- This is the July 2020 Complete Edition of the Guide to Zoomer Humor or "Humour" if you serve The Queen. It was incredibly difficult to explain and I'm sure that many people will have a problem with my final thoughts, but this does at least help create a better understanding for those who are completely oblivious!

Couple of small changes since I’ve learned new info since this video was made!
(Btw I was born in 2001)
Gen Z seems to be somewhat loosely defined as 1996-2010, 1997-2012, or 1997-2015.
There may also be an inter generation between millennials and Gen Z
The point is, you’re defined by whatever you’re closest to!
Also beans is often a euphemism for drugs… apparently!
And the “Gen Z born with an iPad” analogy was meant to more to illustrate being born with the modern internet, like having access to Google and TH-cam as a young person. Maybe YOU didn’t, I don’t know your life.
Anyways, thanks for letting me know, if you were born after 2015, I am mostly positive that you are Gen Alpha!
This is what I say:
Baby boomers: 1946-1964
Gen X: 1965-1979
Gen Y/Millennial: 1980-1994
Gen Z: 1995-2009
Gen Alpha: 2010-2024
@@robblequoffle8456 gen beta not yet around 2024-? I am a gen z I will wait for kids after marriage.
Those 69 likes... Couldn't get my attention away..
But seriously, I was born in 1995 !
Its actually 8
So basically...
Boomers Humor: man vs man
Millenials Humor: man vs himself
Gen Z Humor: man vs reality
That's pretty astute I think. Gen X humor seems to be man vs appropriate behavior.
@pure kashmiri trust me when I say the millennials and boomers were far worse lol and still are, they didn't even have some human rights in their days. We just have more access to knowledge and of news around the world of what's going on now. So settle down 💀
@pure kashmiri are you high or sum-
“girls wear crop tops”
bro don’t look if it bothers you that much
@@umnothanks9504 pretty sure he's trying to get a reaction out of you by being a troll. Don't indulge him.
@pure kashmiri hehe caps lock
I’m gen z and i still don’t understand my humor
lol yea, my mom asked me to explain my humor and i was like "the whole thing is that its chaotic, it isn't clever or anything and purposely doesn't make any sense".
She didn't get it.
Becuase the when y fje
Me too 😅
@Ian Salyer a k

It is what it is
My favorite explanation was that Gen Z are overwhelmed by how absurd everything is. So they simply embrace the absurd. No punchline needed. They create something like a meme to create more absurdity. The existence of their creation is itself the joke. Its existence is funny even if the thing itself is not.
And I like that.
When you watch so many funny youtube and tiktok videos it is hard to find things funny anymore. That it comes to the point of being absurd to get an emotional response it is kinda sad. Though this sub-cultural maybe small or big noone has done analysis how many people have such attitudes and consume meme media frequently. I think it is a smaller group than people imagine. I think most people are still struggling with life offline to spend hours watching and consuming such media.
I mean, every century has a certain philosophy that dominates within societies, and I've noticed that absurdism, existentialism and nihilism are the dominant ones for gen z. By any means, not all of gen z have the same humour. I come from a conservative country and majority of people here don't speak English so they haven't been raised with the memes and humour I was raised with, do while I embrace absurdity, others here don't and think I'm nuts for doing so. I've also noticed that my sense of humour is a part of my logic. I'm an atheist (and that number is growing a lot within gen z) and I question a lot of things. I don't, however, believe that this humour is that big of a change in everyday life, you only see it on social media. Most of them are made by specific witty people who already are considered to be weirdos and are now embracing that side of themselves without an issue. I've seen some very veryyyy poorly made memes and jokes trying to pretend to be as absurd as possible. Just because we see this type of humour online, it doesn't mean all of us have the balls to use it in everyday life. I've only seen that happen in certain American states. Come visit Europe and any other continent, we're more reserved
In other words, my life is a joke
MTV did it first when it first started so theres that....I couldnt imagine growing up in an age where nothing a huge population of people do or say is unique or will really make a difference or matter. Millennials saved the world in y2k.fixed the ozone layer.made some of the most modern iconic content.broke all the records.made a new info/tech/industrial boom all while having zero money and never seeing a good economy (owning land credit or being paid a living wage let alone a wage at all)and witnessing more national/worldwide historical events/ wars/pandemics than any generations-let alone multiple generations had ever seen.....
millennials....they are a tired bunch of 30 year olds.
So basically reality is stranger than fiction
"You say peacock, and no one bats an eye. You say poop cock, and everyone loses their minds."
So powerful 😔✊
did you really have to make me spit watermelon on my keyboard
@@ayanoaman3179 yes.
LMFAO I'm dying of laughter no cap 🤣🤣🤣
Wtf.
Not as powerful as “India is leading the pack, no really, us Jews are number two, but number four is Germany, so everybody watch your backs.” 😝
Explaining a joke kills it.
This is the exception to the rule.
I tried to just explain dead jokes for this exact reason haha
@@MisterSweetProductions Honestly still laughed at a bunch of the bad ones and found it pretty well put together.
at least he doesn't do it like behind the meme
Nah, explaining a joke can make it funnier for me, but I'm neurodivergent so maybe that's why idk
@@novaeir7602 I'm the same way! It helps me appreciate the humor more!
I love how the older generations are legitimately researching and deciphering our god forsaken awful humor.
Trying to figure out how to market to you.
@@awesomeguyness Exactly lol
@@awesomeguyness wAIt dONt sKIP. WhOSe tHE impOSTeR???
We're just trying to figure out what we're seeing on the interwebs. :D
How to market and take advantage and boy is it easy with this generation. You guys will literally buy anything "just because". Thank you for my wealth!
I love how our humor is being researched it’s amazing
Humor has always been researched. Understanding what makes things funny can be powerful. Sorry, this honestly wasn't meant as an attempt to say Gen Z's don't matter. What I said is just true. haha
@@thevirtunaut1856 Yeah but they are also quite full of themselves aswell... so yeah
So they can sell you shit in a box by making le funny video.
Too bad it wasn't funny
As a millennial in his 30s, I've never really been perplexed by gen Z culture. I think in a lot of ways, it's part of a cycle young people go through in every generation. The humor, in particular, is not that different from the weird, absurd internet humor I enjoyed back in the early 2000s.
lol hopefully we can all
get along one day
I feel the same way especially when I rewatch a funny video from early 2010s(not the cringe ones with stereotypes). Or when I listen to a funny song from that era as well.
2000s humor will always be an all time classic.
Why do we act like everything is new with each generation? As a GenXer, there was plenty of absurd humor, such as Ren and Stimpy or Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
Yeah, it sure is different.
It's trash.
So basically, our humor=absurdism+irony+contrarianism+referential humor+an undercurrent of existential dread. Sounds about right for the times.
The devil manufactures the image of each generation. He fills your childhood with degeneracy and tried to get you to ignore or deny God through your entire journey growing up. He wants you to live YOLO with an evolutionary mindset because it's much easier to control people with fear, and it's much easier to steal their joy when they think they came from a pond of ooze that randomly came into existence millions or billions of years after a random bang lol.
He also fills our heads with humanism like "ye shall be as gods" using tech or other means. The docu on Netlix about He-Man and how they marketed him to kids to take away the influence of parents and give kids the power is very revealing.
All of media is owned by him and his minions, they put their pyramid symbolism, one eye symbolism, cube symbolism, etc... etc.. ON EVERYTHING. The only people who have eyes to see it and hear it are those who know the Lord Jesus Christ.
You are by default, made to knee jerk negatively whenever someone mentions faith or Jesus... you are in effect, the brainwashed, while believing Christians are... this entire economic collapse is to bring about the rise of the beast system. Nobody will buy or sell without his mark and what is happening today, is conditioning you for that.
GOOD NEW!
Christ died for our sins, we don't have to go down with this ship... and look around people... it's sinking FAST.
1 Corinthians 15 1-4
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Sounds right for humor in other times
You forgot random words.
my humor is a vegetable falling out of a pan...
@Tanrahk12 basically :3
The first, third and fourth things in that list (absurdism, contrarianism, referential humor) are byproducts of consuming too much memes I'd say :3 and as a fellow Gen Z person, we both know the last point (existential dread) and the second point (irony) are very much a Gen Z thing as other generations don't really care about the climate, among other things, as they will not live to see all the bad outcomes anyway. Can confirm the dread is real :3
Boomer: I hate my wife
Millenials: I hate my life:

Millennials had that same irreverent sense of humor. It’s really dumb to think that’s a new thing
Seriously though, As a Millenial. I feel like i almost gave up... but Gen Z? They literally gave up and don't even put up a fight. hahahahaha ha :( ha :(
Born un 2002; I cracked a laugh so many times watching this. Our humor really does get weird
Yeah, lol
I love how Gen Z took Morbius and saw it for what it was. I'm seeing a dozen Morbius on Nintendo DS memes, and they all nail the cash grab franchise thingy so well. Give these kids some love, they are much smarter than some of the millenials of my generation at their young age.
We managed to bomb a multi billion dollar company by using sarcastic memes. And I can't believe either how out of touch in reality these old people in movie industries are
this is something Mark Zuckerberg would watch
you're going to make me spill my beans all over the place
He would, if he had Internet.
Hi Ludvix.
Want some cooked beans? They’re fresh

Quark F*ckerberg
Yes
Now that you've explained it, our whole comedic culture is unfunny and we will never laugh again. Thanks.
Big cat

That's alright.
All of this is some inside garbage and is beyond actual humor.
Go use this humor in front of a crowd and silence.
As the video says, mental illness is super high with this generation.
And to think its the easiest time to live.
Sus discussion
H
If it's not funny just laugh because you're ironicly enjoying it. You can always justify your sense of humor to others that way, but most importantly - to yourself!
10:10 "There's nothing that Gen Z loves more than changing or hating things"😂😂😂😂😂
No truer words!!
Except one:
F=ma
This has been a valuable lesson for me. I barely understand my younger friends or their ways of humor and this just made so many things make sense to me.... still doesn't make me feel like anything they say is funnier sensical, but def makes the confusion I feel less hazy
Gen z humor is essentially just being as stupid as possible, so I find it to be very relatable.
Born after the year 2000 is considered part of iGeneration (aka Generation Z/FORTNITE KIDS). It is so-called due to the technology that existed during the time of their births: iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes, Wii, etc, and the way that they are used: individualized.Zoomers! tiktokers, QuaranTEENs, Omegle kids, fortnite kids, tide pod babies, jake paulers, logan paul kids and streamer twitch kids are those born between 2001-2009 and beyond. They all grew up on the same stuff. If you want more facts check my playlists If you want more facts check my playlists on my channel. I have a video on my gen z playlist called Gen Z and why we matter watch that video and get back to me
i think people have lost intelligence allot and this is not moment for me to shine and say i'm someone smart - i'm not. i explain what i mean. in 90s when internet wasn't used so much to replace thinking people had to really use their head. nowadays if someone has a quesiton they google it. so essentially if you ask someone something they use less their head but external search engine what may as well give info that is warped and messes with their view on world. i think the overflood of information form commercials and media has changed thinking. so summarise it's like in the matrix agent smith said 1999 world is peak of their civilisation when machines started thinking for humans it's not anymore human civilisation.
@@MeelisMatt Civilization btw bozo
@@MeelisMatt Nailed it. People do not critically think anymore, they look to outside sources because they are lazy, or they see them as "authoritative", when anyone can set up something. Pair that with most authoritative media from both sides of any argument being subverted, and few being impartial or fact based, and you have a bunch of young adults, teenagers and children who only believe what they are told by a small group of society. People who do engage in deeper thought either repeat something that would have been considered surface level a few decades ago, or they are shunned because they make people who love meaningless entertainment feel uncomfortable.
@@TheLastMillennials What about minecraft?

@cowsandcows imagine a monkey falling being considerated an artistic critic to our society, that would be really funny
Explaining Gen Z humor is like explaining a Lovecraftian Horror it's unexplainable and indescribable
Imagine we become so immature, future kids get tired of us and become really mature then when they get old future future kids get so bored they become immature and it goes on like that...
I'm 33 and I connect so much with the youngsters' humor, it's so much more my cup of tea than what I grew up with. The world is weird and sometimes dark, and the humor should recognize that :) Irony is the best medicine for this strange place. Some meme stuff reeeeally sucks though, and when it does, it's painful to have it repeated for months on end, lol. When I was young, people were like quoting Borat for months on end, and now the joke is about people quoting Borat, that's some real humor! People also used to love shit and pee when I was young, I never really got the feeling for that stuff haha, no matter my age.
Meme culture is the weirdest and most fascinating thing to observe.

In short, young people have always enjoyed existential absurdity.
Well said 👏👁
Not really
Pretty much, but now that you've said it it's completely irrelevant and no longer funny
no
Well yes but actually no. I think that's true to an extent, but gen Z is the first generation to have had access to the internet to such a degree at such a young age, so while millenials like myself probably did make a lot of absurdist humor (I still do, but that's beside the point), the internet has amplified that many times over for Gen Z (and arguably younger millenials).
BLESS YOU FOR CREDITING THE BACKGROUND MUSIC, you're a life saver
Thanks, this video IS gen Z humour. I laughed all the why through it, especially when the video title "beans" came up.
I'm a Gen Z and even I dont understand why im laughing so much at *E*
Edit: wow I didn't expect that comment to blow up LMAO
*e*

When the E is sus lol 😳
The only thing I think you missed is how memes are often used as sort of massive inside jokes where it only makes sense if you are already aware of the multiple memes contributing to the punchline. Many layers of irony and niche references just compound into more incomprehensible and absurd variations (absurd = funny). I really do think every gen z has experienced a meme that is totally incomprehensible even to their peers but is absolutely hilarious to them and few others living in that specific microculture of the internet.
in short, you have to have been on reddit for at least a month to get it
@@alterrush5930 No, it's a lot more personable. When you have close friends that share the same wild humor as you. Then the connection means that much more. Coming from someone whose seen both gen z and millennial humor. I enjoy both types of humor, but Gen Z humor does overblow some jokes by bass boosting it. Which I personally find aggravating.
@@WW-fn7rt I don't mind the distortion/bass boosting if it's subtle. It's just that annoying, ear-drum shattering nonsense that you were talking about that I can't stand.
spot on
Is this loss?
This man predicted both Quandale Dingle and Morbius 💀
This hole video is honestly hilarious. A deep dive into the _psychology_ of _our humor._ I love this video and how you really take a subject like this and make it like a medical school essay.
Your inability to spell is so Gen Z.
gen Z humor is like covid, widely spread and constantly evolving
sadly there's no cure for our humor
And stupid to catch it.
@Basedkov same
And exceptionally lethal because legions of idiots keep spreading it
Vaccinated people spread it..read about: same viral charge!
I think another force causing Gen-Z memes to become incomprehensible is the desire for exclusive humor. If a corporation's media department can figure out your meme, they can run it.
Yeah exactly, we're all sick of others with an agenda crashing the party. In a world where people are constantly exposed to advertising, we just want to enjoy a private giggle.
yeah, if a corporation touches something, it's like they smoked a cigarette on your couch. it might have only happened once, but the stench is gonna stick around, and you can smell it from a ling ways off
Nowadays templates are frowned upon by any decent shitposter, i used to frequent r/dankmemes 3 years ago, for a while it was a pretty cool place but after the big chungus and ugandan knuckle thing it was filled with karma whores, kids, people that needed more love feom their parents or worse a combination of all, those people just found any template and started pumping out similar jokes that were in previous places, stuff like fortnite bad and breathtaking.
But go to a place like discord and you'll find in smalled channels the ideal meme environment, where the one or two shitposters of the server decide what does and doesn't survive, then those small servers share thus creating a survival pf the fittest type of situation where a united hivemind decide doesn't decide but instead some random dudes that stare at that stuff all day, some even make stuff thenselves and it ends up viral
Ironically, they're so desperate to be special snowflakes their memes end up looking like something a bot or algorithm churned out.
there are exceptions just like kfc, they figured out not how to use a meme, but how to make shitpost (at least in the Spanish twiter account).
Well, two years later and this video is still relevant. You pretty much nailed the framework
Gen Z humour seems to be defined by that fact that humour comes from subverting jokes. So it’s funny to a Gen Z when a joke isn’t funny, or has no punchline
Hence why a lot of memes died fast.
As a gen Z, I am ashamed at the fact that I laughed at every single example shown used to illustrate our nonsensical humor, as well as cringed at the missusage of said humor in the outro.
You, sir, clearly knew what you were doing and know your shit. Good job.
You don't know of the Dokter.
@@israelosilva I can't tell if this is obvious bait or you're just a sad human being
Geriatric millennial here, still laughed
Why are you ashamed?
@@Forcoy My entire humour has essentially been broken down as something absolutely nonsensical, where the presenter didn't laugh once. It made me feel a bit dumb, hence the feeling "shame". This feeling, however, isn't a bad feeling. I used the term "ashamed" the same way that you would say that you want to kill yourself for looking for your phone by using your phone's flashlight, or by saying orgasm instead of organism
So logically, whatever generation comes after Z should be normal humor again because that's the only logical direction to go from counter culture.
I sure hope so.
I doubt it. The next generation you speak of is being raised by Millennials.
@@eliteteamkiller319 The future seems bleak then
The next generation will be raised by phones more than we'd even already assume

Great video! Entertaining and enlightening. I'm a millennial, and feeling older all the time. This clarified things for me, but I just about that Gen Z humor will still largely be just annoying to me, even if I get it. I think this is just what life is like when you're approaching 30.
Im approaching 30, and its hilarious to me. But then again random, wierd, and meta humor was always funny to me.
the xue hua piao piao joke was so funny for me as someone who was born in china. it was hilarious watching a bunch of white kids in my class yelling butchered Chinese across the oval
💀💀
It’s the same as about 10 years ago when the Tunak tunak song became a meme, and bunch of white millennials would quote that and much earlier like 15 years ago Punjabi MC songs became a meme too. Same concept but different execution.

Funnily enough, now that this video is 2 years old, the dead memes he featured in this video are now ironically funny again, therefore making it not be obsolete.

Did you have to come swinging at us gen z that hard?
2022 and this is still accurate enough, good work dude.
I think the humor broke entirely... I watched this, as a Gen Z, to figure out how the hell our brains work... I still don't entirely get it, but it seems like counterculture, irony, and shock factor are our most potent sources... But why does a 144p rat spinning faster than entirely necessary send me down the stairs tho?
the rat will be off to college next year and that's one of his coping mechanisms
Because it's funny

I don't think people realize how far gen z has transcended comedy as an artform, it's gotten to the point where a rat spinning to free bird at 240p can damage the lungs of multiple gen z'ers.
does a video like that exist ????
I don’t think that’s transcendent. More like diluted comedy as an art form.
@@TromboneConductor767 i mean its not like we cant enjoy normal jokes also so i dont think its deluded
@@nacrid2314 Fair enough but this is what you see all over the internet.
And just for the sake of clarity, I don’t mean deluded as in delusional, I mean diluted like when you water down alcohol for example.
@@TromboneConductor767 I think you're right, I didn't mean transcendent in that it's better or worse, simply that it's moved past what might've been traditionally funny 10 years ago. Not everyone gets it, but not everyone found Seinfeld funny either. I think so many of us are so dead inside that anti-comedy is the new meta.
This is a truly fascinating insight. My thanks, Mr. Sweet for having helped me to better grasp the sense of humor of this century. To think that of all things, absurdism would have such enduring longevity. although I suppose its poetic in some manner, that of all forms of comedy, it is absurdism that should outlive us all.
I was born in 1984. Call me immature, but I find Gen Z humor hilarious. I died when the word "beans" just randomly appeared on the screen. 5:55
I love it too! I may be 17 years younger than you, but I’m still old enough to buy alcohol… and guns… and uh… vote
beans arefunny?
@@shadowchasernqlbeans are funny. 4th meal beans are funnier
Literally 1984.
At that part of the video, I was just surprised to hear the music Casin.
Considering Gen Z has been actively bullying a media corporation for making a dog shit movie, but their sense of humor is so skewed that the corporation actually took it as praise and re-released the movie only to bomb again really shows how much humor has changed.
What movie?

Nice analysis! Cool to see it broken down. I don’t know if I feel like there’s nothing I like more than hating things though-
As for somebody who is born in 1993, I thank you for this video. I no longer have headaches when I hear those ghastly/mean spirited memes. I am more accepting of them, yet teach those that are willing to listen, that there are limits/lines that should not be crossed.
"you would breathe out of your nose slightly and that's enough for them" is a level of humor I wish to achieve in my lifetime

You hit the nail on the head, Sir.
I've seen the rise of "ironic humor" through the years and hadn't thought about the rejection aspect.
Baring your thoughts makes you vulnerable to criticism, something that doesn't happen when you only pretend to like something, or say you like something because it's awful.
With internet access becoming ubiquitous, you have a potential critic hiding everywhere. It doesn't help that many don't know or care how hurtful they can be (or even go out of their way to be as hurtful as possible).
Which means that ironic humor acts as a way of defending yourself from possible attacks from anyone.
As a Gen Z, I can't wait to see how complex Gen Alpha's comedy will be

@@Furiends Sounds like absolute hell.
Bet you don’t even breed rare fish
@Skynet I find this to be "boomer" rage. What Gen Z is more than past generations is they're all exposed to the world for ridicule. I was watching porn when I was 11 years old. I'm not Gen Z. It's easy from afar to judge "degeneracy" and now more than ever its easy to do. Need I remind you that Boomers salivated over an underage pop singer all through the 1990s? My opinion is that things have gotten better. It's much harder to pimp sex workers since they can create their own onlyfans. I do think the overall obsession with attention can be poisonous and cause a lot of stress but honestly this is the stupid world Boomers created. We're in late stage capitalism where you must stand out or die.
Best of luck to you and your boy
I was a teenager in the 90s and this video could have been describing our humor then (minus the internet and speedy propagation). I don't think youth humor is changing so much, it's the tools for sharing that affect its evolution.
Literally just the word “beans” showing up on the screen made me audibly laugh
ngl same 💀
Your comment about it made me audibly chuckle

That's because beans have and always will be funny. Potatoes had their moment, and there may be other foods that we laugh at in the future, but we'll always go back to beans
🙄
I started laughing hysterically at Hagrid in the water. Maybe Gen Z humor is broken.

It is broken
the black screen with the word beans was the funnies meme you showed.
The loud equals funny is not always funny since it’s a gag as old as TH-cam poops. It’s only funny when it’s random and unpredictable, when it’s predictable it loses the funny aspect because zoomers are a generation who have seen too much and therefor can form and see through patterns very fast.
Also if the sound is vaguely nostalgic like a vine boom it helps, also worth noting that it’s a generation that has become self aware too soon, as people are already nostalgic from 2014/2016

that comment is a gen z joke in itself
That BLOCK made me laugh ngl
it do be like that ;)
Hey! That song is the only polish I know
The fact that he did the “comically large spoon my friends” at the end as like a joke intentionally trying to be as out of touch sounding as possible by misusing a joke that is has already been popular twice was funny in its own right. But adding in the sense of intimacy with “my friends” and the sheer randomness of considering the phrase without the context of the meme was enough to legitimately make me laugh. Like “haha” out loud type laugh. I hate that it managed that

I am a genZ guy and all you said in this video is totally true and totally concerns me as a member of this generation
the thing is most of us don't like our own sense of humor, but still laugh at a waffle falling over with the sound of a reverbed fart anyway
just reading this made me chuckle, cuz i imagined it in my head
it pains me that i am aware of the exact video you are referencing
This hit a little too close to home
I think it's less most of us don't like it but that we're encouraged to not like it by people who don't understand it, which makes us hate our own humor even if there isn't anything actually wrong with it
just you bro
So gen Z essentially are non conformists conforming to non conformity. That hasn't been done before. That was a good synopsis, well done and bravo.
I'd say they're conformists attempting to avoid the inevitable conformity and monotony of their existence.
@@jeb419 man I just wanna be happy

The fact this video was 3years ago dam
while in three weeks this video became obsolete, now it's kind of relatable again
Don’t forget the major cultural shift and craziness we grew up with. I think the reason our humors so out there is because the walls are closing in.

the walls are closing in and we have nowhere left to go to. we are told to just smile so we laugh at our own agony

yo same wtf
the internet has genuinely broken me
I think the existential dread part is the most important. All news and information online is presented as extremely important, cause it’s all fighting for 10sec of your attention span. When everything “matters” then nothing does. What’s an important factor or worth remembering stops having any differentiation from the rest of the 24/7 info dump. Thus all information just falls into the void of meaninglessness. That’s why both everything and nothing is funny, cause whats humor anymore?
I'm among the oldest Millennials and I totally relate. I've spent my life seeing this becoming a bigger and bigger problem. I find myself just 'shutting down' way too often because of information overload. Everything is presented as OMG MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER GOTTA CLICK GOTTA CARE GOTTA PROTEST GOTTA CONTRIBUTE TO MY PATREON. I can barely imagine what it would be like to be born into this sheer chaos and be expected to make any sense of it.
so it's basically the end stadium of ramped nihilism, got it. It's so self pitying and kinda pathetic to be honest.
"When everyone is super, no one will be." - Syndrome, _The Incredibles_
"When everything matters, nothing does." - Jireh, comment section of Mister Sweet's "Why is Gen Z Humor So Weird?"
Both of these statements are true and poignant...and honestly, it's starting to scare me how fast we're heading towards those cliffs, among many, many others.
Don't ask me how we're going off scores of cliffs at the same time. Shit stopped making sense back around 2017.
It's nihilism. What matters anyway. Cure is to find values that actually matter beyond the scope of what many people think matters. It will be interesting if religion will start to be adopted more to fill in that void young people are feeling now as they start to crave meaning.
@@rpgcraftsman520 agreed i graduated then from hs and had a real ambition and now everything is either cringe or ironic, nothing actually feels real. I stuck through my undergraduates but man, I am afraid of the world now and my lifes been exactly the same since 2019 when I finished college 2 yrs.
