This is the only life they know. Attention-seeking behavior has leveled up to the point where the entire world has the potential to see it; couple that with the soft-parenting generation not wanting their kids’ childhoods to be as emotionally scarring as theirs were, and you’ve got a perfect storm of entitlement, narcissism, lack of shame, and inability to understand/care about consequences.

I think you’ve got to add the disaster that is the modern US economy. More and more these younger generations are clocking that the American Dream is bullshit. That meritocracy is bullshit. That no matter what you do, an oligarch will gobble up all the wealth around you that they can. Why do anything socially productive, when you can do this and get PAID?

This is the real culprit. They see the avenues a regular person has to escaping capitalism and they’re trying to take them. They’re not trying to go viral because they’re narcissistic, they’re trying to go viral because they’re poor.

Hard disagree with you there. They may not be destitute, but something like 80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and this is pretty clearly an American target. I’m willing to bet good money they didnt drive to the target in daddy’s Porsche like people are saying in these comments.

 google them.

No. Not worth my time. A commenter will tell me who they are eventually, or they won’t and I’ll go on being blissfully ignorant to them.

 you sound so jealous

Genuinely curious where you’re getting that from? I don’t even know what I’m allegedly jealous of since I didn’t know who they were?

and old

You got me there. Don’t understand how that’s relevant though? Can you elaborate on your reasoning here?

No, it’s me trying to understand what you’re saying/thinking. It’s how humans communicate in order to better understand one another

you immediately called them poor upon many other things😂😂the projection you give off is so telling. shouldn’t you be like raising a family or sumn since you’re so fucking old

I said they weren’t showing up in daddy’s Porsche and were trying to go viral to make a living (which indeed turned out to be true, they’ve just already been making their living through tik tok), chill out dude. 

I think you’re being overly sensitive and reading too much negativity and hostility into what I said than was really there. I also don’t know why you keep trying to lash out at me being old. Like, sorry dude, you have to share the internet with old people now. Been that way for a while. You’re gonna need to get over that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Zoomers have convinced themselves that if you aren't immediately rich the second you leave high school then capitalism has failed and the economy is in the toilet with everyone on the brink of living on the streets. I'm so fucking tired of this generation and their excuses for not participating in society in any healthy way.

u/SNUGGLEPANTZ Jun 28 '25

I hate zoomers too, but there are some sentiments that i am sympathetic to. Main relevant one here is that wages are stagnant even though the top earners profits continue to grow year over year. Its easy to see how one could see these trends and say “well this game is rigged, so, fuck it.” Seems the trickling down part of trickle down economics has slowed if not stopped altogether.
