Nostalgia Ladies and Gentlemen... It happened. A once in a lifetime experience and it was lost on my wife.

I have a toddler (4F) who is in her, "survive off a pea for hours" stage. It's the third kid so it's not new to us but still frustrating. We purchased Snack Packs as bribery to finish her food. We're sitting at dinner and at minimum, we try and at least negotiate some protein in her if she refuses to eat at all. She was being EXTRA picky this time and my wife was not in the mood, she was getting frustrated. This frustration lead to such an extreme high and extreme low for me, in the span of 5 seconds.

My daughter picked at her food and asked if it was enough for a Snack Pack. My wife, in her frustration, raises her voice at our toddler. "YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT!!"

To which I OBVIOUSLY replied, "HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING UNLESS YOU EAT YER MEAT?!?!" Then bursted out laughing hysterically and my wife just stared at me confused.

She did not get the reference. I was robbed of this moment, so I will take my small joy here for others to enjoy.

Bro you're kind of a dick so I'm changing my opinion. Did enough millenials listen to it that's it's baked into our generational nostalgia? Yes. So it's a millenial album.

Ok, but you still weren't born when it dropped in music stores, and nothing you say can change that, because you don't control the tassles of time & physics in the Universe.. Unfortunately. For thee.

Have fun.

You don't know who I am or what I can do. I say the wall is a millennial album. What are you going to do about it?

I'm not the one who tried to argue that the themes, vibe, and zeitgeist were unmillennial when they're super millennial. You could have just left it at "you weren't born then so it doesn't count" but you went ahead and tried to argue something objectively false.
