This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Let's take a look...

  • The example picture for dressing "modestly" (what is it, the 1800s? is he scared because some absolute whore has dared to show her ankle?) shows a woman in a long, wool jacket, boots, thick-looking leggins... probably sensible clothing for cold-ish weather. Also, the thickest eye liner since queen Cleopatra.
  • Gentrification doesn't fix anything, it just displaces
  • Every person I know married and had kids: eeeeeh.... as someone who grew up in that time, no, not really, plenty of people didn't, sounds like confirmation bias
  • Music was about joy? Man, I remember listening to the most vulgar political rap with my friends at the end of high school, also, wasn't there a big phase of metalcore and electro-metal stuff around that time?
  • The drug epidemic is scarcely the result of music and fashion
  • I don't know jack about art, tbh

Music was about joy?

In fairness, I'm not sure those genres are "hipster". Though Death Cab for Cutie is and most of their songs are depressing.
