This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm a millenial (born 1981), and I remember my father (a boomer) complaining about MTV in the 90s and 00s, and how "confusing" it was. He couldn't fathom how the young people could pay attention to what was being told on the account of how fast and abrupt the cutting was.

Fast forwards to today, and the MTV-style is everywhere: YouTube, TikTok, Reels etc is directly traced back to the fast paced MTV style of cutting.

Question is. How fast can we go!?

I dare you to watch an original Transformers cartoon episode. Holy fuck, I’ve never been so exhausted in 15 minutes by a TV show.
