I'm 43. Internet nerd since '88. 27 years online. Narrowly
  avoided Neckbeard my whole life so far, even though I have a
  beard on my neck. Got over my conspiracy-theoriness between
  1983-1984, obsessed with "Chariots of the Gods" and ancient
  aliens, Nostrodamus, and The Illuminati. 1984. I was 12 years
  old.
  X-files came around in the 90s. Couldn't believe people were
  buying it left and right. But they did. I didn't watch the show
  for years because it was the same shit I read about 10 years
  BEFORE. Now. 2015. Generation Z mocks conspiracy theorists of
  their PARENTS generation quite freely while playing Super Smash
  Bros Brawl in their 420noscoped smokeweedeveryday
  jetfueldoesntmeltsteelbeams language. And I think it's freakin'
  AWESOME. Best Generation since... well, it was better than
  mine.. and GenY - GenY were too serious. They believed X-Files
  was fact. They still do.
