paraphrase: "i wish i grew up in the 80s; when it was more calm. our generation is fucked up. adults want to be teens, teens want to be adults."
i tried to broaden his perspective with that "there were only a few sources of media back then and all you see are the good things. today you have unlimited amount of media sources. it was fucked up back then, too...you ever seen those memes with a girl wishing she could go back in time when men dressed like MEN? women & people of color were treated like shit back then...you sure you wanna go back just because people didn't sag their pants?"
i never thought that way when i was younger...i mean i knew a "cool adult" when i saw one but it wasn't like it is today...right?
