Boomers built ARPANET, later called the internet based on Gopher, Kermit, Usenet, and such. Then, HTML came along in 1994. It wasn't earth shattering, just an easier way to format and navigate. It was this that gen-x took and used to create "the web".

Although it was boomers that created the transport protocols and text formatting code, it was gen-x that took that relic of the cold war and used it to literally change the world.

Gen-X here. Articles and "hot takes" like this are as old as time. They called my generation "slackers". Ok, I guess the rise of hip-hop, independent film, electronic music, and THE FUCKING INTERNET just happened magically. The called millennial's lazy hipsters, but it was those hipsters that almost single handedly gave us all better taste in...everything and made it acceptable to enjoy life and experiences instead of just stuff.

If Gen-Z wants to chill at home, fucking Let them! I enjoyed lock down. There, I said it. I didn't enjoy people dying, but for about a year most of us got to stay inside and only go out to enjoy being outside. Some bettered themselves. Many realized that they enjoyed staying in, playing roleplaying games with friends over Zoom, baking bread, reading, writing, making music, or simply watching old concerts from the comfort of their own couch. I certainly did. Fuck the haters.
