    I don’t if it’s just me but a lot of weirdness was then part of various subcultures, especially music ones. Now it has been decoupled from those onto tiktok. Not saying good or bad.

      That’s how I try to keep things in perspective, by saying - was I any different?

      Yes I think it’s all stupid and annoying, literally everything about tiktok which the kids are soooo involved with, minecraft, fortnite, however they’re dressing these days. Stupid and annoying, all of it.

      But hey there was a time when my dig-pet was the most important thing I owned, my beanie babies were “an investment”, could easily play Halo for 12 hours straight, I wore giant jnco jeans with chains on them, and listened to Limp Bizkit.

      So, was I any different? Nah, it’s the same.

        Accepting cringe in ya is a king move.

        It isn’t only about teen age riot and craze. A lot of grown-ass people can’t take a step back and look at themselves. Plentiful car stickers, for once, may look more childish than any emo blog from the 00s would’ve ever been.
