We are very tired and dead inside and have been since 2008 and everyone hates us for no reason
Help
humans are cringe, it's inescapable. You are born, you live for 10-12 non-cringe years, then you have about 18 years of pure cringe followed by 40 years of working at an insurance company until you die.
Gen Z is lucky they didn't have a seemingly nice future to look forward to, they've always known pain and have the luxury of not knowing a time without it.
Everyone is cringe in some way. I'm a teeny tiny child zoomer unlike all of you dinosaurs, but zoomers are cringe as well. The word cringe is cringe. Dont worry about being cringe, just don't become boomers
Pretty much. I'm actually kinda looking forward to when the gen alphas will make fun of us for our cringe, I'm sure it will be funny
Me being born in the last year of gen X Phew, guess I dodged that bullet
Don't worry, the climate wars will crush our bodies into a fine paste too
When someone in a baseball cap is calling you cringe, you know it’s over
i'd say my hopes and dreams are more the consistency of sawdust or flour, effectively weightless and subject to the every whim of external circumstances.
aren't two or maybe even all 3 of the people in that picture firmly gen Z? Anyhow idc generations are fake and everyone is cringe
I was born close to that same year and experienced most of that. The transition from basic cellphones to smartphones a lot more than the transition from no computers to computers.
I think this might be a class thing. My household had a desktop computer when I was a toddler, but people didn’t really use them for that much. I used it to play games and taught my mom how to use it when she wanted to go back to work. I had one other friend with a computer in her house, and we ended up getting computers at school when I was in 3rd grade and had computer class. This was a private school.
I got my first cellphone in 6th grade and I think it probably had a camera but this was before cellphones had browsers and data plans. I transferred to public school in 7th grade and some kids had phones, but everyone had at least a desktop computer at home. This was the era of AIM and MySpace.
High school was when basically everyone had a cellphone, but it was the era of the Razr. By sophomore year, data plans started being more common but they were only for emergencies because it was so expensive to go over. I don’t remember if these phones were capable of connecting to Wi-Fi. A couple of people had iPhones in high school, but iPods were a lot more common. Blackberries also became very in around senior year. Also MySpace was abandoned for Facebook, but I held out until I graduated from high school.
The timeline is a lot fuzzier for me on how we transitioned from basic cellphones with data plans and shitty browsers to smartphones with apps. I guess it must have been right before college or early college where I got my first phone that didn’t have a physical keyboard. And definitely by the time I graduated, smartphones were completely ubiquitous.
Growing up in the early part of the "end of history", where the market model was boundlessly triumphant and personal prosperity was the zeitgeist?
Kinda cringe ngl
There is a time when I would have known such things. I am happy to not be that online anymore. It is a blessing.
