what if the past weren't so great.

what if all this predominantly feigned nostalgia, 90s/80s reminiscence plastered all over tumblr and whatever. Instagram, etc. What if in this long-gone paradise, people were just as unsatisfied with their lives and society as they supposedly do now? What if people commonly thought "dangit the 70s were sooo much better #nostalgia #johntravoltaftw" while listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam while conversing over bricks while Buffy the Vampire Slayer plays in the background on their 20 inch tv?
what if, twenty years from now, people will whine that they wished these youngsters would appreciate Nicki Minaj and all the other classics from the 2010s in between dropping their kids off in the hydroplane car and consulting their paper-thin iPhone 26's.

or are we the only ungrateful ones
