wish my life was like a 90’s movie where all my friends work in record stores and bookshops and coffee shops and we see really cool bands in small little clubs and get breakfast together and like hang out on roofs and shit
Not to be that guy on this post but whenever I see it it stresses me out. I know it’s supposed to be a fun aesthetic but there’s a reason things are not like that anymore. There are no record stores left in my town. There are no bookstores left in my town. There is one terrible gentrified cafe in my town. There is no where for the cool little bands to perform in my town. There are no more cool little clubs in my town. Hell we don’t even have a bowling alley anymore. All of these things got bought up and knocked down and replaced with a Dunkin’ donuts or some garbage and now we all just stay indoors instead of hanging out on rooftops. Capitalism took these things from us. We’re not just romanticizing the ‘90s, we’re romanticizing life before social media and COVID and the current stage of hyper capitalism we find ourselves in.
Experts also have said that it’s unhealthy to have inconsistent sleep schedules, and to sleep under 8 hours consistently. Then we go ahead and subscribe to grind culture like it’s something valiant and glorified, when it’s really just foolish and weakens your resolve to fight against it because you’re too fucking exhausted.
