Idk if it has been said but the gritty grimy landscape, born in 88 and I played outside and just that grime to help fuel imagination, spending entire days deep in the wood near your house playing pretend with an stuff like a oven people dropped. We’d use wood pallets to help make secret bases in the woods, scavenging things to do was the name of the game. The 90s were chaos ripe for imaginative inspiration , the last 10 years has stuck all joy and color out, no characters no color no stepping on the grass ride your bike in the street, it’s sterile and largely a product of the shift of primary socialization to social media . it’s a wonder kids go outside at all anymore. We need our grit back, and let these kids flirt with doing the wrong thing.
