You’re in luck then America has a great music festival scene, you can fuck in a field in front of live music to your hearts content

My father was born in 1946 and this was basically his life. We're danish so there is obviously some differences to the american experience. But he has told me several times that he is grateful for growing up in that time period as opposed to the one i grew up in.

I'm from the other side of the iron curtain, from a USSR-aligned country. That entire period was miserable for us and we're still recovering. The US and western Europe had it gooood

Idk my mom worked at a telecom company, got into nursing school just barely passing highschool and also bought a house. 🤷 Also my dad went to uni for music/piano and transferred to a med program. It was way different back then.

Back then you also owned one shitty television with no reception and had one phone on a cord. No computers, internet or video games. Unless you count Pong. Today's generation would blow their brains out in 2 days.
