If you told me that my life depended on distilling my generation down to one simple phrase I might come up with something like “nihilistically nostalgic.”
In fact, maybe I wouldn’t even need to say the phrase, maybe it would be better to just pull up the Instagram account @bubblepunk, where one very talented graphic designer creates NSFW, raging, despairing, and ironic content using the templates of decades past as inspiration.
I don’t know how to describe what it’s like scrolling through these, honestly. You just gotta look for yourself.

It’s eerie, right? The combination of things you feel after looking at those? Kinda want to shake it off. Kinda want to go look at more.
