i really appreciate millennials for their contributions to culture: fandom culture, clubber culture, indie... i don't really get millennial slander from younger gen z because a lot of things they like now were created by millennials

I doodled Vermicious Knids from memory while I was zoned out in my electrodynamics class.

This is what the original illustrations by Joseph Schindelman look like. I remember breaking out in cold sweat as I read Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl late into the night in fourth grade. Vermicious Knids are extremely venomous colonising aliens that eat everything in their path, and have only spared Earth because they can’t get through the atmosphere. I haven’t seen these pictures in fifteen years but evidently my memories were vivid.

Don’t mind my late night thoughts. I should be going to bed but instead this is consuming my mind.

I have a feeling that within the next 10 years or so we’re going to see a cultural shift when it comes to specifically the “zillennial” generation. I’m talking like people born around 1995-2000. I feel like we’re going to find a lot of zillennials going back to how social media was when we were younger. Older Millennials and younger gen z are too into social media and too trusting in AI to want to get rid of it, but the zillennial group grew up with a majority of our lives surrounded by technology and were raised in the technology boom that has been going on for the past 15 years or so, but we also remember being children and what it was like before social media became such a huge part of our lives. I’ve been noticing a lot of zillennials, including myself, wanting to use computers again for social media because people miss having a physical place to go on the internet and not having it all in your pocket and consuming your entire life. Also a lot of people want old social media back (myspace, old facebook, etc.) and I feel like that’s why so many people have come over to Tumblr because the environment is drastically different as compared to literally every meta site and Elon’s god forsaken site.

I also predict that a lot of our generation will revert back to physical media. We literally don’t own anything anymore and I’m finding more and more people collecting things like CD’s, DVD’s , and video games. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost wifi and the service is so bad that I can’t even listen to spotify and I have to get out my CD’s or records to be entertained. I can’t even do anything on my TV if I don’t have wifi, if I want to watch something I have to turn on my playstation and pop in a DVD. Which, is a thought that disgusts me about myself, the fact that I won’t allow my self to be bored anymore and nobody is ever bored anymore because we’re constantly staying entertained by doom scrolling.

If you’re cool with how the internet has been going that’s great for you but I’ve been finding myself more upset with the way technology has been so prominent in our lives this past generation. I’m just so tired, tired of constantly being aware of all the bad shit happening in the world because I literally get a notification ANYTIME SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPENS. I’m tired of seeing ads everywhere and can’t even scroll social media without there being a hidden ad in a video. Just constantly being sold something. Idk this is just something I’ve had my mind on a lot lately and I’ve been craving a life I used to have. I’m just TIRED. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
