My rant about this decade

[DevilKisses]

I don't hate everything about it, but there's a lot of stuff that's very annoying. I will probably cringe about this rant later on. I just want to get it out of my system. I hate how people define themselves by brands like Netflix. You don't watch movies or tv anymore, you watch Netflix. I literally asked someone what she likes to watch she said Netflix. She did mention it on her profile, but I gave her the benifit of the doubt. She really is a Netflix zombie she isn't just someone who can't think of how to fill out her profile or took some questions literally.

I also hate the sterile Pinterest/Instagram aesthetic. I don't use it right now, but when I was trying it out it ruined a lot of stuff. When I search up styles like punk or goth I saw the shitty Pinterest version of those styles. They didn't look like punks or goths. They just looked like generic models wearing costumes. Since everything on Pinterest looked shitty I just ended up pinning the stuff that looked less shitty. Guess I have to go back to using my brain for inspiration. Or just getting out of the house or watching movies.

I also hate those ridiculous eyebrows. They do look good on some people, but it looks ridiculous on most people. I kind of miss the disappearing eyebrows from ten years ago. I notice that people actually had defined cheekbones without having to use ridiculous contouring. I also hate beauty trends in general. Especially if it's a YouTube beauty guru. Luckily most people can't afford to wear makeup like that, so I can usually avoid looking at those girls.

One term I somewhat like is basic bitches or basic white girls. It describes something that I definitely notice. To me there's a difference between a basic person and a regular person. Most people are regular people, but only some are basic. They do have a list of stereotypes like going to Starbucks, wearing uggs or going on Pinterest. I believe they're more than their stereotypes. To me a basic person is an NT that is more NT than the rest. I used to call them boring people or super NTs. When you watch them in a video with a bunch of regular people you'll notice that they have different mannerisms than everyone else. Just watch a random video on YouTube with a large-ish group of people. You'll notice them for sure.

I also think modern cars are kind of ugly and all look the same. Interior design also looks very dull to me. Fashion is okay for me because there's a lot of local shops that aren't defined by fads. It's not that I wish I lived in the past. I just can't wait until a better decade.

The biggest problem today is that people spend way too much time online.

I have problems with the "throwaway society" thing. People are more likely to throw away, say, an entire vacuum cleaner rather than fix it if it has multiple problems. And actually the components are worth more than the thing itself, meaning that if you were to take it apart and sell each part you'd make money. So you save money by throwing the damn thing away. But it's incredibly wasteful and that pisses me off. Things now are built to not last a day over their warranty. And everything's built on cost, not on quality. This is what I hate about this decade and I hope it begins to change with the next one.

See, I just plain miss the 80s or even the 90s.

....and I'm not nearly old enough that I should be missing either. I was born in '81.

Which should say something about what I think of THIS decade...

[OOM]

I miss the 70s lol. As for TV I don't have regular TV I only have Netflix, Amazon and now I have hulu. I owe an old cable bill. I'll get it when we get the money in March.
