The 2000s fucking sucked (hexbear.net)

Growing up in the 2000s fucked my brain hard. The sexism, homophobia and racism coupled with the free-range parenting that was simultaneously neglectful while gaslighting everyone into thinking that it was too coddling, and an internet that simply did not give a fuck who it traumatized. All topped off with a resurgence of Western jingoism from the "war in terror".

The only good thing about that period was some of the videogames were okay I guess but only if you avoid ANYTHING remotely military flavoured. A lot of shit outside of Nintendo was afraid of colour and everything was that washed out brown. Just a miserable time. Everyone was so uncreative and the world had some fucked up Southpark brainworms.

My most listened albums this year are American Idiot, The Black Parade, and The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

I've ripped off the opening riff a couple times by speeding it way up

Such a good song, and then the music video makes no sense and has nothing to do with the music. The music is an antiwar song, the music video is nothing like that.
