You went to a poor school. In my middle school (2007ish) we had computer classes teaching photoshop, google sketchup, typing, etc. Granted I was super pissed and jealous I was never able to go to a high school that was focused primarily on the arts.

The younger generations today were bred to excel at and minmax everything obsessively, it's stupid to be resentful if you grew up in the relatively carefree and lazy "fun" times of millennial childhood in comparison

>>7913541
No, resenting the young and feeling envy of them in any way is boomer mentality, and I am above that.
Free yourself from the hatred in your heart, you will live longer and happier.

>>7913544
god i hate being a poorcel so much. my school was so shitty kids literally had to bring their own toilet paper and lunch. half of our computers weren't working and all of them just had the default windows software. there was always shit smeared on the walls in bathrooms and we alwayd had to do p.e. outside in the freezing cold on an uneven concrete field full of cracks because we had no indoors gymnasium. FUCK YOU NIGGA!

hey anon someone in their early 20s here, when i see older people that are into art and compete with other youngsters i say to myself, "wow this guy has balls and even though he started late he doesnt give a damn and is following what he likes" also my highschool was garbo and i was the only art person there

>>7913544
Not even poor necessarily. Just small. We had like 300 kids

no, i like them. i have a kid brother though who grew up in this framework. he’s always been going through a lot and i’m the only one who’s around to support him, so i had to be positive and help him through his classes and academic interests, whatever they happened to be. my high school experience was old school. i don’t mind, i can just keep learning new things forever, it’s both an inevitable part of living and very fun.

I have an age and when I see people do art I think fuck yeah!!!

>>7913541
No, I refrain from doing cringe pathetic beta virgin shit like that

>>7913557
I feel you on the bathroom part. My high school bathroom was so nasty I only used it once and never again, mastering the art of holding it in till getting home.

I'm in my very early twenties now and feel the urge to resent people in their late teens
When I was in my late teems I felt the urge to resent people in their mid teens
I suspect if I picked up art in my mid teens, I'd have resented people who were older than me, who had time to "unfairly" get better than me.

No two ways about it - that's life. No point in being sour. That is a mentality that will get you nowhere. It's not because of any particular reason that the world is the way it is, no matter how much people try to speculate or explain everything in one neat little five second soundbite or three line 4chan post. If someone's better, they simply are, and all you can hope to do is be better than you were yesterday.

I don't really resent the young because that's lazy. My high school art experience was pretty ordinary.

It's true that some people have superior visual-spatial ability and hand-to-eye coordination than others. Childhood makes this incredibly apparent. A lot of brains are also genuinely wired for art (people with autism, dyslexia, OCD, dyscalculia).

But all of that means jack shit if you don't dedicate yourself to the craft. There are WAY too many examples of talented artsy kids who outperformed their peers only to stagnate, regress, or give up drawing entirely, and yet there are plenty of examples of kids who DIDN'T have a natural advantage but still got what they wanted out of their art by putting in the time and effort.

You can be the tortoise, the hare, or the biggest loser who never showed up to the race at all yet still won't stop complaining about others or himself should he make it to the starting line.

Be kind to yourself, work hard (and smart). This is how you accomplish your art goals. If anything, this is something we should instill in younger generations so we don't end up with more bitter or self-hating artists returning to the craft in their adult years.

>>7913541
No not really. I got to do all those things on my own back in the day. Never needed school for that.
And I even had the luxury of growing up in a time when the internet was still cool.
Also I recommend talking to teachers: kids these days are more tech illiterate than even boomers.
It's just that those (very few) kids who manage to muster up motivation on their own have more material at their disposal than ever and the potential to reach greater heights. But most are turning into retarded tiktok and AI zombies.

I probably never would have made it through this filter if I hadn't grown up on WC3, UT2004 and Newgrounds. Don't underestimate the Jewish psyops these days.

old retarded autists will always resent everyone before sitting down and draw lmao

>It can be drawing, but it's more their secondary knowledge of programs, art in combination with 3D, photoshop, motion graphics, video editing, coding, etc.
>Then I often hear how they took classes for these things in high school.
>We never had anything like that.

I can admire good art whatever the age of the artist. If some subgroup of humanity annoys me,its unmotivated NEETs. If I could have my needs paid for, then I could have the time to realize my artistic ambitions. Hours of my life devoured by commutes, let alone working, and by the time I get to draw I can only devote an hour or so a day on average. I can only dream of having all the time in the world, and naturally scorn those who do, yet squander it.

Damn, I went to high school 06-10 and we had nothing digital.
>>7913541
I'm not resentful in the least. In fact, learning any skill at all is easier than it has ever been, and most everything can be learned for free on youtube.
I wish I had devoted more time to art back then but that's a me problem and nothing jealousy can fix.

>>7913541
...why the fuck are you mad at people took advantage opportunities given to them? Most people don't. Matter of fact, most older people want to cut the very programs that give the newer generations even more potential than ever before calling them wasteful. Why? Because of some insecurities rooted in their mortality and inferiority? Because back in my day? I'm glad you're at least honest OP, that's a redeeming quality about you. Most people will latch on to any other reason to hate them and want to take away those opportunities other than the fact that they hate seeing newer generations be far more skilled than them when they were at that age. The irony is, ITS NOT EVEN ALL OF THEM, MOST PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. TELL ME WHY BOOMERS HATE MERITOCRACY WHEN IT ACTUALLY REWARDS MERIT AND DOESN'T JUST FUNCTION AS A CARROT ON A STICK. LMFAOO OUT OF HERE WITH THAT FUCK ASS MENTAL

>>7913541
Why would you resent people that have absolutely nothing in common with you?
It would make more sense to resent one's parents for a shitty upbringing, but even then you just come across as a pathetic whiny loser, which is exactly what you are.

I don't resent the young.
Its not their fault that i grew up when and where i grew up, and i cant really blame odfolks for not seeing the tecnological future because when they learned stuff it was in its infancy.

It is not your fault but nobody else has an obligation to teach you.
You have the internets,
Open up google and learn.
If you dont, even with the opportunity given to you.
It is your own damn fault.

Starting late is better then not starting at all.
Worst case scenario you fail but you lear somthin usefull., and you pass some time
maybe you simply... catch up. Or meet some new frens.
Best case: your extra effort Nd learning newstuff and previous useless knowledge combine into something exceeding expectations.

Go do shit already.

>Do you resent the young?
Fuck off

>>7913541
No the entire premise of resenting people who are just working is silly. There are millions of people far more deserving of your resentment.

>>7913547

You are not a "youngster". Dumb fuck.
Kill yourself.

No, all the greats were older.

>>7913541
no i just hate myself

there are bigget sources of depression

>bust my balls trying to draw some dogshit
>see someone draw a much better picture in fewer lines

Channel your frustrations into crabbing. Vote against your own self interests if it means you can drag everyone else down with you too. After all, your youth and opportunities are gone, why not have everyone else suffer too? Misery enjoys company.

>>7913541
i do and i cope by knowing my ancestors would've killed to have the life i do now. things will always be better for younger generations in many ways, that's just how life goes sadly

>>7913541
Don't resent them. They're really fucked in other ways. Also, the next set of 20 year olds will not be as talented. The kids born around 2002 - 2007ish would be in their early 20s right now. Those kids were dumped in coding camps by parents, given ipads that only had basic app programs like drawing (none of the terrible shit that exists now), grew up with kindles in a children's book boom, had a shit ton of video project requirements in schools, Photoshop was taught pretty often, and had the Wii and Wii U mostly so they weren't off getting addicted to COD and Halo, and youtube was limited to desktop mostly. Depending on where they're from a lot of them missed out on the literacy crisis, because that starts more with the 2009 kids. The problem with 2002 - 2007 crowd is they're really fucking naive and sheltered to the point it's outwardly observable in every word they speak, and they have absolutely no memory of a time when kids were not sheltered. Their view of the world is entirely "so uh the government is good, and I don't think the people in power know that what they're doing is bad, because why would the government ever be bad, I think they just in need of like younger people to be the voice of the new generation, that's us, we're the kids of the future." Listen to the way they speak whenever you meet someone in that demographic, they would unironically use terminology like "kids of the future." They're social, but incredibly socially awkward, and don't know much about anything. Another example, African poverty "like we have so much food what if we just fed Africa. Why can't we just like give them our food," and then they mumble laugh as they say it, as to imply "omg it's just that simple." Go watch anyone in that age range on youtube. It's observable behavior in all of them.

>>7913541
Those classes are only useful if you actually care about the subject, and those who care are just being thought things they already know.

Like, I had Spanish for 3 years, and mi hombre negro, do you think I speak Spanish?

I weep that weak men want to drag down the next generation rather than build them up. If the next generation isn't stronger and more capable. We have failed. If my children do not amount to more than me. I have failed. To the people this resonates with, you are called to bring something into this world that will bring about a better tomorrow. It's your responsibility to find what that is.
