social media sucks
Kids my age are literally so weird (I can say this and not be insufferable because I once used to be like this around the time of my freshman year in high school. But now I am three years older, have suffered the loss of loved ones, and have had the pleasure of maturing, looking back, and realizing how utterly stupid the whole ordeal was) like they try so hard to be different and unique that they end up not being themselves like at all and it defeats the whole purpose of them trying to be different and unique. And then they have this like serious imposter complex with all of these different so-called niche communities that they end up trying to color within certain lines anyways. Like bro just be you it’s not that hard bro just be yourself. It’s like so embarrassing seeing people trying to be edgy and on-trend and then act like they are still quirky and niche. Like YOU ARE THE NEW MAINSTREAM??? And then they also somehow have the time to judge other people for being basic like are you being deadass. No one with a life actually has a shit to give. Like the whole point of being a functional human in a society of other humans is to have a pool of interests that includes popular and unpopular things, that's what makes humans worth interacting with. Like honestly, who gives a fuck if I like Starbucks and wear Uggs and watch chick flicks, and shop at Brandy Melville and still text with my auto caps on and talk with a valley accent (I literally live in SoCal what do you expect!). Call me a basic bitch I could care less. But then I also like old music that even my parents don’t recognize and live life as a prolific film and comic nerd and use Letterboxd too often and like to bake every recipe I stumble upon and have an odd obsession with antiques and like watching ASMR of the daily tasks of pre-20th-century people. Same thing, NO ONE CARES. I think this is the result of a generation of losers combined with a seriously fucked up, distorted version of social media where everyone logs on to mindlessly scroll for hours upon hours, overshare their lives, stalk other people, hate on other people, invade other people’s privacy and spread info (true or false, it does not seem to matter anymore) like wildfire. Where people can now literally make 7 figures by being hot because they get endorsed by brand deals and pays-per-click. Where people can ruin the actual lives of others out of spite or even just boredom. Social media has become a seriously fucked up and scary place. I really wonder when it all started to go south. It used to just be a fun place to share pictures of our otherwise mundane lives and see what our real (IRL) friends are up to. Not some hub of indelible data and deformed ideas of what life should be like. IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO 2014. Anyway, I think I've had enough; people need to wake up and find ways to actually find fulfillment in life.
