Do you think there’s an equivalent queer age?

Music, fashion, and society in general peaked when I was twenty four to twenty seven years old and a hot young thing on the gay nightclub scene.

When I was 10-15, I lived in a transit accessible, inner suburb of DC and a Democratic president was super popular.

When I was 13, our school had some "don't do drugs" motivational speaker show up who told a whole auditorium full of 7th graders that THIS was the best time of our lives.
If that had been true, my god, how depressing that would have been.

That checks out over here. There 90’s were awesome for those of us cis straight white kids. Before Columbine. Even after, for a little while. I graduated in 99. It all seemed uphill until Trump was elected.

“The most reliable news reporting” is especially funny to me because I was that age during the run up to the Iraq war.

If you remember the 2000 election you need to make sure you’re getting enough fiber.

slothropsmap.bsky.social•69 days ago

Well that was uncalled for

It’s cool. American Idiot actually holds up.

I voted for the first time in the 2000 election. My favorite snack food is dried apricots. The fiber thing isn't an issue.

The half when I was 13 an in Peru was great. The half when I had to move to Texas and deal with middle schoolers was horrible.

When I was 10-15 Clinton was elected and I don’t know if I would rate this as peak except for animated children series

A specific type of heterosexual because you could not pay me nor pretty much anyone I know to be 13 again. A horrible time for most except for a fairly specific type of person

elmobronowski.bsky.social•69 days ago

Very much this. There are few people you'd want to meet as an adult who enjoyed being 13.

Middle school was the worst. I have no idea who these people are. I kinda feel sorry for them.
