40 Cringy Posts Of People “Blinded By Their Own Nostalgia”, As Shared On This Online Community
Nostalgia is a strange creature. It always ties you to a sentimental longing for the seemingly better times when people were nicer, life was easier, and the world simply didn't stink. And let’s be real, nothing brings back happy memories more than an old mixtape. Or a childhood snack. Or a garment that is somehow back in style. These things hold a special place in our sentiment-addled hearts and make us believe everything back in the day was great, wasn't it?
Well, some people get way, way stuck in the past. They yearn for bygone days, decry modern culture, complain about virtually everything, and create countless posts and memes about being left out and misunderstood. And then rightfully get shamed for it online.
Here’s where the 'Le Wrong Generation' subreddit comes in. With the tagline "pray for kanye", this forum is the perfect place to satirically mock those who declare that the past was for sure better than the present. We at Bored Panda have gathered some of the most entertaining posts from the group to share with you right below. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy laughing through this wild rollercoaster of a ride. Be sure to upvote your favorite pics, and let us know if you’ve ever stumbled upon anything like this in the comments!

Only 2000 BC Boomers Will Remember
Mario Strada 3 years ago
Cicero wrote more than an essay about how much he despised the young generations in Rome. Nothing profound either, he complained about haircuts, dress, manner of speech. Basically the same things people complain about their young generation today. It's quite weird. We are talking ancient Rome, but Cicero disapproved of haircuts.

Wish We Could Go Back

When I was growing up, we had an ultimate safe word (call?) in kids' fights - "ej, nie w szczepionkę!". It meant that one should be careful not to hit the other kid on the shoulder vaccine injection spot. Now that I think about it, I am really curious what the code was where you grew up, fellow pandas? Anything similar?

You can't even perform manual labor doing something that is irrelevant because we destroyed the housing market and you don't own a lawn.

Poor Millennials
Emma S 3 years ago (edited)
It really annoys me when people say millennials are offended by everything and are too soft. No, we've realised that good mental health and having boundaries is important, and that bigotry towards people for skin colour, religion, gender and sexuality isn't ok. If a millennial is being called lazy for refusing to work 70 hours a week for a barely living wage, or if a gay person is offended by being called a homophobic slur then they aren't the ones that need to look at their values or attitudes. I'm a student nurse and can't tell you how many 'old school' nurses complain how today's students moan too much. Easy to say when their generation were being paid a living wage to train and didn't have to pay extortionate tuition fees. Side note- the guy in the photo is clearly from the millennial generation.

Pretty Sure Most People Know Both
Emma S 3 years ago
In the UK almost all cars are manual. We can decide when learning to drive to do automatic or manual but if you choose automatic you aren't allowed to drive manual, and if you choose manual you can drive both. So most people still choose manual. Including this millennial right here 💪

Ben Shapiro Is A 13 Year Old In A 12 Year Old's Body
Mario Strada 3 years ago (edited)
Ben Shapiro is an a$$hole. I remember an interview where he said "Rap is not music". I am a musician, not very good but classically trained. I also don't like rap that much at all, but I guarant-effing-tell-you that Rap is music. Ben is just a racist. EDIT: I also remember when old people said that The Beatles weren't "real music", so there.

That's... not exactly true. Yes, you can access all the things you miss BUT often you've to have money to get them and who has money nowadays? Also, there are some things like i.e. cooking methods/ingredients, ways of life which aren't accessible any longer as parts of the knowledge about them are forgotten.

I love how new generations fight for gender diversity, mental health, climate action, etc. I have trouble understanding why agism, i.e. trashing all people based on when they were born, is ok though.

Seriously!! Every generation had positives and negatives. Times change, some good changes, some not so good.

Stop glamorizing the past. Stop deciding there was a "golden age". The only golden ages were for those who had all the gold.
