I consider myself pretty hip and worldy, down with the kids. But fuck if i know what this trend is, do anyone know the term for it?

I see it as something like devil sticks, pogs or beanie babies. It's just a fun way to extract cash from young people and the young at heart, but you might look a little silly doing it.
Yeah, between that and the larping aspect of the first video, this stuff is not that hard to understand at all lol. It's not something I would have the patience to sit through for more than a few minutes or spend money on, but I get it. I hate how people in their late 20s/30s act like they're fucking ancient. Like people who say they don't get TikTok as a thing. You don't get watching videos for entertainment? Were you shocked when you heard about the Hindenburg going down in flames on the radio? Then you're not that old to be unable to get it
This second one is quite fascinating, it almost looks like CGI, as the movements are super smooth and she barely blink, quite impressive honestly. Not that I would watch more than one minute of it but hey
Ya'll can get lost with saying we're too old. Stupid is timeless.
Show me this at 22 and I would have still said it was stupid.

This post needs more love. I understand most people don't want to be in the career they are. However, I doubt many people want to beg for money on the internet by pretending to be an object while reacting ad nauseam to old men feeding them virtual hot dogs. Getting paid doesn't somehow exalt the hustle. It is interesting to see what people are doing to try surviving. It's more like a sad reflection of modern society.
Maybe you feel like you've seen her before but can't put a finger on it.
Thank you for the likes
Thank you for the follow
Thank you for the tier 3 gifted sub
Thabk you for 19 gifted subs
This is really just an extreme logical extension of paying for a Streamers attention
Props to people making money on this. Fucking exhausting to keep up

As usual though I think it evolved so now it's a general thing that people use.
Kind of like chad which started with misogynist incels but now is a general term used as a good thing.
the number of people asking me if that obviously fake video is real, context aside why would zizek be doing that, i mean, visually its incredibly obviously fake
is very worrying

I swear some of y'all have let Era threads about niche and cringe TikTok trends color your entire perception of the app and modern teenagers in general and it's fast-tracked you into early boomerism
This isn't even new, no one remembers the subservient chicken?
Or the creepier but more limited version from Bret Easton Ellis "The Devil in You"

for real. This isn't "duh Gen Alpha is ok??" this shit is millennial and at 'worst' early gen z humor. youtube poop and GMod stuff like this been around for well over 10 years.
agreed on the tiktok stuff lmao this is weird and uncomforting. especially because of the money involved.
Being a boomer has nothing to do with physical age. It's the mental mindset of thinking people are weird or stupid for liking things that you don't understand.
yeah that's what makes the "actually this is completely normal, you're just weird and out of touch for thinking this is weird!!!" posts so funny, it's like no honey, this is actually extremely weird, you're just extremely online.
Oh come on. It's stupid and it's fine to think something is stupid or weird or whatever. I'm not saying they should stop, they should have fun doing whatever they want, but I can still call it what it is and doesn't make me a boomer.
I said earlier this is no different than weirdo street performance, like mimes or living statues. Well, I think mimes and living statues are kind of stupid too!
Jugglers are awesome though. We should all agree on that.
I prefer this type of npc videos. She is super good at it.

I think one point of universality among generations is the idea of making millions of dollars for doing basically nothing. I'm honestly too scared to get on a video and do anything, and even if I wasn't, you wouldn't want to see me because I'm not attractive or talented.
So like with anything, even something stupidly weird, you gotta be good at it. There's millions of dollars in weird young people money to be made.

There will soon be more people who are familiar with Half-Life 2 from this meme than from playing Half-Life 2
Žižek tiktok live wasn't what I expected to see today.
Millennials 5 years ago: OK boomer
Millennials now: These fuckin kids and their tickingtocks
This is literally no different than when olds didn't understand livestreaming, or podcasts, or smartphones, or the internet...
These people are probably making bank too.

I dunno, man. Livestreaming, it's like a stand-in for friends in an age where people are lonely. Podcasts are like radio shows. The others are technological advancements.
This is a human deliberately acting like a Disneyland animatronic for what I assume is fetish content. This is some Paul Verhoeven shit.
I don't think these are comparable things.

You never will. People are purposefully obtuse so they can squeeze into the circle jerk of smug generational cynicism; just like their parents did when Tom Green was yelling DING DONG while squatting on a conveyor belt in a cheese sandwich factory and holding a huge salami up to his crotch and the salami sometimes touched other assembly line workers on the face.
I saw kids selling that stupid energy drink on the street like a lemonade stand. Are kids still falling for that shit, I thought that was many months ago.
