Venting As an early 20s zoomer I feel more in common with millennials than people 3+ years younger than me

[Hoodpreet]

I’m a 2003-born, so I went to HS during the era of gay ass LA influencers (Kylie Jenner, RiceGum, the Paul brothers, etc.), Souncloud rap, and hypebeast shit. Microstimulation-oriented platforms didn’t take over till the lockdown (at which point I was already halfway through my junior year), and it felt like most people were at least somewhat extroverted, as being chronically online was looked down upon.

People born 2006 and onwards grew up with anime, alt culture, the blackpill, and (to an extent) the Dissident Right all in the mainstream. Everyone is irony-poisoned and it feels like introversion and even hyperintroversion are normalized.

To someone like me, the idea of going to middle or high school in this era feels like something totally alien. The internet when I was growing up was treated like an extension of real life, while it looks like young niggas today had/have their adolescent years entirely shaped by their for you page. It’s just crazy.

Adding to all this is that my own cohort of zoomers feels like a dying breed online. Especially in these “chronically online” spaces like the incelosphere. I guess it’s cause most of my peers have stabilized post-lockdown, formed adult social circles, and moved on, while I fell way behind, so I’m forced into the proximity of brainrotted teens. Fucking brutal

I think people in my age range (21-23) were mainly 2021-2023cels, who are mostly gone now. I assume most people on here are either oldcels or late teens

 

[Pancakecel]

I'm sure there are others here in the 21-23 age range

It’s not a mog lmao. I turned 21 two years ago and that shit hits you like a truck. You’ve run out of time to get better but you’ve got a lot of time to get worse.

Unless you’re genuinely sub-4 in looks I think late teens would be better off on .org than here. Looksmax while you can still take advantage of your developing years

I'm a 2001born and yea don't relate to zoomers my age at all, None of this faggots even know what let's play or forum is because they didn't start using the internet until 2014.

I feel more on the same wavelength as a european version of Abu bakr Al baghdadi with each day that passes more and more. To each their own.

Fellow 2001cel, same. I have nothing in common with people my age nor most of society and other generations at all

Yeah I don’t relate to most people in general either. I’m specifically talking about similarity in upbringing/formative years

Best way I can describe it, is that from the start I was never even remotely interested in the things they were interested in, but that goes for most of society actually. I don't relate and don't like the same things. Not only my age group, though they are pieces of scum too that need to be cleansed from the face of the earth for a better and less corrupted future

hard to relate with people that mog you

You’re saying this as someone my age or younger/older?

its probably the online spaces i was in when i was younger but i relate to the pre 2006 era a bit more

but i was more implying how some of these younger gen z niggas look far superior to some of the older niggas

except me for some fucking reason

Idk about the looks difference necessarily but you have an advantage just by virtue of being younger since your body is still developing. 21 onwards is where shit is more or less set in stone

I think the whole generational sub-culture thing is so contrived and annoying for these reasons. When I was in my 20s, there were still sub-cultures particularly that valued continuity across generations, sub-culture identity over age, and had a resistance to becoming a mainstream culture - completely absent nowadays. I find that fake and annoying.

In case you didn't know, I am technically a "Xennial", meaning I'm an early millennial who grew up in a time when Gen X culture was still baseline (late 80s-90s).
