It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I think the ennui of the 90s, where it seemed a better world was no longer possible and a "long now" was all that was visible on the horizon did break some brains. That feeling of emptiness and boredom encouraged nihilism, selfishness, and a sense that not caring about things wasn't just a default, but was cool. It became a thing where caring about anything was considered uncool and some took that well into the next century.
I don't know what ultimately happened to Soundgarden, but a lot of Gen-X bands got really reactionary as years went on, such as Green Day being the one band of any note to sign on to so-called "MetalGate" (an attempt to bring
gate to the metal fandom, fortunately unsuccessfully) and almost every personality featured on MTV back then (imagine "influencers" before social networks really existed) aged into a full blown GOP lackey or even a NewsMax propagandist.
