#gen z grew up hearing from millenials about how shit everything was. we didn't even have a chance at optimism

#when my dad would drive me to and from boarding school during breaks we would be in the car for 3 hours and talk about the same thing#almost the whole time#and one time it was just memes#we had a discussion about meme culture#and the spread of information#and how various memes reflect the general state of my generation#i didn't have the words for it then but i think the main point i managed to get across was#gen z grew up hearing from millenials about how shit everything was. we didn't even have a chance at optimism#and it reflects in a lot of the jokes. gallows humor fr#and that's something my father and people his age could never really understand. being bombarded by so much awful information so young#i remember lying in bed at night not being able to sleep at 10 years old over climate change#having a panic attack over the presidential results in 2016#apathy builds from that#and it shows in online culture#as much as it shows in real life#out of context comments
