manchildren syndrome mixed with amerimutt superiority complexes, quite the deadly combination to any soul, assuming they have any
it's the equivalent of that one teenager that thinks they are a mature adult for playing GTA:SA and smoking without their parents knowing but on a cultural scale
or at least, that was how it was until like the mid 10s, these days it's even worse due to an aversion of appearing emotionally vulnerable due to again, what is effectively bullying people out of their hobbies on a cultural scale, resulting on a mass plague of irony armor to shield the self from criticism by saying you only like things "ironically" and are "guilty pleasures" because your REAL taste is mature cultured things like REAL BOOKS (of which they never read any)
nowadays people are so deep into the irony opium addiction that they don't have personalities anymore, they have a status symbol persona they protect from societal bullying by agreeing with the consensus, they can and will suddenly turn on something they used to love and trash it until they actually start hating it just for that sweet whiff of crack known as "dopamine from being accepted by other normalgroids"
this is made even worse by the fact for whatever reason the west abandoned the idea of separating the public self with your private hobbies, so they are wagies wanking mature cultured shit even in the comfort of their solitary bedrooms
