still sad sagging still a thing

They try to make themselves think they're grown up, as well as trying to make themselves look the part, it's pretty homo

Culture is just a meme

Monkey see, monkey do

it's the same as every other period of 'cool' youth culture it's just that we now leave in a time of rapid exchange of information and commerce.

whereas before it would have took months, maybe even years to build an idea of 'cool', now kids can do it in days.

Pretty spot on, but I dont think it has a clear name, ive heard it being called post-hipster or tumblr kids.

Congratulations, you may be the first person on 4Chan to use that term correctly.

it annoys you because you're old and it's not the same idea of "cool" that you grew up with, just like every single new youth culture has pissed off the previous generation for decades. not that complicated.

>>12352967
>- Not so much a drug taking culture but certainly wants to imply its part of it.
why do you say this?

>>12352967
kids spend a lot of time on social media, so they invest heavily in it

everything we do to become .1% more fashionable or .1% better at a video game, they spend that time and energy getting .1% better at "social media"ing

there is a lot of nuance in shit like that, and these trends are just techniques to help them get 2 more likes per photograph and eventually "become famous"

everybody who does this shit and doesn't care about social media is just a copycat because they don't actually know anything about social media

but that's just a theory

It depends, for "normal" kids it's just whatever is the current stylish american apparel pieces

for "alt" kids it's looking sad, looking down, retro mac demarco copy catting

They're always like "omg guys I totes smoke the weeds lmao" or they're always talking about drinking lean

>>12353430
19 year old here, can confirm literally everyone does actually smoke weed, and a good number of them also pop pills and do stims and stuff regularly. the lean is probably jokes/bullshit though unless you in, like, atlanta

i'm a ""cool youth culture"" type of person and I grind up addys to snort them regularly and I buy etizolam on the internet to get fucked up on weekends, however I don't like weed because it gives me rather extreme dissociation and makes people dumb

>>12353513
same, weed isn't for me either. I prefer ketamine or acid on the weekends

>>12352967
im 20 and i dont know teebee|–|... a lot of them are devoid of personality and think liking ironic memes gives them depth of character or smug internet insider status.

It's weird seeing people who grew up in the 00s reminiscing about 90s pop culture, its not just an anachronism it's patent pretentiousness... it's all about status with these morons.

acid is terrifying, took one tab and thought the CIA was watching me through webcams
I wish I could get ketamine in burgerland

>it's all about status with these morons.
Nobody under 25 actually has a grasp on their identity, it's usually just monkey see, monkey do. Just thinking others are cool because they saw others say they're cool, and so forth.
