This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really about generations, it's more about manners, anyone blasting shit around people who never asked for anything deserve a kick in the groin. Bonus kicks for people ruining the calm in a natural landscape.
Agreed. Every generation is chock full of idiots, just basic math. Two generations ago this would have been an idiot blasting his boombox on the bus.
38 years later...
But this post explicitly defines the situation in terms of their generation not their attitude, separating the two changes the context and my response was to the context.
If it's not about generations then why is a specific generation mentioned in the post, title, and pretty much half of the comments?
Also, natural landscape? This is on a bus
This post is an excuse to get mad at a stereotype of young people.
Yeah, the people saying it's "not about the generation" are coping because they don't want to admit it's tribalism.
This post didn't have to mention the generation and most certainly did not have to put it in framing that perported it was the reason they behaved like that.
People in these comments don't understand how close they are to the "millennials are the problem with x posts"
My neighbours are ALWAYS listening to really loud Drum and Bass
Love it
I am 18 any almost all my friends consume this type of media at a rapid pace. This is not really an -old people hate youngsters thing, what these consumers are dou g is simply not okay (specifically the unreasonably loud tiktoks, without headphones obv)
Exactly. At the end of the day, a haircut, or fashion, or what you like to do on the bus is super unimportant. Manners and common decency are timeless. Too bad that parents aren't really teaching those values as frequently these days.
I’m pretty sure that, in my grandfathers days of the 1950’s, long hair was frowned upon. This stuff has been happening since the dawn of man.
