I’m Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today!
Every generation gets a panic about its kids — and every generation’s panic looks deeply stupid in hindsight. In Part 1 of a new three-part series, Chris and Des trace how the modern “teenager” was even invented, then walk the timeline through Elvis’s hips, James Dean, the 70s nihilism of Over the Edge, Chris’s 80s coming-of-age in Ames, Iowa, and the slacker label that never quite fit. The setup for everything coming next: it’s not that the kids aren’t all right. It’s that the kids aren’t supposed to be all right — and adults keep forgetting their own teenage years. ==================== Subscribe, watch and listen to I'm Not Even Supposed to Be Here Podcast ==================== 🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeHerePod [https://www.youtube.com/@BeHerePod] 📱 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/im-not-even-supposed-to-be-here-today/id1867373928 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/im-not-even-supposed-to-be-here-today/id1867373928] 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3bypMpSmcoIjt4bHk0nvzz?si=18eab826d1394fd9 [https://open.spotify.com/show/3bypMpSmcoIjt4bHk0nvzz?si=18eab826d1394fd9] ==================== Sponsored by Bearing 287 https://www.bearing287.com/ ==================== #BeHerePod #NotEvenSupposedToBeHere #CulturalCommentary Timestamps: 0:00 — Cold open: “the kids end up okay at the end” 1:30 — Welcome + a new three-part series 4:00 — The Michael Jackson biopic conversation 8:00 — The teenager was invented after WWII 13:00 — “Kids these days” — the cyclical hand-wringing 15:00 — Elvis’s hips and rock and roll panic 21:00 — “Cut your hair” as the universal theme 23:00 — The 70s: latchkey kids and Iowa childhood 29:00 — Over the Edge: the dark side of 70s teen life 32:00 — “It’s 10 PM.
