The Zoomer generation is covering the middle of their mugs with their hands in an attempt to keep their faces out of the picture while still (sort of) appeasing their parents. Here’s why.
Apologies for NY Post link but interesting phenomenon
I remember being bullied in to taking christmas pictures or whatever when I was a kid. Put on uncomfortable clothes, get in the car, drive to, i shit you not, an actual photo studio in like sears or something, spend a bounded infinity being told to smile over and over again until the adults decided I'd met their bizarre standards.
I hated it, my siblings hated it, i assume my parents hated it, all to create a picutre of a smiling happy family to send around to all the other smiling happy families in exchange for their equally artificial professional photos.
Sounds like the easy solution here is to stop bullying kids in to being in photos they don't want to be in.

Aslo - if a millenial is no writing this bullshit about the zoomers i hope something comedically bad happens to them. We had to live with this bullshit for twenty years and the media only stopped when the zoomers finally got old enough to bully.
