Agreed with your take on nihilism. But gen Z is 10x moreso. On average they are so Jaded. Theyve seen everything shocking under the sun (woman fucking horse? Check. Nun eating shit out of a priests ass. Sure. Eels in a vagina. Yep. Man beheaded by terrorists. Uh huh). And then with this over exposure to all the worst the world has to offer comes a sort of paradoxical closed mindedness. Where everything is "been there done that, ur idea sucks moving on."
So the result is this strange combination of extreme worldlyness and also naivete.
- TheFattestNinja 4y agoMaybe. But I don't think that being desensitized equals being nihilist, nor I believe genZ has had more exposure to "shocking" content than millenials. Things like 2girls1cup and rotten.com existed before genZ was even a commonly used word.
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoYeah I think the difference is that to gen z all that shock shit is like old hat.
