Actually a rather interesting theory.
When things are bad, they could always be worse.
Imagine things that way and be glad you don't have to deal with that shit.

That's why reality shows became so big after the 2007 crash. People desire to see people worse than themselves because it makes them feel better about themselves without having to do anything.
I don't think zombies tie into it. It's just that something became popular and people kept copying it over and over.

I miss it desu.
