I as a Gen-Zer mourn the "old internet" of the 2010s. I agree and feel like nostalgia is kind of a lie.

In my own generation for example, I've seen a transition from "no good music has come out since 2000, we missed the GB/N64 era of gaming" to deep nostalgia for PS3/Xbox and Linkin Park era metal as the golden era.

I've heard people describe this phenomenon in basically two ways:

- It's all relative to your teenage years, which splits up generations as a result.

- The past is another country.

The good news is: taste and disgust are also learned. So anyone can pick up and move to another worldview, if they're willing to do new things.
