It happens when guys in their 30s hear a Van Halen album like 1984 for the first time. I read the comments section in youtube postings of Van Halen songs and read this sentiment a lot.When did this kind mentality start? Why is it so relevant with people in their early 30s? TIA
But not VietnamNot just 30 year olds, but nearly EVERY kid upon discovering The Doors, Jimi, etc, will say something stupid like this, wishing they were around for Woodstock.
I was born in 73. It wasnt that glamorous. Of course I grew up in the middle of nowhere in NW Minnesota.I'm 31. If I would of been born in 1973 I would have been able to do some good blow in the 80's, and then hit it big during the tech boom once I started to grow up!
Under 10 is not the ideal age to be doing black beauties and blow off of a dancer's belly button so ...I was born in 73. It wasnt that glamorous.

ever get a wedgie in school or whip someones ### with a towel after taking a prison type shower after gym?Things were barbaric in the good old days. I feel like I went to school in a gladiater campWhen did this kind mentality start? Why is it so relevant with people in their early 30s? TIA
Finding a playboy was .Yea I like all the old music but Im cool with this era of technology.
I agree. Kids these days have no idea how hard it was.Finding a playboy was .Yea I like all the old music but Im cool with this era of technology.
Yeah i think this is what they meant. My grandfather and uncle both were firemen for the LAFD and they both retired rich with fat pensions before their 54th birthday. I tried to get hired on my local FD. They had 3 openings and 4,000+ applicants.I think some of these comments are related to the perceived ease of earning the American Dream (being able to get a good paying factory-type job without a college education) and these same baby boomers chewing up all the social security.
Are you a milkman? How's that working out?Yeah i think this is what they meant. My grandfather and uncle both were firemen for the LAFD and they both retired rich with fat pensions before their 54th birthday. I tried to get hired on my local FD. They had 3 openings and 4,000+ applicants. It's definitely harder now. I still have a good job but my pension is going to be half of what theirs was and I'm going to have to work nearly 15 years longer than they did.I think some of these comments are related to the perceived ease of earning the American Dream (being able to get a good paying factory-type job without a college education) and these same baby boomers chewing up all the social security.
Seriously something has to give. This free market trickle down BS is a hustle.

This is the thing. The economy isn't coming back until the middle class comes back. The top 20% of earners can't carry the American economy. Wages need to go up and profit margins, CEO pay, and corporate elite pay need to go down.
Kids these days all think they're winners and being kind to each other is more important than hard work. "Why can't we get along?" Screw that. You take the kind mentality, I'll take the winning mentality. Greed is good.When did this kind mentality start? Why is it so relevant with people in their early 30s? TIA
If all Americans have the opportunity to own stock and profit margins allow companies to pay dividends, why would you take money away from Grandma's investments?I'm joking man. I'm not a milkman.

You're crazy. I was born in 1973. I played video games in the 80s and rode a skateboard on a halfpipe while listening to punk and hating on the crap music of the times.I'm 31. If I would of been born in 1973 I would have been able to do some good blow in the 80's, and then hit it big during the tech boom once I started to grow up!
How about a compromise? Everybody is paid a living wage or above and there are cost of living wages every year that coincide with inflation. Then just flat tax everybody 10%. EZ game.And corporations need to start paying taxes. I really wish this country would totally redo the tax code.I'm joking man. I'm not a milkman.

I think it was Paul Kantner who said, "anybody who says they had a good time at Woodstock obviously wasn't there."Not just 30 year olds, but nearly EVERY kid upon discovering The Doors, Jimi, etc, will say something stupid like this, wishing they were around for Woodstock.
Man, the '90s were a fantastic time to be alive and in one's 20s. I'm not sure I would pick any other era to have been that age.I say it. Not because of music though.
I was born in 77. Too young to have been able to experience the wild party scene of the 80s. Too old and married to enjoy the hookup/tinder easy sex culture of kids in their 20s right now.
The grass is always greener on the other side.I say it. Not because of music though.

I enjoyed partying in the late 90's and early 2000's when people weren't addicted to their cell phones and every moment of your life wasn't being captured on social media and photographed by every person who has a camera/video recorder in their pocket.I say it. Not because of music though.

Stupid Cobain.
I guess, looking at this, I could see how some people would feel that way. Probably 30%+ of my friend group got laid off during the recession (many in architecture/design). They all found new jobs and are employed (all soon after), but I could see that making some people bitter. But, I don't at all fee early 30s is the "entitled" group. That is not at all the case, if anything, the recession only made them understand resilience and perseverance. My age doesn't really fall into any standard "generation" but we keep getting lumped into the younger one.xulf said:I'm 33 and have never heard this from any of my friends.
