Genuinely and speaking in the kindest way: I think what you consider culture has aged out. Youth culture does exist, but has simply changed in a way that no longer appeals to your definition of culture. It’s also covered in the news, see: the Astroworld crowd crush. There’s new terminology (bussin, deadass, bet, etc.), new aesthetics (cottagecore), and new music consumption (the rise of kpop). And my knowledge is likely a older now (the teenagers I know are aging out into college).
- api 4y agoIs/was there a sense of being part of something special and exclusive in those scenes or was it just something fun to do? I didn’t say it in my OP above but I have heard young people bemoan a lack of interesting culture that is “theirs.” Hip hop, IDM, etc are all things from GenX or earlier, though obviously with a fresh coat of paint.
- navjack27 4y agoYoung people are always thinking what they are into is lame even if they think it is special at the same time because they are young people lol If any of us are commenting on this using anything that we know from when we were kids then we are already out of touch
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoOf course young people don’t realize their own culture. They literally are incapable of serious self reflection and critical thinking. When I was a kid I wouldn’t call IRC culture, but looking back it was definitely a subculture!I wouldn’t consider my music a culture either, but have you ever did karaoke with a wide range of age participants? You bet young people will be belting out different songs than the 40s folks.
