Eternal recurrence and future of human civization

I really don't like the '90s. Can we talk about this?

To me, this was the great turning point of nihilism. That both the music, the genre, the fashion-... everything turned from, like, this glamour, the pop, the optimism, even the yuppies and everything-... to grunge and Nirvana. And even though, I mean, I like the music, I don't like the ethics. I don't like-... the morals. I don't like any of the underpinnings to it. There was just such a defeatism to it-... that in retrospect, I look back upon it, if I'm gonna get reinserted into the matrix, it's gonna be the '80s.

Yes. I remember having these orange pants-... with, like, white dots on them. That was just a normal thing kids could wear in the '80s. I've never fucking seen that today. Or I mean, even in the '90s, it all turned just, like, Seattle gray. Great regression.

Anytime. Thank you, Lex, again for having me.
