No doubt but i feel it's different with many younger people, it's more central to who they feel they are for many of them whereas for old fucks it's how they confirm who they already are. It's a different thing, to me at least.
I see it in my daughter and her friends all the time, she just turned 26. She pretty much lives on social media, we've been trying to get her to see it. I think the kids younger than millennials have a much better handle on it than the millennials do, a much more skeptical take on it, although my son (24 and just barely not-a-millenial by the common definition) was over for dinner last night (neither of them live in the house) and he was complaining about his own friends' absorption in social media, saying that they just retreat into it instead of dealing with the world, that they lack passion because they just fade off into snapchat or instagram or whatever when things get rocky instead of fighting back or even thinking about it.
He's a passionate kid and he wants to change things but he can't even find many people his own age who care. He bailed from fb several years ago, nuked his insta a while back and recently got rid of snapchat so he's atypical for sure. Last night he said he's decided to quit smoking weed too, after smoking basically every day since high school. So yeah I dunno. I wouldn't take such a radical step myself that's for sure.
These kids today, I tells ya.

I am really impressed at how quickly the millenials went from woke spewing about virtue to selling the fuck out. They definitely outdid in the boomers in that, and for that the deserve a participation trophy. Because, unlike the boomers, they missed out on the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll all they got was a lousy facebook post or twelve and some tumblr pr0n.

re: athletes: It's all nutrition and training anyways. Take the players now and put them back then, they'd be like those guys. Take those guys from back then and put them in the present they'd be like the guys now. Humanity hasn't evolved significantly in ~50 years.
I know a guy who grew up in Pittsfield Mass., and he would only buy shoes in the winter because Mark Belanger (Orioles SS, 8x gold gloves, all star, 18years in MLB) worked in the shoe store all winter and he idolized Belanger. You think pro athletes sell shoes in the off season now? No they train.

Edwin Moses is a great example. The guy who finally broke his 400 meter hurdle world record, Kevin Young, did it in 1992 (and was born in 1966). No one has touched it since. In fact I think that if you look at who has the world records in track, the majority are NOT millennials.

There's a perfectly valid explanation for that: there's no money to be made or fame to be achieved by setting a new world record in the 400m hurdles. Why destroy you body by age 35 through gratuitous training and PED use if you can't retire by the time you're 40?
Gotta build a personal brand or land a sweet sponsorship. Long jump isn't gonna get ya there.
Fuck me, I wish most of my peers had never been born. Humanity is just top to bottom, side to side reprehensible.

I went into a MWC rabbit hole finding those pics. God dam that show was funny but everyone is too sensitive now. I even started my own No Maam club in high school, shirts and all. Christ, couldn’t even imagine All in The Family on the social warriors today.
We are moving backwards as a society.
