People grow up. I grow up. You grow up? maybe not, maybe yes.
The internet is a second home to society, but there are many moments when it feels like a prison of entertainment.
Because even when things suck, it's hard to quit them.
Memes, ideas, pictures of cats, fan animations, there are many things that keep me stuck to the chair and blind-type all over my keyboard.
heck, even GBAtemp is entertaining to the point i log in every day.
But a lot of times, the behavior or sense of humor of people on the internet, it's not to my taste.
Makes me wonder if i'm actually surrounded by adults or just kids.
Youtube for example, is full of videos of many varieties. there are videos which I love, and videos which I hate.
Youtube's comment sections are the real reason why I even write that blog, because watching the video is not enough for me. I wanna see other people react to it.
BUT RECENTLY, a lot of top comments have that overused meme of "(insert anything here): exists", or similar things like "Nobody: |Not a single soul: ".
And of course, overused jojo memes, "when (insert moment here), i felt that", jokes that focus on the lewd stuff, just quotes from video, and many more examples that seem to be MORE FREQUENT nowadays.
If someone told me to describe Youtube's comment section in one sentence, i'll say: "it's full of clowns". Seriously, overused jokes are NOT FUNNY, and that comes from a guy who makes puns all the time.
Even I do my best to not repeat my own puns.
The point is, the way i see things as they are, it's hard to find actual good comments, because there are too many immature people that waste my time.
Facebook might not have that many kids(at least not in my friends list), but it's filled with the most casual content, that i'm too bored to even check it. I only use it to chat with a few people.
I don't use twitter, i do have experience with Discord, and i'm mostly active on forums and Disqus threads.
I think the sole reason why i can't enjoy whatever most of these kiddos do enjoy, is because i grew to starve for originality.
If it's overused, it's either boring or annoying. If it's something that i didn't expect to see or read, chances are i'll be amused.
There are memes that them being overused is an understatement. it's like there's a HUGE culture behind a single meme.
I played Undertale when it came out, enjoyed the heck out of it, and did all the routes. it's one of my favorite indie games.
quite a few months later, it gained huge popularity. the fandom evolved and split into healthy and unhealthy portions, and it's a really long story.
NOWADAYS? even people who aren't undertale fans, are enjoying memes about sans(or as they call him, "sans undertale").
It makes me even more annoyed when Undertale's worldwide success took further steps and had crossovers with other games, since all these kids keep going "sans" this, "sans" that.
Sans the Skeleton is super overrated, and people treat him like a god. This is dumb. I hate this.
Other memes like the Fortnite default dance, anything earrape, dabbing, "yeeting", these just reek of quality.
I'm really just ranting, but it's really a matter of accepting that this is what the new kids like.
To be honest, outside EOF, i barely see these type of things on this forum. I guess that's why I still enjoy being here.
