New generations aren't required to appreciate the culture of older generations.

Frankly, I think the half-perm half macklemore high sided buzzcut fuccboi look is dumb, and it makes people look like pomped up poodles, but they aren't getting those haircuts to be attractive to millennials. I imagine this is what my parents thought when every guy in my generation had spiked hair with bleached tips... So let them be alien to you, it's totally normal. You don't have to understand, but you should give them space to be themselves.

We didn't have much better haircuts back then either. But we had more diversity. This is also one of those things I miss, the countless subcultures which led to interesting social dynamics. When was the last time you saw punks and hip hop enjoyers partying together in a park?

I'm not trying to take space away from young people by any means. I actually tried the opposite. It didn't work and I moved on.

Never, but that's because I spent most of my youth playing video games, or running around in the woods hitting my siblings with sticks.
