Rosy retrospection is a fool's errand. Every generation thinks the next generation is a bunch of useless trash.
True.
For example, the same people that trash millennials 24/7 are the ones responsible for keeping Harley Davidson alive well past it’s prime just so they could cosplay as a bunch of guys who sew edgy patches on their leather vests and stab other guys who sew different edgy patches on their leather vests for meth territory.
They also gave us hippies and Hanoi Jane.
(For the record, I have nothing against Harley Davidson lol.)
