Back In My Day, Things Were More Cynical

Posted on 13:14 by hony
This is just the kind of epic nonsense that makes me use profanities on my blog.

I will say this directly to Mat Honan: if you can bitch about the recession that occurred when you graduated while simultaneously telling someone else not to bitch about the recession that is occuring when they graduate, you are a hypocritical asshole. Oh, and while you are trumpeting all your insanely awesome Gen X innovations like Google and Twitter (because a whole generation of people gets credit for the work of three people) let me point out that you are writing this on your tumblr (which was founded by a Millennial). Maybe we Millennials should also get credit for Groupon, Facebook, reddit, 4chan...I mean really do we want to have this fight? I don't think we do. Oh, and while you were perfecting all of musicdom you also produced this. I'll happily give credit where it is due for that.

Honestly, more of a response than this is beneath me.
