A subreddit called r/lewronggeneration. If you’re wondering who this sub is, they’re a group of people who think if you wish you were born in another decade you’re a horrible person. They also think if you criticize anything about the current generation/decade you’re a bad person. They take screenshots of comments on YouTube videos, tweets, etc of people saying they wish they were born in previous decades, people criticizing modern popular music, people criticizing smartphone addiction etc and ridicule these people.
For those who are confused by reading this, let me elaborate. A few years ago, there was an extreme stigma on the internet against saying you were born in the wrong generation. I think the stigma still is widespread on the internet today too. If you said you were born in the wrong generation, people on the internet would literally torment you. I was confused as hell. I didn’t get why saying such a thing would upset people on the internet so much. But people who claim to be born in the wrong generation (AKA wrong generationers) were NOT always hated on the internet. I searched many many forums from the 2000s and early 2010s to see when the internet’s hatred towards these people began. I found that nobody in the internet started to hate on wrong generationers until about 2012. The online stigma against them started to exist a little in 2011 or 2012 (i’d say maybe 2012) but it became extremely widespread in 2013 and was the most widespread in 2015/2016. I think today it’s still widespread. Before like 2012, nobody on the internet cared if you claimed to be born in the wrong generation. On pre-2012 forums/threads, I noticed some people said they were born in the wrong generation and nobody got mad at them at all. Also the lewronggeneration sub wasn’t created until 2013. Suddenly nostalgia towards previous decades was viewed as a evil thing on the internet. I think this explains why the 90s kids nostalgia trend disappeared in the second half of the 2010s.
I wish I was born in like 1983/1984 or something so I could be a high school teen in the late 90s/early 2000s. When I saw how hated people like me were online, I felt like an outcast online. And I would go on lewronggeneration everyday and view what they say. because of them, my OCD got significantly worse and fucked my life up in my freshman year of college and the OCD is much better but I still haven’t fully recovered from it. I didn’t get to have a normal college experience. And in 2015/2016 SEVERAL anti-wrong generation videos and anti-nostalgia videos were uploaded on YouTube and buzzfeed and whatnot including videos by Anthony Fantano, collegehumor, and that overrated aussiericecel Filthy Frank.
I got afraid of talking about the cause of my OCD problems with my therapist and didn’t tell anyone about it because of fear they would judge me, although then I realized nobody offline would care if I told them I wish I was alive in the late 90s/early 2000s only people online would bother me for it.
like I said, before like 2012, nobody online cared if you said you were born in the wrong generation.
idk if this thread is gonna end up on lewronggeneration and I won’t be checking if it does because that sub is too much ragefuel for me now, but people on lewronggeneration if you’re reading this, all I can say is you’re lucky you’ll never meet me irl. I’d have a strong urge to violently beat you in wii sports boxing (I don’t mean to sound like a wannabe tough guy).
now when someone condemns wrong generationers, I feel this intense and violent aggression and anger inside of me like I wanna violently beat them in gta v.
