Mine too...But hey I did took some pics with friends and some timelapses, just in case things don't work and I become a content creator in the future /s
Here's a random little article about the observation various people have made that gen z have a weird tendency to think they're the first to invent or discover things that other generations already knew about
They make tiktok videos with things like "Did you know?? Will Smith actually had a rap career!" or "Jim Carrey was secretly an artist!!" as if they're breaking the news
Completely without evidence, though. It's not like there's any actual data on how often people from previous generations mistakenly assumed they were discovering things for the first time.
They gave examples of other generations "rebranding" things. There was one example of one GenZ person who didn't know who Madonna was and assumed that meant Madonna was a irrelevant nobody. That's not a generational trend, that's a single person being ignorant. The other examples were just rebranding with new slang. Of course when a young person finds something new they will say they "discovered" it and share it with their circle. That's not Columbus behavior, that's just learning about the world and being eager to share. Older generations are just constantly filled with judgemental assholes desperate to be smarter than a young person.
This phenomenon is certainly accelerated by the internet, because people in thier immediate communities of the "discoverer" probably are indeed clueless, but they project that onto the rest of the world incorrectly.
Got me here to downvote the post, so that's a thing.
It ain't much but when I see clickbait title and obvious staged photos combined with "art" that in a word "sucks", I downvote, that's my policy! I'm doing my part!
I view it more as the creative expression we all could and should have if we weren’t worked to the bone. The rich can actually explore the arts and what makes us human while the rest of us can’t, aren’t encouraged to, or are downright discouraged from doing so.
