yeah true i didn't address that. i didn't grow up under thatcher, i grew up in the sun. thatcher must've sucked, and some kids today have been lucky, but that's hardly their fault, and you have to be careful not to sound like you're eating sour grapes.
I'm sure it all gets very tiresome for youngsters to be told "you're bloody lucky, we never had any of this!" by miserable, bitter old cunts all the time.
Didn't happen to me though, everyone was shitting it, people didn't say we were lucky or privilaged, they said things like "it wasn't like this in the 60's, you could walk out of one job on a friday, and get a new one on monday!"
Just as tiresome,maybe, but poles apart.
Most people just want to see youngsters make the most of the things we never had, for instance, I missed out lots of sport that I was good at as a child, due to piss poor infrastructure and schooling, at least nowadays talented swimmers, cyclists and athletes can reach their potential with the right amount of help. No sour grapes there, I'm very happy the situations changed.
anyway, that's a massive tangent from the whole hipster thing, which is just a bit of pisstake
