Why is (nearly) everything nowadays shit?!

[FolkLikePanda]

Bands that class them selves as rock when they are too namby pamby and queer to be it, films that make vampires look like faggots, a justice system that lets murderers get away with murder, people being absolute tossers, the world leaders bickering over fictional warming of the globe and countries making nuclear warheads to show a sign of defence and the general atmosphere of living today just feels so shit! SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME BEFORE I HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN! BLARG! =-)

EDIT: THIS IS MY OPINION! And if you disagree please explain your opinion

Familiarity breeds contempt, no matter what decade you live in you'll be able to find things you don't like about it. Nostalgia means looking back and forgetting the bad things, that's why everything before seems better.

(Although the state of modern music is an absolute shambles).

 

[Generator]

I don't know, but I like how you start out ranting about things like falsely-labeled rock music and then quickly devolve into serious issues with modern day society.

OT: As far as I'm concerned, it's best to not pay attention to global matters, as they often leave you feeling very depressed and there's not much you can do about it. As for the pop culture stuff you mentioned, making jokes always seems to help.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

I think you'll be fine, now stop being a huge dork and classifying those bands as rock if it actually mattered to you, you would know what they are and call them it not whine about them being called rock.

If one country had nuclear weapons it would be a world dictatorship every country needs them to keep the balance of power on the western shift, if countries like Korea and such managed to get ahold of some and we in the west didn't have means of defence, we would be screwed to put it simply and no it wouldn't be like fallout... We would be slaved under some bulls--t eastern regime.

Stop whining and thinking about things that are no real effect to you, be ignorant... or just sheltered.

 

[KarumaK]

Because everything, everywhere always sucks during it's time.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Because your standards changed.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Because as you grow up, you begin to realize that many thing sin the world constantly remind you just how crappy life can be. When you actually start paying attention to this stuff and understanding it, it's easy to think that everything sucks. Of course then you get used to it and start to appreciate the good things in life more.

At least that's what happened to me. I'd hate to still be stuck in my "everything sucks" phase of life.

 

[SnipErlite]

Because people suck.

Woo for life.....

 

[Vigilantis]

Why has the internet allowed teengers to whine about everything they dont understand? WHY?!?!?!

/sarcasm./cranky old man rant.

Loved it, this sums up the thread nicely.

 

[Snotnarok]

This is proved further by Aliens and Preditor having amazing movies but now they're trying to revisit them and they SUCK. AvP was shit on a cracker, AvP:R was worse things on a cookie. The game wasn't even that great compared to the originals from what I gathered.

 

[ThatsBitch3n]

Why do you whine so much?

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Yeeeah, that is pretty much everything...

Hey look, my sarcasm still works! I guess it's not all bad...

Agreed.

Quit whining and come back when you have something better to discuss

 

[Pimppeter2]

Well at least you still have Zoidberg.

We all have Zoidberg.

 

[ethaninja]

Excactly! These are the things I've been whining about for ages. Glad to know that other people are thinking about them too. Take a look at Short (Shit) Stack. How they manage to become popular by dressing like a bunch of tools and looking like women is beyond me.

This is why I stick with classic rock. It never lets me down (mainly because it's awesome!!)
And yeah, I prefer Buffy over any vampire based ANYTHING these days. And the system is just a joke.

/sarcasm./cranky old man rant.

Even 5-year-olds don't class 26-year-olds as "old men"

OT: Considering at least one of those things defies the evidence, I'd say your opinion's wrong (yes, that IS possible).

Stop whining, stop using homophobic language. Get over it.

1 - the "rock" bands:
who cares what type of music it is? You either like the song or don't.

2,3,4 - they're all to do with the creeping advance of the left, the diminishing right and the increasing feminisation of society and increasing marginalisation of men. now anyone who does anything wrong has to be shown that society cares instead of just getting what they need ie. a good hiding.

5 -anthropogenic global warming:
its an excuse to raise taxes

6 - nuclear warheads:
if you're refering to the countries I think you are it's so the govt of those countries have something to make them seem powerful to their populace, helping them retain control. They'd lose power if the populace figured out that the govt is actually as weak as sh*t.


Hope that helps answer your questions. If you want more detail or further discussion it'll have to wait til tomoz evening - its 22:30 and I've got work in the morning.

My opinion is that your 'opinion' is made up of nothing of yours at all but rather an amalgam of whatever the hell you've been reading on the internet/in Nuts magazine, and your overuse of synonyms for homosexuals in a negative context just makes you sound like a jackass.

If these rock bands aren't to your liking then don't follow them, don't watch films if you don't like how they're presented, actually learn the justice system before condemning it, sort yourself out before calling other people tossers, and if life makes you unhappy then stop whining and go do something to make yourself happy rather than lazily bitching about it to people who really don't care about you or your problems in the slightest.

Now I'll be leaving this thread as I'm quite sure it's worthless so feel free to post whatever you want about me, I won't be reading it so I don't care.

Short answer: everything always sucked just as much as it does now, you just didn't notice it before.

Because as you grow up, you begin to realize that many thing sin the world constantly remind you just how crappy life can be. When you actually start paying attention to this stuff and understanding it, it's easy to think that everything sucks. Of course then you get used to it and start to appreciate the good things in life more.

At least that's what happened to me. I'd hate to still be stuck in my "everything sucks" phase of life.

Also, his profile says he's 15~16. His cynicism hormones probably kicked in, and he hasn't figured out how to take off the crap-tinted glasses yet.
