Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

i love how a lot of my generation and gen Z agrees that day sent us down the bad time line

The Dress was the last good day on the internet.

I don't get the gorilla reference, but I remember the dress. In fact, it came up in conversation just the other day ...


As an aside, I introduced my 17-year-old to Scott Pilgrim vs the World the other day. Still one of my all-time favorite movies. This time it got me thinking, and I went and looked up the ages of the main cast. As I suspected, most of them were born in the 80s like me ... Scott Pilgrim is very much a Millennial movie, and that may be why it resonates so much with me. Luckily, my Gen Z daughter enjoyed it too.



p.s. I am an Elder Millennial - one of those sometimes called an Xennial. I'm old enough to remember when we were still known as Gen Y, which is why the next generation is Gen Z.

Ooooh, yes! I remember that. Was that really the beginning of the end for the internet?

I saw a lot of gross racism as "funny" memes associated with it, so I'd say yeah.

I still say it's all due to David Bowie dying.

The timeline checks out.

 

[pukunui]

I dunno. Wasn't Bowie more or less a recluse for the last few years of his life?

It's Bowie and Prince dying. They were taking all the Weirdness into themselves instead of allowing it to run loose in the timeline.

I thought it was when a walking spray tan was elected president.
