This guy got that ohio skibidi rizz.

You know it's interesting how in touch I am considering how out of touch I am. I want to be a part of the cultural zeitgeist so I can get jokes, and talk to people, and generally be alive and understand what's going on in the world, but at the same time it's truly exhausting. I dunno, I think as I've understood how much "the culture" is just pioneered by like, some 12 year old somewhere brainlessly chaining nonsense words together, the more I find myself wanting to disengage. See, and then, that's not even real, because "the culture" no longer exists. You get viral memes that are spewed forth on their ability to masquerade as "the culture" without actually being it. I'm sure some stupid kid somewhere talks like they're a terminally online brainrotted weirdo, and that kid should probably stop being on the internet, but to say that this stupid kid is "the culture", is false. This isn't the case.

Everyone just collectively hallucinates some fake thing in their head that they can be mad or find funny or both. There is no "culture" anymore. There's just a bunch of atomized communities who independently do whatever they do, and then somehow everyone has cultural osmosis knowledge of a mr beast video because they know someone who knows someone who watches it and they have to have an opinion on everything. I want the ride to stop, I want to get off! I want the ride to stop now! I would like to go back to rage comics please!

As an autistic man in his early 20s, I've never been "with it" and I don't want to. I just live my life and enjoy it.

I'm kind of the same, but I like to study what "it" is, you know? what even is "it"? And I still don't know.

Thanks, you just summarized my feelings about this in two paragraphs.

Also rage comics were the golden age. :-D
