There is a narrative that goes: “things were not actually better when you were younger, it was just better because you were young.”

This is a ridiculous narrative.

Firstly, my life was not better when I was young. It’s much better now. So that does not work on me.

“Things” in a general sense, however, were much better when I was younger.

You did not have child trannies when I was a boy. There were many fewer immigrants. You did not have mass internet censorship. You didn’t have cellphone addiction. People were not nearly as fat. The food was better. Buildings were nicer. Films were not all comic book CGI trash. And you could go on forever. These are objective measures. Things were simply better, generally. It’s a factual matter.

I remember when it was illegal to be gay. I remember the movement to legalize it, which was a big boomer cause, because they said “it’s none of the government’s business what people do in their own bedrooms.” That is the way boomers think: everything is some kind of mantra, really a slogan. “A woman has a right to choose,” “I just think they should come here legally,” “we fight there over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.” Everything is an advertisement. Their political, cultural, and religious beliefs are the result of  mass-marketing campaigns.

When I was born, it was illegal to be gay, and now at middle age, we are looking at a situation where it will soon be illegal to be normal. There are in fact many ways in which heterosexual male sexuality has already been outlawed, as a result of feminist and homosexual marketing campaigns which the boomers could not resist.

It’s not just millennials that had it better when they were young. The boomers had it better than their millennial children. At the time, the Silent Generation parents of the boomers were talking about how things were better when they were young, before all of the sex and drugs.

But I think that’s as far back as it goes. Before that, in the early 1900s, people expected that their children would have a better life than they did.

Things are not necessarily destined to keep getting worse and worse until the entire universe is just sadistic homosexual child mutilation festival. Things could get better, just like they got worse. There is no reason to lose hope.

The elections are fake and everything is gay and retarded, but nothing lasts forever.

Just hang in there, friends.

We’re going to make it through this.

Chin up.

I wanted to make a mix tape for Princess Nasim Sabz.

This is what I made for her.

RIP Nasime.

This world didn’t deserve you.

Some people live forever.

And you are one of those.

This is one of the early “this is science, goyim” media presentations on “born to be fat.”

This is now taken for granted. Like “women born with a penis by accident.”

If you do drugs heavily, you’re going to die young. It’s pretty well certain (unless you have the constitution of Johnny Cash, which only like one in fifty million people have).

But no one deserves to die in Minnesota.

Rolling Stone:

Scott Weiland, the instantly recognizable voice behind Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver who was known for his dynamic stage presence, has died. He was 48. Weiland’s manager confirmed the news to Rolling Stone, but did not report a cause of death.

Weiland passed away in his sleep on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, according to an official Instagram post. In addition to sharing the news of his death, it read, “At this time we ask that the privacy of Scott’s family be respected.”

TMZ reported that Weiland was found dead on his tour bus in Minnesota at around 9 p.m. Thursday night while touring with his current group the Wildabouts. The group was scheduled to perform at the Medina Entertainment Center in Medina, Minnesota Thursday night.

Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro announced the news of Weiland’s passing in a since-deleted tweet shortly after midnight EST. “Just learned our friend Scott Weiland has died,” he wrote. “So gutted, I am thinking of his family tonight.”

Weiland’s Velvet Revolver bandmate, guitarist Dave Kushner, tweeted shortly after Navarro “RIP Scott Weiland.”

Weiland was born Scott Richard Kline on October 27th, 1967 in San Jose, California. His mother, Sharon Williams, and father, Kent Kline, divorced two years later. His stepfather, Dave Weiland, adopted him at age five. He moved with his family to Ohio for a number of years and returned to California with his family when he was 14.

He formed his first band at age 16 and, in the late Eighties, STP’s lineup came together with Dean DeLeo on guitar, his brother Robert on bass and drummer Eric Kretz, who performed under the name Mighty Joe Young. They changed their name to Stone Temple Pilots before the release of their 1992 debut, Core. Success came quickly to the San Diego band upon its release.

As 90s rock goes, STP was no Nirvana. And no Pearl Jam, for that matter. And, eh, no Sound Garden, actually…

But at least they were better than the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That was a horrible band.

Not exactly the height of Western culture, the 90s.

Still, being in my early teens in the late 90s, I remember these songs fondly.
