And I know a great song that sums up the whole spirit of millennial regressivism. It's called "Back When" and was performed by old Tim McGraw. It came out around 2004 I think. Here are some of the lyrics:
We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
Of course it's obvious that Tim McGraw was a regressivist before I was, but he's not a millennial. Old people have always tended to be regressivists, so that's nothing new. As millennials begin to age, more of them will probably become regressivists too. In fact I'm quite old for a millennial. I might just barely make the cut.
