Never heard of someone mocking cosplayers or people who playing role playing games, or calling people band nerds, or mocking a community band, or mocking local murals, or complaining about money being spent on public art, or anything like that?
Nah, boredom comes from society spending so much focus on working a job that most people are too worn down to enjoy a hobby that most of society looks down on. Like people being made fun of for reading books, playing music, painting, and having any kind of hobby that isn't part of a money making hustle is what kills people's interest in most hobbies.
Then there is the scheduling issues due to needing to waste so many hours working and commuting that they are too tired to play in a community sports league or have any kind of regular activity with other people. Heck, people often spent a lot more time doing community get togethers and even just visiting friends regularly compared to today.
Surr, some people are bored because they would have enjoyed those tedious tasks, but for the most part people are discouraged from doing fun things by society.
No running, the bounce seems to be the trigger. Rowing machines, swimming, hiking, and weightlifting are fine even though I don't do them often enough.
When doing work I stay aware of the signs that it is likely to happen and change up before it kicks in. This took a long time to learn due to ADHD, but I have been able to stop at slow breathing for over a decade now.
Cold weather sometimes kicks it off, but loose fitting scarves work wonders. Too tight and restricted breathing will be worse than the cold air, but loose and high enough to break a cold wind works for me.
Took about 30 years with a rescue inhaler handy before I was comfortable with being able to notice the signs and just forgetting to get the prescription refilled.
The problem can be that some progress can be used to placate the masses by halting the momentum.
Obamacare was a step in the right direction, but also enough to kill the momentum towards the actual solutions that would have provided universal healthcare. Even those wouldn't have been perfect, but now the drive has plataeued and good enough for most people means we won't get good enough for everyone any time soon.
Decriminalizing weed instead of legalizing and regulating is another. It doesn't actually solve the inherent problems with the war on drugs because the drug trade that does involve criminal activity is still present. This kind of situation can backfire by reinforcing people's belief in the lies about drugs inherently causing violent crime.
So the sentiment is correct, but not all progress is good enough and partial progress can be a long term negative.

That isn't what legacy means.
