I agree. Most of the celebrities in their 30s grew up with Myspace or other social networks. They used to be whiny teens on the internet. For example, the former Disney Channel stars from the 2000s. The younger stars are worse. They were children when they started to use Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
for real like u could at least ignore the disney stars if thats what u didnt really care about but my generation was still forced to endure that era now it feels like celebs or idols have much more ways to be attention grabbing whether their drama is fake or real idrc anymore. its like they are constantly pushing themselves so we have to pay attention to them and to pretend to care about their personal lives cause now everyone got some rich person they follow or obsess with even if imho they are still quite average or maybe just in need of a lot of a attention but even that seems so egoistical. i think the only celeb who doesnt need extra attention is cillian murphey he stays off the poatforms whereas all the others are online all the time which is just feeding into ppls reactions to shit we dont need to care about.
Indeed. I was referring to former Disney stars such as Britney Spears or Demi Lovato.
cause they benefit more from being in everyones faces. the ones i sometimes follow or dip in and out of seem more online than ever before i really dont get how anyones supposed to exist in their own space when we are always swayed into following them usually out of sheer boredom. at least in the 90s we could put down our very small phones and go outside more often, if we go outside nowadays everyones always online.
I agree with you. One of my relatives is sixteen years old and speaks very urban. She uses weird slang such as "lit" and other that I forgot. She tried to convenience me to be more like her. I said "No way. Your generation is worse than mine". She ranted on how my generation is offensive because we grew up with reality TV and sexist music. I told her no one will take seriously for her whining. I'm glad I stopped talking to that girl.
for real how they call the stuff we had cringe but the thing was we had time away from the internet which i think greatly helped us build our thinking capabilities whereas nowadays if u go to any platform its just pointles trying to make reasonable conversation with todays kiddos. heck i tried talking to some blogs on tumblr but even they are so quick to be offended easily if u even use a particular tone that they dont like. i literally got told by two blogs that if i used any more i guess what they thought was badmouthing certain idols then id be blocked from their blog, then another blog blocked me for critiquing their contributions to peoples unhealthy attachments of certain idols as well. so i dont get it anymore i really dont get it, they push so much into these platforms that the same toxicity keeps stirring over and over again. if there is ever a time machine u bet im going back to the 90s lol best times imho.
Indeed. I read an article from a magazine issued in 2014/2015 and it mentioned many teenagers and adults lack critical thinking because they don't read physical books (Ebooks don't count). It also explained how reading books make people more empathetic.
so true i dont remember the last time i sat down to genuinely read a whole book, probably twilight in 2008? back then we could at least put our phones down and do other things now it feels like screens are being pushed everywhere, in cars, watches, phones, fridges u name it itll have a screen. fr ppl put too much emphasis on something than the simple enjoyment of what they have to enjoy and compared to now i think pre internet times we were less bothered by the negatives of something
Phones were around before the 1900s ... not as common as in the 1900s, but they older than that.
i dont care. it doesnt resolve my issue of ppl being blatantly rude and not being able to put their phones down when someone is talking to them. yet whenever its themselves they seem to have no issue pulling it out every 5 seconds.
