People clowning the death of millennial culture brings me joy
See the millennial burger joint and related content trending on tiktok. Shit like:
Watching the office and friends like it's a personality trait
Lumineers-style stomp-clap music, sort of folk revival stuff
Pop art that looks like it was designed by Shepard Fairey
Loopy letters on wedding invitations and tattoos
Ugly tattoos in general
Lame social media trends like talking about how much you love bacon or coffee
"Keep calm and carry on"
Inoffensive but soulless taste in dress and decor
/r/malefashionadvice style of dress, for both genders. Lots of flannels
Trying to create or reclaim culture in changing times and poor economic circumstances by glorifying a small town/country aesthetic, but without community or religion
Think Barnes & Noble home decor circa 2010. Gen z has its own problems, and there were some subcultures popping off at the time, but I confidently feel that the post-recession 2008-2015 years will be seen in the same way we look at sixth/seventh century southern Europe or the late Roman empire, a minor cultural dark age.
