Born 2k so I think I'm on the cusp. Mythology is pretty interesting. I like the basics like metamorphoses by Ovid but reads like journey to the west are also interesting

21 year old.
Reading Terry Pratchett currently

>>20048816
Usually science fiction and fantasy, and that's if they read at all. Others, who have felt they've been robbed of a decent education, turn to canonical works

None

>>20048816
zoomers don't read, they just watch tiktok all day every fucking day

>>20048816
well given that traditional books don't really have much cultural capital with zoomers, the only books you could say they, as a cohort, read would be:
>Contemporary fiction, mostly YA
>Self-help books
>"Pop" nonfiction books like those written by Malcolm Gladwell

But that doesn't tell you much except that zoomers aren't big or deep readers.

20.

Reading Grimm's fairy tales before I try to read them in german.

zoomers dont read they scroll down twitter and scream on fortnite

zoomers don't read, all they do is twerk, be bisexual, charge they phone, eat hot chip, and lie

They dont, for the most part

The ESG landing pages for corporations they are considering applying to for a salary.

>HURR DURR ZOOMIES ARE NOTHING LIKE MY GENERATION
>All they know is *popular thing*
>We are the TRVE KVLT ones lmao

all you niggers do in these threads is describe normalfags, which also exist in your generation, and will forever exist.

>>20049844
"Zoomer" is basically a synonym for low IQ normalfag. The fact that it has a colloquial definition that differs so much from its literal definition is the cause of a lot of problems. I was born in 1999 but I still maintain a relatively clear idea of what a 'zoomer' is that doesn't include myself.

>>20049844
fuck off zoomer and take your shaved sides woolly on top haircut with you

>>20049844
yes but normalfags were about 75 percent of the population in our generation, there were just enough weird people that you could find your clique and there were weird and fresh ideas put out into the system
your generation has 90 percent normalfags, so your creative and cultural output is almost zero since the weirdos have no place to express themselves and create something new. you have no goths or punks or skinheads or any of the various subculture previous generations came up with, you have marvel and tiktok and blacked. you have no significant countercultures, your culture is corporate globalist consumerism

>>20049926
You're misunderstanding it. There is no "normal" anymore, all zoomers are fucking weirdos. It's matter of if they are smart and brave enough to be weird in an interesting way that sets them aside from the general trend of mindlessly staring at their phone. They are all loaded with unique mental issues and cringe, no matter what.

>>20048816
If they read at all, probably manga. Zoomers that care about politics also might read some of the basics for whatever political leaning they like.

>>20049953
thats the thing, when weird becomes normal, nobody is weird, and there is no cultural output, there is no conflict. zoomers think of themselves as weird because they draw characters with 3 eyes on their deviantart. or eyes on their arms and shit. all of them. and they think theyre unique for it. when you actually strip away a zoomers weird art and weird sexual tastes, their dmt stories and breaking bad theories, theyre dull as fucking bricks. absolute snores to talk to

>>20049981
This. Zoomers dabble in a bunch of random topics that are themselves interesting but rarely develop any actual opinions on them. Many of the are legit anti-intellectuals and will actually get mad if you, for example, express a belief that a movie has a slightly deeper meaning than what is on its surface. They are honestly braindead and forcefully spread the idea it's a virtue to just sit there being bored and unthoughtful.

>>20048816

>>20049910
>Hehe am I fitting in yet fellow boomers?

>>20049981
Agreed, zoomers are subhuman and I am frightened of the future.

>>20049926

They are mostly an online generation because the world is that way now, in social circles you know nothing about since you've been out of touch for well over a decade. What do you know about zoomers putting out new things if everything is to be mocked in your own eyes? How can you expect to be surprised with their generation when you yourself think so lowly of them regardless?
Normalfags have always been a majority, and you can't pretend there are more normalfags than before.

>B-B-B-B-But they watch *popular series* and use *popular thing*
You did in your own time too. Or didn't because you wanted to be le epic contrarian.

Truth is you're just bitter and try to strip away any legitimacy from their own culture to make your own feel special, because you're undergoing the same phase your parents did.

>>20050758
the very way zoomers speak is obnoxious, could barely finish this. surprised you didnt throw any yas's in there.
you have no culture besides tranny shit and grubhub perks. prove to me otherwise. yes emos and hippies were embarrassing but at least they werent trannies obsessed with foodies, which is all you have

>>20050782
Where can I read more from people who are awake to the zoomer plague? I need to know I'm not crazy here. It's to the point that I'm getting off the fucking elevators and zoomers are just walking right in and plowing into me and other people and I'm thinking "am I insane or did this not used to happen?"

All of my instincts are telling me, these people are notably, almost cartoonishly antisocial and retarded. But my rational mind says it's not possible for things to get this bad in a single generational gap, and I must just be going through typical boomer "in my day kids had manners" stuff.

I heard "no cap" from a rich WASP kid in public recently. They really say that? They all slur their words together. They can't enunciate. They don't know what most of the words they use mean. Can things really be this bad?

>>20050814
no you arent wrong, i hold doors open for zoomers doubled door entrances, they dont hold the next door open for me or even thank me, they awkwardly just shuffle away from me as quick as possible. every other person, older or the same age, different race different sex at least says thanks and usually holds the door open. ive never seen such an autistic generation. not enough parent beatings

>>20048931
Same. Small Gods appears to have a layer of dark satire beneath its exterior that cuts to the very shit OP’s zoomer tradcath is coping with.

>>20051024
>>20050814
Zoomers unironically need to be drafted into a pointless conventional war in Europe to teach them manners. Combat is the hard reset on civility.

>>20051062
>People need to die because they are... RUDE!
You fucking fashoids will come up with any justification for pointless suffering.

>>20050814
>I heard "no cap" from a rich WASP kid in public recently
And? Every generation has its own slang. There's slang from the hippie generation that sounds just as retarded.
>They all slur their words together. They can't enunciate.
I would imagine that's probably more an indicator of class &/or education than age. I'm in uni and most of my peers sound relatively articulate. Not to say they're all intelligent but they don't really seem all that different from other generations in terms of intelligence.

>>20051073
First of all we are long overdue for a cull of 10-20% of the fighting age male population. Nature is a harsh mistress. And second, there's no better way to drastically improve your attention span than being threatened

>>20051073
unironically, rudeness is how societies crumble. little shits deserve to get artillery shrapnel through their ribs

>>20051095
If you don't hold the door for your elders, don't complain when they ship you off to be cannon fodder. We can make more kids. You had one job and it wasn't hard.

No no, he's right. I'm a zoomer and I struggle to read more than a few pages at a time.

>>20048816
21 year old. I read primary texts of scholastic(Aquinas, Scotus, Ockham, Suarez, and others), poetry(currently thomas merton, c s lewis, and g k chesterton), some islamic philosophy(Al-Ghazali atm), and the odd sci fi and catholic novel(A Canticle for leibowitz, Lord of the World, most things by isaac asimov, and a plethora of other books in these respective categories).

>>20051024
>not enough parent beatings
and lack of bullying
now I realize why bullying is based

>>20051024
Sounds like you're somewhere western North America. I could be wrong but this is the sort of shit I experienced being in the west coast

>>20050814
The generation I really fear for is the children of Millennials.
These are kids that are literally realizing their first moments of consciousness through the fucking YouTube Kids app on an ipad, raised by the sewage outlet of youtube autoplay due to the neglect of their also braindead/depressed/overworked parents.
These are people that are learning to walk and interface with a touchscreen concurrently, so I can only imagine the levels of autism that will result from being programmed by the media system out of the womb.

>>20051795
I've thought about this a bit, there's gotta be a sweet spot for bullying that actually builds a person's character right?

>>20048816
Facebook, snapchat, instagram are the most popular works of literature.

Jesus fucking christ what a terrible post

20 here.
Just finished Purgatorio by Dante, starting Paradiso. Took me 3 years though was too busy playing fortnite and watching interracial porn.

>>20052150
Not sure what "a sweet spot" implies, but bullying has been on the decline ever since 2018, because of the passivenes and faggotry of zoomers. Any type of suffering does build character, but bullying is especially effective, since it's personal for everyone. Those kids who endured the bullying without turning into a complete degenarate emo faggot are the most enlightened out of all their peers.

I'm 23 and I don't do that shit nor have I met anyone who does that shit, although I don't frequent people younger than 25. Seems like an american problem mostly

Summarize Deleuze for me, don't feel like reading philosophy anymore

>>20048816
1996-1998 is cursed we're zoomers with boomers for parents who hate us. For those of you that don't know, Zoomers actually get love and care from their gen x parents. It might be less painful to not know this though.

>>20052267
You did read the essential Freud, Jung and Lacan to know what D&G even argue against, right?

>>20052291
Nah, your parents are just assholes. My boomer parents don't understand my shit, but they are kind and remember how their parents didn't understand their shit either, so they love me regardless.

18 yo here.
Currently read mythology by Hamilton, half of the way through Iliad and started Brothers Karamazov, also finished Purgatorio few months ago. I have to admit thought that most of my peers don't seem to be part of any communities. All of them mostly just read the same shonen manga and watch anime, not really deep into it just the most mainstream stuff. Ive been paying close attention to conversations of my peers, the only topics I have heard zoomers talk about are:
>shonen manga/anime
>football (UKfag)
>movies/celebrities
>gym
>crypto
other than that its mostly gossip and jokes. Everybody is into the same things and we dont have any small communities. Boys listen to rap/drill/trap, girls listen to American pop, with no exceptions (this opinions might be biased since Im an antisocial nerd).
There are a few ugly girls who (I suspect) read gay manga shit, and a few nerds here and there, other than that nothing really.
Was it any different with your generations? did you really have all the emos and punks and metalheads and nerds and stereotypical football team captains and cheerleaders? or was it the same?

I only ever hear seething poorfags say this

>>20048816
manga, Young Adult, teen romance

>>20051024
Anyone who makes a big deal out of things like holding the door for others reveals that they are a sad retard who desperately wants to have something to feel respectable over.

>>20051024
i notice a similar phenomenon. I'm a mailman and when I make a delivery to a zoomer they often wait for me to place the parcel at the doorstep then quickly open the door and snatch it up after I start walking away. Normal people see me coming and open the door and say hi, thanks, and take it from me. When they happen to be outside, they avoid eye contact with me and don't say hello, they look at their feet or pretend to be focused on doing something else even though I know they're hyperaware of me in that moment. Sometimes I greet them anyway just to be friendly and show them that interacting with me isn't so bad. Poor deranged little people.

>>20053451
I think he's just trying to illustrate how socially awkward zoomers are because they fail to do things you're supposed to do like thank people that hold doors open for you.

>>20053462
I'm going to interupt what I'm doing to talk with the mailman, faggot.

Zoomer here, wtf is a “books”?

>>20053472
And he's probably full of shit, people like him are so quick to make these assumptions to the point where it's basically just aggressive lying from someone who wants to start a fight. The one time someone has given me shit IRL for not thanking them for holding a door, they were completely out of sight on the other side of the wall and I had assumed the door was just propped open, didn't even know they were there until they started seething. It was a nigger, btw.

>>20053487
If you're not personally guilty of it then stop feeling so attacked, settle down there lil zoomie.

>>20053491
Heavy projection. I'm not a faggot who even thinks the phrase "I feel attacked", I'm just letting you know how full of shit you are.

>hey there lil buddy, enjoying your toktiks?
>KYS GRANDPA WE THE FUTURE ALL YOU OLD FUCKS CONSTANTLY SEETHING ABOUT NOTHING YEAH I LIKE TO FLOSS WHAT OF IT
Ah you'll understand when you're older.

I try to read a bit of everything, from philosophy to fiction. I also enjoy theology a lot.Every now and then I also dip into the cesspool known as fanfiction.
Right now, i'm going through paradise lost.

>>20049096
Gotta say I agree with this post. Feeling robbed of a decent education is one of the reasons I'm trying to go through the western canon.

Social media.

22. I've been reading a ton of psychoanalysis recently. Indian epics too. The most recent fiction book I read for fun in my native lang was The Master & Margarita. I'm a student of literature so I normally don't have time for fun reading except during breaks.

Actual zoomer I read mostly literary classics and SOME books on booktok when I need a break

Currently making my way through the gothic genre, but generally read a lot of ecology philosophy. My roommates read as well but one just reads young adult fiction and the other reads christian self help books. I do have a friend who reads philosophy with me sometimes though.
