I'd like to go back to Fortnite for a second.

"Kids all talk about Fortnite and Tiktok the way we used to talk about 90s tech. Leave it alone."

We don't even need to go that far back for an analogue. When Pokemon Go came out, it was basically the Summer of Love for millennials. For all that game's foibles, it truly did make for an outstanding monoculture moment. But while the PoGo players were getting fresh air and making friends at the Pokestop hotspots, there was a vocal contingent of older folks shaking their collective fist at the whole thing. These degenerates are obsessed with a kids' game! They're gonna walk into traffic! We wanted young people to go outside, but not like THIS!

Pokemon Go fans laughed these miserable SOBs off, and rightfully so. But then, starting one year later, the millennial crowd that stood their ground with PoGo pulled the exact same judgmental BS with the Fortnite crowd. No self-awareness whatsoever - they just straight up grabbed the "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD" torch and ran with it.

Man, that was some depressing shit.

On an unrelated note, seeing my quote in the OP put a shit-eating grin on my face. That was a great day to be here.
