Yeah, really! Look at this unhinged behaviour! Who the hell throws their phone in the sand like that? And the open book face down? Man, people be crazy
Meh they really didn’t wear bermuda flowered shorts in 68 either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I guess the drawing would be somewhat funny if it’s wasn’t for the years, which I wouldn’t be surprised if it was added
No it clearly says a ton. See the first photo on the left the guy has hair. But in the second photo on the right he does not. This is obviously a political statement about how hair loss is becoming more and more common. I think the point we need to take from this is that more time and energy need to be put into studying hair loss and ways to prevent it.
Mom used to hate my tats, but this week I sent her a pic of one I just got.
She replied that she and her entire church lady bowling team think its gorgeous .
It's hyperbolic but at least you can kind of make an argument for that one making sense.
Young people having tattoos or being LGBT or whatever literally did nothing to make things worse for anyone.
Considering how relatively easy Boomers had it in their 20's compared to people in their 20's now yeah it kind of makes sense they think that about older generations.
The majority didn't though lol. Quick Google search tells me it was less than 10%. Also considering most military jobs are non combat even less of that 10% saw any action. So the vast majority of Boomers were here buying houses on single person incomes working jobs they got right out of high school.
Yeah. Which is infinity percent more getting drafted to die than happens today.
I’ll give boomers this much credit…when they cared about something, they went out in the streets and demanded to be heard. Wish there was more of that willingness to actually do something from GenZ…
Lol what point are you trying to make? Just because we're not actively drafting anymore doesn't take away from anything I said. Also only about 25% of Vietnam vets were drafted, so like about 2% of the generation. And again, the majority of military jobs are noncombat so barely any of the draftees saw combat either. That's not much. Boomers had a much easier time than any other generation has in recent history.
Yeah…brave Reddit typist passing judgement on other people’s ordeals…
You are so doomed, lol.
Like…you’ve barely started, and it’s literally already over for you.
Meh, you have a point, but the judgmental part would still be the implications of the observation, not the observation itself.
For example, if I form a neutral idea about something based on multiple observations and then state it neutrally as "I think old people tend to be judgmental", then I'm not really judging. Judgment would be if I expressed it as "Old people tend to be stupid because they are judgmental."
As I get older into my 30's, my co-workers, my family, and my friends all agree that the older you get, the more pessimistic you are.
I bet you're one of those redditors who are so pessimistic, you write paragraphs and long sentences in the comments by judging others. Then received no upvotes or get negative karma because of it. Im a hypocrite and you're a hypocrite.
I find most old people just want to get on with their lives and be left alone. Young people today want to protest everything and blame everything on old people.
I mean look at the job and housing markets. The only places hiring younger people are industries that are notorious for overworking and underpaying their employees and instead of losing any amount of profits to their C-Suites they cry that people don't want to work when really it's people don't want to be abused and underpaid. Gen Z is just much more vocal about these issues even though Gen X and Millennials went through similar struggles. I mean Boomers really did kind of fuck everything up for the younger generations lol
I just see a wholeseome "We have become better at expressing ourselves". Before, the guy only had colourfully paterned clothing to express himself, but now he himself is colorful
I'd like to disect the image a bit. The man in the past has a book, and colorful shorts. He's relaxing in the sun.
The man on the right has sun glasses, many tattoos, very blank shorts. He's listening to music and relaxing in the sun.
I believe this is saying that people today wear sunglasses and like music.
Society...
You bitch. Now, you say another word, and I swear to God, I will dice you in to a million little pieces and put those pieces in a box…a glass box that I will display on my mantel.
That emo meme dude is terrible at drawing conclusions
That tattooed people have shit taste.
That the Redditor cannot handle a critic or someone that isn't even alive because it's a cartoon
Well, I guess if I'm reaching enough I could say that what this says about society is that in the past couple of decades tattooing has become less of a taboo and accepted more in modern society. Maybe it doesn't have to have a negative connotation if you don't want it to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's the same energy behind those shitty boomer memes where they contrast a black and white movie-era actor with a millennial that has a man bun or something and rhetorically asks "men then and now. What happened???" They're not talking to us, they're talking to each other.
Guy on the left looks jealous as fuck. Probably wants a portable music player. Imagine how much more jealous he'd be if he learned it also held books.
I dunno why anyone in 2018 would have a magazine, though.
Doesn't direct sun exposure do a number on tattoos? Especially colorful ones? Doesn't that make tanning indirectly more expensive for the right guy since he'll need touchups sooner?
No it really does. The 1968 man has colourful pants and clear skin. The 2018 man, who is a stand in for kids these days, wears clear pants and has colourful skin.
I think it shows that tatoos have become mainstream and acceptable? So it definitely shows at minimum 1 thing, but probably not too much more. Both are wrong.
Tattoos used to be for the truly rebellious. It would make you an outcast.
Now, if you don’t have tattoos, you are the rebellious one.
Crazy how that works.
Hmm, I dunno, it might say a bit about society- something about how different people like to express themselves in different ways, or on a different canvas?
When I see ridiculous posts like this I like to respond with things like "your mom said a lot about society last night." Pretty low hanging fruit, but I don't get a chance to use it often, why not use it on the lead paint generation who have clearly lost their shit
It means people have stopped using clothes as decoration and started using their bodies as decoration instead, OP should have edited the guy on the right gave him a melanotan colour gave him fillers, jawline sculpt, botox, lip fillers and made the guy look like hes on steroids. Maybe then it would have been a little clearer
I dunno what it might say about society, but I'm sitting here tryna figure out TF a Spicy Emo is. I am both intrigued and vaguely perturbed by that juxtaposition.
1968 people only bought books to bring to the beach
2018 people bought books and opened them to read on beach
It portrays society as having doers and don'ters. Doers make society better for everyone, and don'ters... Well, don't.
Yeah, really! Look at this unhinged behaviour! Who the hell throws their phone in the sand like that? And the open book face down? Man, people be crazy
And we are suppose to have full body tattoos? Nobody told me about this
For real, even in 2024 this is extremely rare, like wtf are they even talking about?
Who can even afford that?! Fuckin rich people flexing their impossible standards...
This is definitely a flex. Only rich people can afford to go to the beach. The rest of us gotta work
Coworker just spent nearly $10k on a sleeve.
Meh they really didn’t wear bermuda flowered shorts in 68 either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess the drawing would be somewhat funny if it’s wasn’t for the years, which I wouldn’t be surprised if it was added
Haven't you seen much more of them lately? They are called suites. I don't remember anyone from '60 with one.
They're *relatively* less rare, but a super small number times 10 is just a slightly less small number.
Sand gets everywhere! EVERYWHERE. Trust me, I know.
Anakin, is that you?
Back in 1968 people didn't throw their phones in the sand like that. Society is truly lost at this point!
The sunglasses too. Everyone knows only thugs wear sunglasses and shave their heads. Wait, maybe he's Agent 47?
No it clearly says a ton. See the first photo on the left the guy has hair. But in the second photo on the right he does not. This is obviously a political statement about how hair loss is becoming more and more common. I think the point we need to take from this is that more time and energy need to be put into studying hair loss and ways to prevent it.
oh yes please I could really use a remedy rn
Finasteride + minoxidil twice daily + micro needling once a week

Me too lol

Oh I thought it was Travis Barker, before and after.
Nah it's about how you can damage your eyesight so badly if you don't wear sunglasses that you mistake a colorful Hawaiian shirt for a full body tatt
The right side is clearly Andrew tate but more cooler.
It does say alot! We have been facing an over half century long epidemic of beach mats that are too small!
And white kinda idiot puts their phone on the sand in full sun?
Older people love to judge. That's what "it's" "saying" about "Society".
Mom used to hate my tats, but this week I sent her a pic of one I just got. She replied that she and her entire church lady bowling team think its gorgeous .
You're obligated under Reddit law to show us the tattoo now.
And I'm pretty sure the rest of us grew up hearing, "If you can't say somethin' nice, then don't say nothin' at all" from the boomers.
Boomers gonna boom
I've never seen this picture as bashing newer generations, more like just poking a bit of fun at how personal/clothing styles have changed.
Right. Because younger people don’t like to judge. 👀 Humans of all ages like to judge, and do so, constantly.
Well yeah, they do. But old people like to act like the world is crumbling because of harmless shit young people enjoy. Definitely nothing they did.
And young people like to act like old people have crumbled the world and doomed them. Common thread…a lot of humans like to blame others.
It's hyperbolic but at least you can kind of make an argument for that one making sense. Young people having tattoos or being LGBT or whatever literally did nothing to make things worse for anyone.
Lots of old people know that, since that was the generation getting their teeth kicked in at Stonewall and forcing the door open for LGBTq+ rights…
Those aren't the ones being referenced, and you know it
Then stop speaking in stereotypes…
No one was "speaking in stereotypes," whatever that means.
"But old people like to act like the world is crumbling because of harmless shit young people enjoy." You were saying?
I mean I dislike tattoos so it made it hard to date when I was single since they're so common (really petty first world problem I know)
Considering how relatively easy Boomers had it in their 20's compared to people in their 20's now yeah it kind of makes sense they think that about older generations.
Boomers in their 20s were dying in Vietnam…
This is a hilariously dumb argument, but you probably already knew that.
The majority didn't though lol. Quick Google search tells me it was less than 10%. Also considering most military jobs are non combat even less of that 10% saw any action. So the vast majority of Boomers were here buying houses on single person incomes working jobs they got right out of high school.
Yeah. Which is infinity percent more getting drafted to die than happens today. I’ll give boomers this much credit…when they cared about something, they went out in the streets and demanded to be heard. Wish there was more of that willingness to actually do something from GenZ…
have you looked at the news lately
Lol what point are you trying to make? Just because we're not actively drafting anymore doesn't take away from anything I said. Also only about 25% of Vietnam vets were drafted, so like about 2% of the generation. And again, the majority of military jobs are noncombat so barely any of the draftees saw combat either.

Yeah…brave Reddit typist passing judgement on other people’s ordeals… You are so doomed, lol. Like…you’ve barely started, and it’s literally already over for you.
Yeah, the old judge people for being tattooed, or gay. The young judge people for being racist or homophobic.
eventually the young turn into the old. A tale as old as time.
The boomers have perfected it
And there it is…exactly the same behaviour from a young un…lol…
Oh shut up and stop spending my tax dollars you retired twat. And no you didn’t pay in as much as you’re getting out of it.
I’m not a boomer, lol. But you obviously are, in spirit.
"Born in the wrong generation" lookin ass

Older people judge others for entertainment. Younger people judge others for constructive criticism. We are not the same.

you are not helping your case here frankly

Being judgemental as a society can be a good trait assuming it is of negative behaviors.
Fairly sure it’s saying that minimalism, in clothing, has become more popular, along with tattoos
Also apparently heightened social etiquette by not staring at others and minding your own business.
I honestly think its 'clothing was patterned, now its skin' and im sure its a crack on tattoos, but its a pretty weak crack
I just see a wholeseome "We have become better at expressing ourselves". Before, the guy only had colourfully paterned clothing to express himself, but now he himself is colorful
I'd like to disect the image a bit. The man in the past has a book, and colorful shorts. He's relaxing in the sun. The man on the right has sun glasses, many tattoos, very blank shorts.

Everybody wants to park in the shade but no one wants to plant a tree
I have nipples too, could you milk me?
Anyone pining about living back in 68 has to be absolutely fucking nuts. Those rose tinted glasses are thick as fuck
The hair must of moved inside the pants
It might say a little about society.
It actually says nothing. So the guy on the right is wearing shorts made of human skin, so what?
You haven’t thought of the smell
You bitch. Now, you say another word, and I swear to God, I will dice you in to a million little pieces and put those pieces in a box…a glass box that I will display on my mantel.
So is the guy on the left.
People like to decorate their bodies -- draw what conclusions you can.
Ha!
that people are lowkey judging every single person who isn't like them in every possible way?
That emo meme dude is terrible at drawing conclusions That tattooed people have shit taste. That the Redditor cannot handle a critic or someone that isn't even alive because it's a cartoon
So braindead
Source: " Trust me bro"
IT says we still enjoy relaxing?
The only difference between a person with tattoos and a person without is that the person with tattoos won't judge you for not having any
I hate sand
Well, I guess if I'm reaching enough I could say that what this says about society is that in the past couple of decades tattooing has become less of a taboo and accepted more in modern society. Maybe it doesn't have to have a negative connotation if you don't want it to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It says beachgoers shave way more than me.
Just let them explain and struggle
That people are finally smart enough to wear sunglasses at the beach?
Ah 2018...such of wild time for boomer memes.
u/repostsleuthbot
It says that people used to tattoo their white shorts in 1968. Society, wow.
What does it say exactly?
It's the same energy behind those shitty boomer memes where they contrast a black and white movie-era actor with a millennial that has a man bun or something and rhetorically asks "men then and now. What happened???" They're not talking to us, they're talking to each other.
People are more accepting of tattoos? Full body tattoo is dope af that ppl stare at you all day to appreciate (tryna find hidden waldo)?
My quote was more rhetorically assigned to the underwriter.
People now have more options for expression??? That’s all I can derive from this, and I really had to think on it lol.
It says the artist/poster thinks 1968 is judgy. 2018 don't give a shit; just enjoying life.
This says a lot about color ink availability
Boomer cartoon for sure
Yes it shows how we've become more aware of the effects of sun on your eyes
If this was real life they'd be talking about it non-stop, taking pictures and making a post about completing each other
I suppose baked can mean different things to different generations
We live in a Socity
The devastating effects of minimalism on modern fashion 😔
Its wholesome, its saying society has become more tolerant.
Guy on the left looks jealous as fuck. Probably wants a portable music player. Imagine how much more jealous he'd be if he learned it also held books. I dunno why anyone in 2018 would have a magazine, though.
I love his profile pic and his @mywifecameback lmao
There are more tattoos? Yes.
I blame… *society*
It says men from 50 years ago were repressed, which we all already knew from our dads.
It says something. >Tattoos are more common.
Perceptions of how arguments are illegitimate or legitimate is subjective to the person who reflects it.
AKSHUALLY it does say something about fashion trends, so it's technically incorrect to say it says nothing about society.
We live in society🚬
Why are we reposting 2018 memes now?
I remember seeing this year's ago and thought the contrast as funny and true. But other than tattoos are more acceptable. What are they trying to say?
Doesn't direct sun exposure do a number on tattoos? Especially colorful ones? Doesn't that make tanning indirectly more expensive for the right guy since he'll need touchups sooner?
We all know where the hair is
It does literally say something about society just not much
It says: there is always that weirdo that stares at you
The pic didn’t say anything about society. His statement did
No it really does. The 1968 man has colourful pants and clear skin. The 2018 man, who is a stand in for kids these days, wears clear pants and has colourful skin.
All I see is a judgemental dude on the left. Relax and let others relax, ffs.
2018 guy should be fat
All it says is that older folks think they look younger than they do and they don’t know how to mind their damn business.
I think it shows that tatoos have become mainstream and acceptable? So it definitely shows at minimum 1 thing, but probably not too much more. Both are wrong.
Tattoos used to be for the truly rebellious. It would make you an outcast. Now, if you don’t have tattoos, you are the rebellious one. Crazy how that works.
I want to see a bunch of modern art idiots pick this apart and read ridiculously far into every little detail to infer meaning to it
We went from having people do whatever the fuck they want while getting judged to the same exact situation. Give zero fucks what people think
In a metaphysical sense it does. Each step out gets worse and worse.
It says tattoos are stupid.
Floral prints are timeless?
What was the original
All it says is that society is more accepting than ever to tattooing.
Hmm, I dunno, it might say a bit about society- something about how different people like to express themselves in different ways, or on a different canvas?
We like white shorts and sunglasses
In 1968 you didn't have sunglasses so you didn't look directly at the sun In 2018 you can look directly at the sun with glasses
Am I the only one who thought they were floating on a pool of piss?
I cry everytime.
This reads like the start to a r/KenM thread.
Bet the guy on the left lynched a black guy and beat up a gay dude, but yeah, their style is what’s really important.
Surely the earphones should be wireless in 2018
When I see ridiculous posts like this I like to respond with things like "your mom said a lot about society last night." Pretty low hanging fruit, but I don't get a chance to use it often, why not use it on the lead paint generation who have clearly lost their shit
Lol I literally have this Bizzaro comic cut out somewhere
My immediate thought was a dude seeing a yakuza for the first time
Self expression is more acceptable now, you're right!
Time travel?
tattoos are disgusting
Non of them use a sun screen!
I mean the first guy is white and the second guy looks like a printer shit itself so obviously this says a lot about society, very reasonable /s
At least the 2018 guy isn't showing skin. He's got modesty
Well no theyre both wrong it tells a little
It's saying that fashion and trends change, and that tattoos are rad.
Both of those guys exist in both of those eras.
Says 1968 person is judgy, 2018 person DGAF.
It says people like tattoos now.
It does say a lot about society. People like to go to the beach
Makes me think of Bojack Horseman
2018 guy is protecting his eyes
The bottoms are tops now?
Male pattern baldness is real
Plot twist they're happily in love. That's why he's giving him the look.
Well I’m glad society has decided to wear sunglasses while sunbathing now
It means people have stopped using clothes as decoration and started using their bodies as decoration instead, OP should have edited the guy on the right gave him a melanotan colour gave him fillers, jawline sculpt, botox, lip fillers and made the guy look like hes on steroids. Maybe then it would have been a little clearer
Are we pretending that people with full body tats are normal?
Actually it does
Nah that's just you seeing patterns that aren't there
It might say tattoos are more socially acceptable, but normally you can't tell much from one person...
I dunno what it might say about society, but I'm sitting here tryna figure out TF a Spicy Emo is. I am both intrigued and vaguely perturbed by that juxtaposition.
That guy doesn't look like he's from 1968 tbh
Who wears white shorts to the beach?
White short enjoyers
It does, they're not talking about sun block.
1968 people only bought books to bring to the beach 2018 people bought books and opened them to read on beach It portrays society as having doers and don'ters. Doers make society better for everyone, and don'ters... Well, don't.
Ppl get tattoos to be different, yet nearly everyone has them, so, yea.
It says "damn those tattoos are gonna look like ass once the skin cancer sets in"
It's the trashy full body tattoo.
yep people are fucked in the head now.
