The Streaming Generation has come of age in the era of music and movie streaming on apps such as Spotify and Pandora. This generation will have little to no memory of a time when CDs and DVDs were relevant media in their respective field. The time period covered by this generation is approximately 20005 to the present day, giving them a significant overlap with generation Z. Members of this generation are likely to prioritize efficiency in the way they consume music and video, however there have also been some backlash to this, which have led many of them to re-embrace older forms of these, particularly vinyl records.

1. Not the game. The game may be unfair, but it is unfair for everybody. it is not the fault of the game that humans are infinitely fallible creatures who will seek to take advantage of its loopholes at every opportunity. Every person has a choice whether to engage in ethical behavior or not. One can take the easy way out, but there are no free passes for doing so.
2. If certain people have advantages, it still does not give them the right to abuse them. As a society, we have responsibilities to each other, to lift each other up rather than tear each other down. At heart, we are all capable of good, but too often we choose to see things in a zero-sum, win-lose dichotomy where the only thing that matters is getting ahead, and blaming the system is a convenient out. Using the system as an excuse is like saying the system allows us to buy guns, therefore you can’t be held responsible for murdering someone.
3. Your anger at a certain person for cheating or otherwise engaging in unscrupulous or immoral behavior is totally justified. Do not take it lying down, and don’t let them make excuses, you are worth far more than that.
4. Inversion of the popular idiom “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.

People always tell me to hate the game, but the game didn’t wrong me, the game didn’t force people to do anything but exercise their own ethical judgement. Therefore, I reserve my right to hate the player.

Videos or gifs of Hitler reacting to memes and pop culture that came into existence over 70 years after the fall of the Third Reich which in any event would have absolutely no relevance to an unhinged tyrant watching his world collapse around him is a perfect example of rule 99
