Why do people not make serious music anymore? Everything these days is ironic...

Is his point that complaining about "wrong generation" people is way more obnoxious than the wrong generation kids themselves? Cause that's what I'm getting from this.

This is absolutely not a more genuine place, just because there aren't upboats here doesn't mean there isn't a pressure at work, to be more edgy and negative and nihilistic and apathetic and oh so ironic. Don't be deluded into thinking that Yas Forums is any closer to reality than reddit.

It's definitely still removed from reality. That's what I meant when I said I wouldn't have called this place genuine way back when. But the pressures are kept in line by the structure. Things are just more open because there are no repercussions. If this place is 2-3 steps away from reality, reddit (or instagram, or tik-tok, whatever) are both more removed, and have the added downside of impacting reality because there is a record or connection to what happens online (people remember you, like you, follow you, etc). Because Yas Forums is removed from that level it can be extreme, but the extremity doesn't have the same context.

i bet this guy is like 27 and thinks hes wisened and above it all

Not OP, but you're close. Not above it all, just flinging shit from a different angle.
