Never watched Kids, but it does sound like a must-see so thanks for mentioning it.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but we all seemed to get along just fine in the 90s. Sure, things weren't perfect but we seemed to be heading in the right direction.
For some reason I always thought of Columbine High School shooting/massacre (for which Marilyn Manson, an artist not associated with rave culture imo, got scapegoated too) as the first evident sign things with hate were bad, and weren't really going in the right direction...
That about sums it up. They try to put the blame everywhere but the fact that EVERYTHING is just screwed up. We're having a serious mental health crisis in this country. That's the only place to point the finger!
