I've half a theory it's a new boomer generation and these things are cyclical, you get a boomer one every third. 70 years back from 20 years old today you find the Boomers. 70 years back from Millennials you find the dirty 30s. 70 back from the eighties you find the flappers.

... Doesn't that include every generation, calculated that way?

I'm skeptical it's generational. People just chill out in that way as they age. And not to say the geezers are totally nice either, they just don't do active dick measuring anymore. They know who's in the club, and that I'm not, and will throw me a bone out of good manners anyway.

Idk man. The young ones today are self centered and narcissistic as hell.
