it’s human nature for people to adopt it as an identity, which introduces a lot of noise to the conversation, and we lose some of our objectivity toward it, as now there’s an emotional attachment to the label itself.
I’ve noticed this in LGBQT culture as well. I’m a gay older Millenial and I’ve noticed that zoomers make their sexuality a much bigger part of their identities than qeer folks my age and older do as it becomes more accepted. For me, I don’t want to be “special”. I want absolute equality- I wish being with my boyfriend was seen as normal and ordinary.

I feel this. I’m not socially awkward, can speak in front of a crowd just fine, but my brain just can’t figure out what “flirting” actually is. I’m aware it’s a form of conversation different from normal talking that expresses attraction, but as for how it’s different, how to do it etc.
I’m in the dark and no friend of mine has been able to give a clear answer.
Electric just ain’t the same. Zoomers will never know the power of hearing your CPU revving in high gear during those intense Quake matches.
So happy I deleted my 4chan account, really helped curb my desire to kill the women I date.
It’s basically the same genre, but “Trip Hop Beats to Relax/Study To” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
You can tell the fake ones because they have no replies. The original writer just posts their story on /b/ or /r9k/ and takes a screenshot for reddit/lemmy/twitter before the thread dies
Forget stock photos, this is the real top lemmy meme
Your GenX peers wanted the same from you, as did their Boomer peers from them. One day, those same zoomer friends of yours will be confused and annoyed by their Gen Alpha friends’ slang, and the cycle will continue.
If people want to talk to me, they’re friendly and nice.
If I want to talk to people, I’m being clingy and annoying.
Simple as that
Oh fuck I can’t unsee it
