If that happened today it would have been on youtube in an instant and had 8 million views within the hour.
Youth today know better. They preoccupy their boredom with healthy hobbies like eating laundry pods and throwing farm parties.
The farm parties I went to growing up we're literally parties on a farm. I have a feeling Crown's definition is much, much different.
Yep... my experiences via my farming relatives involved being put on a horse to take you back home when you passed out. If you were lucky, you were put on the right horse.
I thought you meant pharm parties where people just throw all sorts of random pills in a bowl and just take them.
Farm Party: when several teen idiots collectively raid their parents medicine cabinets, throw all findings in one bowl, and then randomly take turns downing the shit to “see what it does”. They spell it Farm instead of “Pharm” to keep in code. Smart stuff, huh? For parties in the country? We always called rural parties “Bush Bashes” or “Corn Cob Hob-Knobs”.
I have to say, I always find it funny when the older generations rag on the younger generations for being so stupid. Yeah, they eat tide pods, but I've yet to hear about any millenials following a cult leader to South America and drinking poisoned kool aid. Even we're not *that* stupid.
The bomber made a 25 minute "confession" of his crimes. He said he made 7 devices and the police are reporting all 7 have been found. "Interim Austin police Chief Brian Manley described the recording as a confession and said Conditt did not mention hate on the recording. "It is the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his life that led him to this point," the interim chief said."
That's because millennials have the attention span of a flea and are constantly chasing the next best thing. Following a charismatic nut job to South America takes months if not years of focus and dedication.
Well that, and there was nothing else to do... except drinking, music, and drugs. And cars. No internet... no real TV... no cell phones... no Netflix... we were bored out of our skulls. That meant that when something new and shiny showed up, it didn't have to be all that new or shiny in order to attract attention.
...which explains things like neon leg warmers as a fashion statement or how “Where’s the Beef?!?!” was funny. However millennials have no way of logically telling you why Planking was popular. Everything has been done, so society regressed back into being lame.
I've had that same feeling since the 90s ended. We reached the cultural mountaintop, and there was nowhere left to climb. So now we waltz back to base camp to get the old feeling back, but we know it's artificial.
Or their hobbies aren't as dangerous, their cars aren't as fast, their trophies as meaningful. Really did a fucking number on them, didn't we?
