All I ever see are greybeard GenXers and boomers with their noses in their little glowing dopamine-generating rectangles, to be honest. All the young people are wannabe-Spielbergs and Milos Formans: filming themselves and every even non-notable interaction with their environment, mentally and emotionally separating themselves from their deteriorating reality. Millennials like myself go back to looking at happier pre-21st century times via nostalgic content like this, Zoomers want to be content creators; and older generations are happier to be content-absorbers, or as I call them, the incontent, or incontinent if you will. That's why every grey goateed fuck is a facebook brainwormed Qtard on life support, their stupid common law wives begging for their gofundmes... I seen it a hundred times.

[@bentramer682]

Well, I play music with my friends a lot, this is a comedic sketch about kids wishing they were in a band, everyone who ever felt some way has done this. Anyway I find it amusing you trash children for being on the internet all the time when you're on it as you made this comment. As for saying things were better without the internet I am not sure, it has allowed the more apathetic crowd to slip into meaninglessness and people like me, were able to discover so much more unique and interesting music because of it.

They used to be creative geniuses riding high on all manner of addictions and personal problems, so when they made a skit they knew it was funny and had time to learn it, while modern day SNL is done by committee by people who are not anywhere near as self-destructive or creative, so they are writing and refining them up to the last minute, hence 90% of modern skits have no ending.
