What are some things that younger generations eventually just won't understand?


For example, when will kids not realize why nobody likes them when they're 23? Are there people on here who don't realize why no one will like them when they're 23?

I still have something similar to that at my work. It's the (currently) best way of telling quickly who is in the building, in case of a fire, etc..

kids will never understand that trying to act older doesn't make you cool, no one likes you when you're 13,14,15,16,17,18. 23 is usually a decent year. but later generations may never understand the integrity of meeting up at a certain time and place because life existed before iphones. my own generation doesn't get that.

I am willing to bet most people on NS have no idea what it used to be like before cell phones and internet. Crazy to think that we used to function that way...

She wasn't wearing underwear at least I prayed that
He took the seat off his own bike because the way it felt
It's Labor day and my grandpa just ate seven fuckin' hotdogs
This house is haunted, it's so pathetic, it makes no sense at all

Princess Leia, where are you tonight?
I'll never talk to you again unless your mom will touch my cock
Sometimes it makes me want to laugh
Sometimes I want to take my toaster in the bath

Forgive our neighbor Bob I think he humped the dog
Unless your dad will suck me off
Corporate leaders, politicians,
Kids can't vote, adults elect them

Crossed the street, naked at night
U'll be sorry when I'm gone
No noise, just silence, as I screamed, my dick was jammed
Teenage rules they're fucked and boring


cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd, and twat :)

My favourite memory of things past has got to be renting movies.

The whole family would hop in the car and then scour the movie store for an eternity in search of "the perfect one". Then upon check out we'd even get a thing or two of microwave pop corn so we didn't have to make it over the stove in an old pressure cooker.

Those were magical times, this whole thread kinda makes me reminiscently sad. I'm only 18 so I barely caught the end of what seemed like the last golden era but being the youngest I inherited artifacts and tastes that my older siblings developed during the 80's and 90's. Things were so different then. I will never forget trying to dial up or watching the weezer music video that came with the windows 95 owners cd. Sorry if I got a little soft there.

Yup, RIP Blockbuster.

Sat down to a movie with the GF and kids the other night after making popcorn in one of these bitches from like the 70's.



They looked at it like it was a spaceship.

Also that dial up clip up there was like music to my ears. The feeling that caused when heard as a young teen in the 90's is indescribable.

I remember being so confused when the first iPod came out. It made no sense to me. All I thought was "but just make a mix cd for your Walkman?" Haha.

Also Nintendo 64. Which is pretty much always be my favorite gaming console. Super Smash Bros was my jam.

To be honest hunting is kind of harder than I remembered and my people are not doing so well.
