No, dude, I’m talking about real life, other kids from high school to college I was “friends” with for a while (really, we were mostly just degenerates using each other to escape the threat of aloneness, loneliness, having to be alone with our own consciousnesses and be at peace with ourselves, or perhaps even develop some hobbies or skills in that free time, instead deciding to latch onto some “friends” to always hang out with but mostly just as an excuse to smoke weed or get drunk then get tasty takeout food). Like actually using:
>cap
>no cap
>that’s lit
>this shit is fire
>clapping them cheeks
>sliding into them walls
>smoking a J
>smoking an L
>that zaza
>dap me up bro
>this song’s a bop
>you’re acting like a fucking incel bro, are you an incel?
>bet
>sus
>that’s gonna be a yikes from me, dawg
>bugging
>tweaking
>bussin
>cook (“Let bro cook”, “Damn, he cooked on that one”, etc.)
>dank
>:skullemoji:
ETC.
Whether in real life, real spoken word, or in text messages, and entirely unironically and sincerely.
I KNOW that online there’s a culture of some people very self-consciously, self-aware-ly, ironically and jokingly using such slang, that’s not what I’m talking about, I get it.
I mean the actual brainfried zoomers and younguns talking like this for real and YES, OK, CALL ME A FUCKING UNC INCEL CHUD whether the fuck. But I intrinsically find it offputting and irritating. Not simply for the words themselves, the slang used, but just the whole WORLDVIEW and MINDSET behind it. Of social-media-addiction, being enamored with it, normalization of mental illness and being a failure at life, shallow casual disrespect of various traditions and institutions (however much depth there might be behind them, and I even say this as someone who doesn’t belong to any one single mainstream traditional religion, for instance), and obsession with sex and drugs, or, as a counterpart to the section of zoomers that normalizes failure at life/mental illness, obsession with “making fat stacks” of cash, “hustling”, super-materialistic vapid obsession with outward status and success.
Does any of this make sense?
Dude, when it boils down to it, it’s not really even so much hatred or anger. Maybe I feel that as a superficial response, and I play it up to be entertaining on 4chan. But, behind it, the even deeper underlying feelings are sadness, pity. The feeling of something that’s been lost. The feeling of a whole generation of people put into some insane social experiment, some hyper-curated, hyper-technological, unnatural, bizarre and artificial environment created by things today from smartphones, the internet, social media and Big Tech platforms to, say, even vaped weed and nicotine like I mentioned.
Like, the better part of me knows, I’m not angry at you, I don’t hate you. It’s not helpful to just hate vast swathes of humanity. It’s more sadness.
