That’s great that you and your friends love it. That’s not what I said.

Yall don’t get it and appreciate it like Gen X’rs do.

You think this is only applicable to GenX? Why do you think a decent chunk of the millennial generation had to attach themselves to completely invented social causes like we’re still in the Jim Crowe days?

Nihilism is as rampant, if not more so, than it’s ever been.

You’re wrong and I never claimed it was my favorite. But it’s one of the best ever made.




You literally said it was the greatest movie ever made

For a generation that claims to subscribe to nihilism while also saying that millennials are snowflakes, y’all sure do like to feel special

Thread is dumb.


OP should'nt have assumed Millenias hated or didnt like/get the movie but I think its fair to say it was written by Gen X ers about our generation. What do you and your friends love about it?

That’s why I said they either hate it or just don’t get it. I wasn’t taking a shot at Millennials I was just making a statement

Some of them may like or love it but not for the reasons Gen X’rs do.

The millennials sure have gotten their feelings hurt by me making this thread.

Some dude even said he want to “frick my corpse”.

What the hell?

I mean this settles it

If you don't get why that guy would say that to you, then you simply don't get Fight Club
