I almost relate to this, having grown up and learned in the same environment. But I reflexively feel weirded / disgusted / something when people write or say things like: <i>This is probably the most 90s kid techy-anime-nerd image I’ve ever seen.</i><p>I can't relate to it. It's a link to some video, and all I think is, watching videos is consumptive activity, whereas working is 'productive'. While you might have a valid reason to have a chip on your shoulder about the way-things-are, the fact that you like(d) a video isn't relevant (or even acts as an opposing force to your actual point). It doesn't tell me anything other than you grew up in some time period. It certainly doesn't say you're more valuable as an employee. If anything, the navel-gazing article about how you liked this-and-that -- attention to mundane details for most employers (except the <i>cool</i> ones, right?) that give no signal about your performance, maybe just your personality -- will send people running in the opposite direction.
