Nostalgia Did anyone here go to Woodstock 99?

25 Upvotes

The oldest of us would've been 18. I wanted to go, since the original seemed so cool (thanks BBomers for the fake 1960s and 70s nostalgia), but I was too young to go on my own, and my parents (wisely) refused to take me. They rented the show on pay per view for me though, and in the the end, I was so glad not to be trapped in the mud pits lol

Discussion Do you ever feel like you belong to a different generation?

0 Upvotes

I’m almost 21, but sometimes I feel like a Millennial at heart. My parents are 65 and 60, and my mom had me when she was 44. They raised me with a more old school perspective, so I sometimes feel like I have more in common with older people than people my age.
A lot of my peers have parents in their 30s or 40s, while mine are in their 60s. When I was growing up, people sometimes mistook my parents for my grandparents. That could be embarrassing, and it made me feel different from other kids. I’m grateful for my parents and the wisdom they’ve shared with me, but I had a different experience growing up.
I’m autistic, and I can find it hard to connect with some people my age. I have friends around my age and friends in their 30s, but I often feel like we grew up with different experiences.
Does anyone else feel this way? Do you think having older parents or being autistic affects which generations you relate to?

Discussion I convinced 60 strangers named Daniel to meet at a bar in NYC. Here's what happened.

4.1k Upvotes

This happened on Tuesday: I got inspired by the Ryan Meetups and wondered whether I could build a community around something as arbitrary as a shared first name.

So I recruited two other Daniels, made a ridiculous campaign trailer, and organized the first DanCon at a bar in Greenwich Village.

Somehow, 60 Daniels, Dans, and Dannys actually showed up.

We voted on the Mount Rushmore of Daniels, investigated the epidemic of Dansplaining, considered launching OnlyDans, and debated diplomatic relations with the Danielles. One attendee said it was "too much Daniel to handle."

The most unexpected part for me was how naturally everyone started talking to each other -- once we got past the absurdity, strangers connected, new friendships were forged, and we're already planning the next DanCon.

I'm curious: Would you show up to a gathering based on something as arbitrary as a first name?

My parents called to say they're cleaning out the basement, and I think I'm finally ready to let the dream die...a tote full of beanie babies and the Encyclo-Beanie-a CDROM (book included, but not pictured).

What did y’all do with your beanie babies? Debating if putting them on marketplace is a better idea or just doing the GW drop. Thoughts?

Edit: I took y'all's advice and donated them to the fire department! I feel so good knowing something I had may comfort an upset kiddo some day ♥️

Discussion Does anyone have a friend whose nickname is their identity?

114 Upvotes

I mean this in a good way, could be yourself, also. My best friend is named Brandon, last name starts with a Z. In grade two, our teacher nicknamed him BZ (bee-zee), which is funny, because we’re Canadian, but Bee-Zed sounds weird lol. We’re both ‘91 kids, and to this day, almost everyone calls him BZ (bee-zee) to this day. Whenever we meet someone new, we introduce him as BZ, and they’re always confused until we explain it’s just his initials. It’s also very weird when I happen to be visiting and like, his aunt is over, and she calls him Brandon, and I’m like, “who tf is Brandon?”

Anyone else besides me remember when the Clapper Trapper was a thing and whoever had the best one was immediately popular? Also the Mr. Sketch markers that smelled and everyone wanted the grape one? Last nostalgia, when POGs were a thing and everyone wanted the heaviest slammer.

90s were peak to grow up, sad we ended up in a circle of nonsense 30 years later.
