    The media is creaming itself over this occurring because when people don't know something, when they feel out of touch with the world, they seek an explanation somewhere.

    That somewhere is going to be the only people talking about it, and that's the establishment media.

    And that's how they suck more and more of them into their sphere as aging occurs. The more they feel they don't know, the more they rely on the establishment media to ""inform"" them.

    It'll happen to the zoomers in 15-25 years too.

      I also have a gut feeling that media desperately wants to have more delineated generational cohorts so advertising can make money again
