I wonder if (assuming things get better) future generations would be like “I hate this boring and lifeless AI art that we have today, I wish I was born in the 2010s!” Or will the shit show that has been going for the last few years be so vivid that they would be happy not to have been born now.

Kinda like how it can be fun to imagine being born as a boomer and working casually while living luxuriously, but not so much to imagine being born in 1920s and going through WWII as a soldier

Or maybe they will also yearn to be boomers lol

    Nobody has ever claimed that every gen x owned a home. There have always been people who can and people who cannot afford a home, but each generation has more people in the can’t-afford group than the previous. At 30, more genx owned a home than millennials, and more millennials than genz.

    The problem you’re having is that everyone else is talking trends and you’re talking personal annecdote.

        Wow, what the fuck. I have honestly no idea what about my username or post history could have made you so hostile. The last sentence you’re complaining about is literally a tldr of the rest of the comment; everyone’s talking trends between generations and you’re dismissing that (and complaining about entire subsequent generations) based entirely on one person’s individual experience.
