What's our generation's claim to fame?

[KingGheedora]

The 70's where the generation that was out to change the world, free love, etc. WWI era was The Lost Generation. I don't know any others in between.

What distinguishes people who are currently 24-34 years old, if anything?

That wasn't pervasive enough. I mean, something people in 2022, will look back on 1990's and early 2000's and immediately think of.

Raves, electronic dance music, and the resulting ecstacy craze definately fit in his timeline. Very late 80s to 90s.

Wasn't MDMA originally made as a weight loss pill?... it does that too.

I think a few generations from now, people may look back and just wonder wth was wrong with our era...

You'd think that after having witnessed the 20th century (or at least a part of it), we would be better than to perpetuate silly things like pointless wars, and genocides, but we're just getting more efficient at them


So ya, our generation: endless wars.
