>screencap worthy boomer wisdom
Can some of you zoomers explain the Youtube Let's Play or Twitch Streamer meme to me?
My boomer brain doesn't get this at all. How is this not boring? I get watching some pro player in Star Craft, DOTA, CS:GO, etc in order to learn new tactics. I get speedrunners because it's quite impressive to watch those blitz through my favorite boomer games like Half Life. I get PewDiePie, Markiplier, et al because they edit their videos and they are to some degree charismatic/funny/original. I even get watching some big tiddy female Twitch streamer.
What I don't get are those unedited, long-ass, unfunny videos/streams taken by nobodies. What's the appeal there? It's boring as fuck! Wouldn't you rather play those games yourself? When I was kid I would get pissed if my friend didn't hand over the SNES controller quickly enough.
It used to be the case that older generations would call the trends of younger generations too extreme, too loud, too dangerous, too disturbing, etc. Now we're moving in the opposite direction. The lifestyle of teenagers these days is boring and tame as fuck. It's like a whole generation got collectively neutered.
