i refuse to believe anybody has been born after 2003, and even that is pushing it.
I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.
“He’s old,” they said, “he must be at least fifty”.
I said “nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon”.
They had me with “no he’s like really old. He reads a newspaper”
Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”
We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.
“Give me the clip, not the VOD.” How do you do, fellow kids?
I’m not a Gen Z but how about, give me the TLDR?
I like this, I’m going to tell her about this.
Damn…
I’m Gen Z and I feel like I’d still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy…
In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.
Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.
After experiencing new media… there’s some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.
There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can’t exist all by itself unless it’s watered down or mixed in with every other preference.
Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.
“CURTAINS FOR ZOOSHA? K-SMOG AND BATBOY CAUGHT FLIPPING A GRUNT.”
Streamer on doop? Do they know Zapp?
“I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies.”
Kif!
(at least Zapp remembered how to pronounce champagne by that episode)
Why even care about those “celebrities”? Stuff they do is usually mediocre at best anyways.
and we wondered why everything was a GameBoy or a Nintendo for our parents
