wish life felt like malcolm in the middle again

every color more saturated, boxy gaming consoles, older brothers in basements, water park crushes, Beck, bagel bites, skinned knees, warm suburbia

man oh man, I remember seeing a meme that said something about how the genre of white people in Malcom in the Middle (middle class, normal American people) simply no longer exist. And it’s the saddest thing tbh.

@Casuallyonline

bilalbikile why do you think it no longer exists??

@bilalbikile

Casuallyonline I’m sure they do! But they’re just not highlighted the same in media maybe. It’s like that vibe as you’ve described it has dissipated from everyone’s conscience. having been replaced with something far more complex and overbearing that the average person struggles to connect to.

i miss the 2010s

things were easier (because i was a kid) but it seemed so simple. where are all the frozen yogurt restaurants? why don’t people have cds anymore? bring back limewire and online chat blogs and weird websites and silly graphic t-shirts and chunky sneakers and twee and hipster styles. i miss collegehumor and buzzfeed. but i bring the nostalgia for myself back every day by dressing like i stepped out of a rhett and link music video and listening to modest mouse and metric and the yeah yeah yeahs. i love my digital camera and my dvds and volunteering at my university radio station.

pre-covid and recession vibes

look at how happy we all were here. everything was so bright and colorful. vibe was summer constantly. LA was in. brockhampton sounded amazing. something very different about this era. now we just have “indie sleaze”

BRAIN ROT WILL END?

short form video content is destroying our brains, collectively. It won’t always be this way, though. we are lost in the sauce. there needs to be a revolution. something that brings it to a head to end. It’s really bad guys

Empire records

a movie that was not fully realized but became a cult classic because of it. Favorite moments: Corey being a “speed addict“ but there was legit one clip of her popping a vague looking white pill Rex 😂😂😂 straight outta 1969 the multiple screaming matches that seem to arise out of basically nowhere the amount of “band of susans” posters around the record shop? The production designer must’ve run out of options.
