I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.
"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".
I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".
They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"
Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”
We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.
"Give me the clip, not the VOD." How do you do, fellow kids?
Damn...
I'm Gen Z and I feel like I'd still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy...
We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.
"Give me the Reader's Digest condensed version."
"How does what a reader eats have anything to do with this? and why would we need a condensed version of that diet description?"
oh god, I'm old.
Primary school age children are horrible at guessing age. One time when I was 16 a group of 6 year olds estimated I was 40. And I don't look old, a few weeks ago, I got carded buying beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.
About a decade ago my employer had an intern present their findings from analyzing some survey data. One of the findings was this:
"People who answer surveys are really old. Like really old. Like thirty."
I don't regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it's always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.
The fact that 'influencer' is a legitimate job title is proof that humanity is doomed.
They aren't some symbol of the end times or anything, they're just a symptom of the sort of attention based economy we've built up here in America. They exist precisely because you can get paid to shill products while playing Minecraft.
If we reign in the marketing and advertising industries then influencers will fall alongside them.
Or, if we regulate "proper" ads and fail to do the same to influencers, whether on purpose or not, then they will become a primary source of advertising. Depending how this is handled could be a good or bad thing.
This.
The TV stations around me are desperate to attract the young viewers, so they always have influencers as guests on their shows and what not, and I simply do not get it.
Today's guest: Billy Bobberson.
What's he famous for? Oh he posts some selfies on Instagram daily and every other post is a sponsored brand promo.
Why the fuck do people even follow influencers like this???
Streamer on doop? Do they know Zapp?
“I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies.”
Kif!
(at least Zapp remembered how to pronounce champagne by that episode)
In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.
and we wondered why everything was a GameBoy or a Nintendo for our parents
"CURTAINS FOR ZOOSHA? K-SMOG AND BATBOY CAUGHT FLIPPING A GRUNT."
Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
I love that yours is entirely real but it feels just as fake as the entirely fake one you are replying too 🤣
I'm 29 so maybe I'm too young for this statement but if you ask me it's because younger celebrities tend to be the result of nepotism and don't have any actual talents.
My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using "sigma" instead of "cool" now?
"That's so sigma, bruh."
The fuck?
'The fuck" is now "what the sigma" at least that's what I gathered from lurking on shitposting communities
Edit: and I'm deeply afraid of using it around people who don't know what that means. And also around people who do know what it means.
50% of what Gen X thinks is zoomer slang is actually jokes at zoomer slang's expense
Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.
After experiencing new media...... there's some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.
There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can't exist all by itself unless it's watered down or mixed in with every other preference.
Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.
I used to work at a hikers' hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, "He doesn't smoke weed. He's old, like in his 40s." He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol
"We are the first to do this." -every young cohort going back through time
"The young ones are lacking conservative quality that we had" - Every old cohort going back through time
Ah the duality of humans :p
They're lucky not to know, doop fell hard off after it was acquired by Skoot Corp.
I'm still so mad at the Skoot Corp CEO for that ridiculous re-skeet where they memed the javalina charrp boys on doop.
Am I having the stroke? Or is everyone else?
As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.
Why even care about those "celebrities"? Stuff they do is usually mediocre at best anyways.
Listening to what their interests are is a good way to connect with much younger (or much older!) people. I'll happily listen to a kid explain Fortnite to me, or my to grandpa talk about his favourite TV show. I'll ask them some questions about it and get a conversation going.
I mean, are they materially worse than Paris Hilton and Kimberly Kardashian? Or the Jersey Shore crowd? I'm not here to judge.
But I didn't really follow them when I was age-appropriate to care about that shit, anyway. Was too busy reading blogs about the newest feature list of an up-and-coming MMORPG or tearing through the latest edition of my favorite TTRPG, because I was focused on what truly mattered.
At some point, its not an age thing, its just a taste thing. I could probably name more web comix artists and indie board games than C-list celebrities and Reality TV shows, and that's fine.
I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.
It's the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as "recent".
Still, you can't tell me that Harry Potter movies didn't happen in the last ten years.
Well and here we are! I don't even know if peeble and doop are real places online or she just made it up to make a point 😆
I used to be really into new music. Now I have 10 bands I listen to and just hope they keep releasing new albums.
I used to be really into standup. Now people mention it and all I can think to say is "Kyle Kinane is still doing comedy, right?"
I used to be really into movies. The newest I've seen recently is the Bob's Burgers movie.
But hey, at least I'm ignoring a lot of my hobbies these days!
I feel seen.
There's a whole lot of people who are basically famous with being famous...
