Just lol if you think I don't listen to this daily

Idgaf what anybody says life was infinitely better before smartphones

I do. I miss it dearly



you'll never be 15 and in love
lying on the grass on a warm summer night, watching the stars, carelessly chatting
not worrying about rent, bills, student loans
only worry in life is how you're gonna cheat on that history test on monday
you'll never take a young, tight, hot-bodied girls virginity, pulling out to cum all over her back and have her look in your eyes and say "I love you"
you'll never have a girl around every day after school, pretend to be doing homework together, but instead just **** like rabbits
you're in your 20's now
gotta get a good job
gotta be a serious man now
all the good ones are taken
maybe a nice girl will eventually settle with you
they have already felt all those new exciting feelings before, and are usually jaded and bitter
you missed what it feels like to have not a care in the world other than making your girl happy
you have missed out on teenage love

What is there to hope for anymore man? Late 90s/early 2000s humanity had to much to look forward to now its dudes competing in womens sports by straping on a pair of fake tits.

I wrote something similar here recently, although about the time before what you're describing, so let me raise you:

The year is 1997. The month is July. The long hazy, lazy days of summer are officially in full swing. It seems like an eternity ago that you were sitting in that classroom in mid-June, gazing longingly out that window at the summer landscapes beyond, and dreaming of your impending summer vacation.
You wake up on the later side of the morning. No more need for mom to wake you up, no need for alarm clocks now. As you slowly open your eyes, still heavy with sleep, you can hear the sound of birds chirping outside your window, as rays of sunlight gently filter through the cracks in your blinds. Outside your closed bedroom door, you hear the distance rumbling of the old air conditioner in your parents’ bedroom window. If it’s on this early, that definitely means she’ll be a hot one out today.
You stumble to the kitchen still wearing your PJ’s from your favorite cartoon, which happens to be Rugrats at this point in time. The TV is on in the den and your mom is standing in the kitchen. She smiles at you and says good morning. She tells you she’s making your favorite breakfast and to go watch TV until it’s ready. You grab the glass of milk your mom offers you and sit in front of the TV in your favorite sofa chair. You flip the channels until something catches your eye. Great, re-runs of Power Rangers. You haven’t seen that show “in years.” You were such a little kid when that show premiered. It might be fun to revel in the nostalgia a bit.
Later in the morning you venture out on the back porch with your swim trunks and towel. Time to hit the pool for a bit. You feel the refreshing coolness of the water as you cannonball in it without even testing its temperature. You’re young and fearless, you don’t need to check. The world is simple, you’re innocent, nothing bad will ever happen. No consequences. Your mom calls you in for lunch. Looks like she’s made hotdogs on the BBQ again – definitely one of your favorite summer lunches.
In the early afternoon, you throw on your shorts and a T-shirt. You tell your mom you’re going to bike over to the video store to rent some games. She approaches you with the sunscreen. You groan but you let her apply it to your cheeks and nose. She hands you the bottle and tells you to not forget your arms, legs, and neck. The sun is really hot out today. You do as she says.
You throw on your baseball cap and grab your bike from the shed. As you bike down your quiet suburban street, you see a couple of kids playing in a front yard, a couple loading a car for what looks like a camping trip, a father mowing the lawn. The sounds of summer and smell of freshly cut grass overtake your senses. You feel happiness. You arrive at the video store and you leave your bike on the curb. No need to lock it up, nobody would ever think of stealing it. Plus, you can keep an eye on it from inside the store at all times. You say hi to the clerk and head over to the video game section immediately. Just this year your parents finally caved and got you an N64 for Christmas. You don’t own many games, but you have just as much fun renting them. You notice that the deal of ‘3 games, 3 days, 3 dollars” is still on. You stand in the air- conditioned store, the smell of stale popcorn and the newest release blaring in the background TV overcoming your senses once again. You finally make a decision and bring the 3 games you selected to the counter. The lanky teenager looks at one of them, rated M for Mature. 17+. He
looks you up and down, cracks a small smile, and asks if your parents are ok with you renting this. You say, "absolutely!" He asks for your 3 bucks. You add a bag of candy to your order and pay.
You’re biking home now, the plastic bag containing your prized new possessions dangling from the handlebars of your bike. You’re already thinking of how great it will be to shut the blinds in your living room and play these new exciting games in the comfort of your cool air-conditioned house all afternoon. Even better, your mom told you that she’s making your favorite dinner as soon as your dad comes home from work later. This seems like it’ll be another perfect summer day. You wonder what tomorrow will hold.

in b4 tl;dr
90s brah - this might resonate.

The 90's were the best time to be young. They weren't corny or innocent though. We were just a bunch of people genuinely enjoying each other's company with good music and without all the distractions of social media. And I looked like Pamela Anderson. I was blessed.
