden for not allocating a total of $2 trillion to puppies and kittens and he'll compromise to a "hard cap of $1.8 trillion for doggos and kitty cats"
