the coquette urge to journal, to buy a typewriter, to listen to CDs and records, to send letters, to talk on the landline, to use a flip phone, and to just disconnect from the bullshit of the modern world ~~

not to be "i was born in the wrong generation" on main, but i was born in wrong everything ngl.
im trans, so wrong body. thats strike one.
im therian, so again wrong body but also wrong setting, theres strike two.
im autistic and very strongly believe i shouldve been born as the one farm boy that everyone is sure is was taken by a fae and replaced with a changeling, but i never caused real trouble and i work good out in the farm and i help out around the village, so they might as well keep me around. and thats a big fat strike three.
so not to be born in the wrong generation, but genuinely wth am i doing in an afab human body in the middle of suburbia hell

Life would be so much better if we went back to the hunter gatherer era. Imagine if instead of being glued to my phone drooling over fictional men i was foraging for berries to keep my young fed while my husband threw spears at boars. That would be so much more serene i feel.

Any other neurodiverse ppl live their teenhood in the wrong era, I’m genuinely curious—
I don’t mean in a “Ugh I grew up in the wrong era” kind of way (which is valid) I mean legit “I like this decade, I live here now”

Mfs always saying “I was born in the wrong era” well I sure wasn’t. I kinda like LOVE my phone and the internet and making digital art and being able to just sit and read without impending doom or disease. I was born in JUST the right era. I have plenty of memories of when life was simpler, before the extreme influx of social media usage AND I have all the modern niceties. I remember roller skating to 90s-2000s tunes without a care and I also have video games. I have the best of both worlds! I have the past I can always look back on should I need to, and I can do that using modern technology as well. I can read history, I can google a fact within thirty seconds, I can play old music. I was born in just the right era

I need to vent, sorry
long post incoming :)
Yeah, I feel that I was born in the wrong generation
And no, I don't think I'm special or anything for saying that.
Like, do people think I want to feel like an outcast whenever I'm around a group of people that are the same age as me? Because I'd trade my interests and niches any day if it meant I could finally feel what it's like to have a group of friends by my side, or a partner holding my hand.
And yes, I do have many criticisms about certain aspects of modern technology and social media, but I don't downright hate it or dismiss the good that came from modern technology/the Internet entirely. If anything, I'd love to be born when the Internet was just starting to walk, when it wasn't as popular yet and when you were considered a nerd for even owning a computer. That'd be an amazing time to be alive, until "normies" (cant find a better word sorry I know it's cringe) started making the Internet more mainstream and later on it being the #1 reason why Americans are more stupid and self-centered then ever (in my personal opinion).
I'm more so disconnected with my generation because of the culture, not modern technology.. A generation where we believe in anything without doing any research or seeing different perspectives first, a generation that's easily brainwashed into believing anything, a generation that's so sure that their opinion is right that they'll even ruin someone else's life or ridicule them into oblivion just because the other person thinks differently. That's the reason why I feel like I don't belong with my generation, not because "ew social media".
Actually, that's not the whole reason why-
I also really just love the grunge/rock culture of the 90's, and the scene/emo culture of the early 2000's. It all felt like a community back then, like wherever you were at there'd be people accepting you with open arms, no matter who you were or what you looked like, ready to have you join their clique people that just liked the same shit as you do.
Nowadays, there doesn't even feel like a community anymore, even within your own culture. Everyone's divided, everyone's prejudice, and everyone can't put their differences aside and at least co-exist with each other. This "you're with me or against me" mentality is getting old real fast. Instead, let's have thoughtful and provoking conversations with each other, instead of being quick to go on social media and wishing ill to the white kid in your History class just because he wore a red hat that you happened to disagree with.
Idk, it's all just really silly.
I was just scrolling down watching YouTube when I saw a video calling people like me who think they're in the wrong generation "annoying" and I had to vent since it actually triggered me a bit, ngl, because just by looking at the thumbnail where they put a bunch of modern technologies and had "modern" in bold letters with the word being crossed out, I knew what points they were going to make, and I just needed to vent about how not everyone who feels like an outcast is trying so hard to be different.... It's 99% the complete opposite and I just always hated that stereotype from people who obviously have it way better in life, from people who clearly don't understand what it's like to be almost invisible even when you try so hard to be liked/seen to the point where you fantasize about a time you weren't even born in because "what if?".
Shit, I'm done, needed to get that off my chest and the only way I'd feel good about it is by posting it online. Scared to put tags on this because half of the criticisms about Gen Z that I wrote about relate to about 99% of Tumblr users, so I might piss someone off but fuck it, I want my voice to be heard and no one will probably care to read this anyway.
And yes, I know there's other teens/young adults out there like me, who has the same mindset as I do. I don't think that I'm the only special snowflake that feels this way, but it's so fucking hard finding someone who sees the world the same way as I do, that it does make me feel a bit like I am the only one.
Anyway,
Goodnight 🖤

is it just me or do you also wish to be born between 1972-74 so you can live your early to mid-teens in the ’80s and live your late teens and early adulthood in the ’90s? just me?
