          Eh, they’re alright. They had to deal with more bullshit than I ever had to in high school.

          They had to deal with the daily threat that a school shooting could be their school. All I had to deal with was teenage girls having a war over who was hotter. Backstreet Boys, or N-Sync.

          Which to be fair, if you said the wrong one to a teenage girl in the 90s, she’d be likely to flip out on you. Still though, they wouldn’t pull a gun!

          I’m honestly surprised that the closest we ever got to a parody boy band was Justin Timberlake singing Dick in a Box with Lonely Island. Seems like SOMEBODY should have made a parody band! Weird Al can’t do EVERYTHING, ok???

            Zoomers are fine, just making fun of the concept of young people thinking Windows 3.1 couldn’t connect to the internet. America Online, removed. A/S/L? Also Zi could type my friend’s phone # into Doom and it’d call his modem and we could play each other

            You can equate your highschool experience to a war between boy band favorites.

            Sounds like you had a good time in high school.
