re: What does Woodstock 99 say about late-Gen X/early-millennial?

for the record millennials is considered those that graduated in the new millenial so class of 2000. I am a 2nd year millenial(2001 grad, 82 birth) and I dont know of any millennials that went to woodstock 99. that was a Gen X thing that was essentially made up of Gen Xers who never got over the grunge movement.

Just like portland and seatle people didnt represent the rest of the country during grunge, hippies at woodstock didnt represent the rest of the country in the 60s and woodstock 99 didnt represent genx of the 90s.

doesnt really say shite about anything except liberals in the NW and NE dont represent the rest of the country, no matter the generation.

not gonna lie though, some good music came from grunge and woodstock99

Stay on topic

I was born on 1975 so I am solidly Gen X.

In 1999, I was kicking in doors in Serbia and Kosova.

Yeah, that's bullshite. I'm Gen X and hate everything about Nu Metal. My brother was born in 82 and he and all of his friends in high school were all about Limp Bizkit and those other shitty bands.

Very little music that is worth a shite has been released in the last 25+ years.

True. The biggest mistake we have ever made. From a 67-year-old man

After watching the 3 part doc, the biggest thing I came away with was that’s a culmination of what happens when a generation of nihilistic hippies raise kids.

I believe it showed a generation of people that had been brought up in such luxury, spoiled their entire lives, that they just do not give a frick about anything. I think it drove home Dostoyevsky’s point on utopia.

Mostly what happens when soft baby boomers try and raise kids based on what they wanted their childhood to be.

What happened to the other Woodstock thread where they had the still shot of Limp Bizkit and the crowd? Did anyone throw out a time stamp when something good was shown in the hour long video?
