    Between anti natalist edge, people not knowing when it's okay to be openly horny and lol random Shrek posting I truly feel like I'm back in Jr. High and Jr. High fucking sucked.

          It's been like that for a while here, I've given up on any serious political discussion since this place has settled into a "kids shitposting" zeitgeist

              Be as serious as you want. I'm just really sick of the Shrek memeing or any other really repetitive gag being overdone while adding nothing to it to actually make it funny. It's just annoying.

                  Honestly it's the anti natalists and lack of horny mindfulness gets my goat way more, but rule of three. I just find the Shrek thing annoying and juvenile

                      Yeah, the rest was a bit hyperbolic but the anti natalists thing is legit weird and bad.

                  Shrek came out when I was ten and at any time they needed to put on a movie to shut the kids up for a while it would be Shrek every damn time. This along with years of kids repeating lines ad nauseum. The ironic Shrek meme thing has its time in like 2012, just let it die.

                      It was like when it rained during lunch breaks so going outside wasnt an option or whatever. Stuff like that.

              it's less individuals being un-serious and more that there are obvious hot-button topics that a significant portion of the userbase doesn't have the ability to approach without going full blast "found a liberal on reddit" incoherent. It's not worth discussing some stuff because you'll just end up fending off bad faith arguments, so we're basically just a meme aggregator.

          I'm not entirely sure what the Zoomers are doin, but the kids seem mostly alright.

        Yeah it's really weird. I'm in my early 20s and the latest events have me feeling too old for this lol. Last time we did a survey 25% of people were under 18, soooo yeah....

        :yea:

          Yeah, I'm 30 and it feels like the general crowd has gotten younger and I'm feeling very too old for it.

                Yeah, they must really be suffering right now, feeling like they're on a website filled with their kids. But at least we added minion emotes for them, right?

                  They probably feel validated that 90s music has had a pretty long resurgence.

                    Just wait until the young millennials/older zoomers bring back 2000s music and fashion, now that would be something.

                    spoiler

                    It's going to be absolute shit lol

                      It's happening now. It wasn't good them and still isn't. I also don't like any pop music last the 80s for the most part so there's that.

                        I mean the early 2000s had the pop punk craze but even that can be iffy sometimes. I'm more concerned about the shitty fashion coming back, holy shit what was everyone wearing back then?

                          Depends on when. Normal people looked more or less the same. Pants tightened and the polo shirt bro became a thing. The whole emo craze was there but adults probably aren't gonna dress that way super hard and everyone ready wants to pretend to be goth. Post 2005 fashion hasn't changed all that much really.

        Oh shit, now it's funny. That was the exact right amount of times to spam Shrek garbage for me to like it.
