I'm waaaaay too old to have any hope of understanding this stuff, but for people of my generation this is roughly equivalent to "Revolution #9"

Every generation that came before criticizes the trends of the generation that comes after. It never ceases to amaze me how soon people forget the old codgers that they used to roll their eyes at when they were growing up, with their "in my day" attitude... only to go on to do the very same thing in their older ages.

Cute, but a little boring, but as the saying goes, to each his own, 👍

The kids love nonsensical humor that utilizes memes.  
 

Best explanation I can give.

lmao ive aged out of this as well.

it's pithy one liners and quick gags, but done in meme cut up format.  think of the jokes from airplane (which is obviously much better than this slapped together stuff) but in a silly social media memecentric cut up format.  the weird al stuff above is a good analogy, if you think about how robin williams would rip off stream of consciousness stuff, kinda a mix of all of that.

Kinda off topic but if you haven’t seen Weird Al (and his band) live you should.  It’s a great time, can’t recommend them highly enough.

Agreed lol those vids are WILD. Who is the target audience? I’d also argue your title should be social media team on LSD. Not sure crack is the best fit

I've never done crack so I can't argue with the OP but I had the same thought. If we're trying to identify the underlying drug, "trippy" is one word that comes to mind.

If that ADD-inspired bizarro nonsensical content is appealing to the under-21 Gen Z audience, the mental acuity needed to appreciate it may explain the sub par service and products we frequently get at fast food restaurants these days.

FWIW  it looks to me like Josh and the players enjoy these... their participation strongly implies that and if it's alright with Josh... (cue my Dad saying"If your friends all jumped off a bridge...")

If this kind of content was just for 21 and under - TikTok wouldn't be what it is. I assure you, it's not just limited to 21 and under.

 

And to be quite frank, I find this kind of out of touch, generational superiority post way more embarrassing than the cringiest TikTok

Expand  

 

I'm not cool, hip, relevant or whatever buzz word is synonymous these days but I agree. IMO the condition you describe isn't good for the mind or the soul. I think if you can't just laugh at these it's a shame.

This is a good description but there's also a nonsensicalness mixed in. Most/much of the stuff in these is totally unexplainable. I think they're just trying to get a reaction more than they're trying to send a message.

 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
