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
Because standing still and smiling for sterile, posed photos for 5 minutes is fucking annoying, especially when people become irritated because you won’t or can’t smile big enough or look happy enough for their precious photos.
I don’t give a fuck about the fake generational wars or whatever. But millennials and everyone older seem to be whipped into wanting everything to look so perfect. And for the record, I am a zoomer and none of my friends or colleagues are interested in these big group photos outside of a couple during an even, and usually they have no problems with it being imperfect. Everyone else is obsessed.
A few photos make sense, but how does anyone feel any sort of emotion from a dozen of these fake ass photos? I would be completely okay if you candidly took photos of me falling asleep on the couch or looking silly while biting a piece of food because there’s at least some authenticity there.
