Oh but that's precisely why I talk about it. *It's the duty of
the older generations to pass on arcane knowledge of their
generation to the younger generation so that a thread
formsbetween generations and connects things we have in common.
There has been a rise in the interest of Retrogaming among GenZ
as well as learning arcane programming languages and text
adventures and in a way, it makes sense. *The
parents/uncles/aunts/grandparents of GenZ were into this
stuff... and they pass it on sort of directly, but even moreso -
the youtube personalities they like were also influenced by this
stuff - and the people who make the cartoons also were into this
stuff, and there are references to past generations all over the
place in the entertainment world, as well as within games. If
you think back to when you were younger, wasn't there a time you
were interested in "Classic Rock" or the "Old School" way of
doing things? *Every generation has that bit; and while you're
right that the era defines a generation - at the same time...
it's possible to form bridges. After all, people of intelligence
of any age eventually ask the question, "Where did [this] come
from?" which often sparks a journey into a before unseen
netherworld of history that stretches back beyond the years of
their life and into the years proceeding.... I find the years
before my birth to be a strange mysterious place which is what
makes it fascinating as well as confusing. *What did they know
that we don't knowtoday?
