Nostalgia is bittersweet & I love it as much as anyone but the bigger picture is this: capitalism grows like a weed or a vampire & every generation had freedom without cameras like that until gen-Xers, who were the last, which is why it feels like such magic now even tho then it was just life & being outside
I’m a millennial. I remember a time without cameras everywhere. I also grew up in the poorest part of WV and I’ve seen my own childhood home in like 10 documentaries on poverty so…
I agree for the most part, but as an early millennial, we had that freedom too. Society didn’t truly go crazy until some time after 2000 in my opinion. I turned 16 that year.
I have repeatedly felt like taking some emery cloth to my neighbors ring door bell camera, which records me when ever I am in my front yard. There is an expense to replacing cameras and they seem like easy targets, if you go about it right.

I really don’t know what you mean haha.
“Wow, look how the peasants endure, so brave ♥️❣️❣️♥️❣️ now let’s get some Starbucks” vs “Goddamn there’s a lot of rats in this meth lab.”
Both of these make my stomach turn.

I’m still poor. I don’t care though. I’m rich where it counts.
I have a gorgeous wife that loves me and kids who love me and can’t stand to be away from me.
I have 50 bucks in my bank account and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

Early to mid mollenial here with the same experience. It all went downhill when Facebook and flip phones with cameras came out ie. around 2006.
