It seems like a quite common character flaw to not be aware of this. Like, be it subcultures, nationalities or party members that are critiqued for not being coherent or assumed being coherent. But commiting the fallacy about a generation seems even more silly.

While I agree this seems overly bitter, the idea of such "pseudo-nostalgia" both fascinates and puzzles me. I get normal nostalgia for things from one's own youth, but not for things you never experienced. Not that this is limited to Zoomers being into (an idea) of Internet culture they never new - people too young to have experienced either the 1950s or 1960s often have wildly romantic idealized concepts of these decades for example.

Super hero movies have some pseodo-nostalgia fans around me.
I mean, I knew those people when they were kids. They didn't care for super heroes except for like Batman, Spiderman and Power Rangers.
Nothing else was even available for them.
But they talk about obscure characters like, Thor and the Hulk or Cpt. America as they read those as comics or something.

It mostly seems like the author is ruining it for himself.
The old internet is mostly dead and many of us in this community are to blame.
Nerd culture sold out - stock options won out over hacker ethics. What was once an emerging space of digital freedom has become a tightly controlled corporate dystopia, but hey, some of us drive fancy cars now!

Ad hock ethics is clearly insufficient here. Without sensible defenses nerd culture was molded into a tool without its own agency.

Wow, why is this dude so fucking angry?

If you want people to listen to you and want to spread the values of decentralization and freedom you shouldn't be pouring hot oil on them from your ivory tower and then complain about how they are so dumb to mistreat and misunderstand you.
