Gen Z

[Anonymous No.21752982]

How come Gen Z are so inarticulate? According to studies, about 50% read frequently, but when I interact with them they literally talk like they're 60iq or from a ghetto.
Has anyone else noticed this?what kind of texts does the average gen z read?

Baby Boomers love thrillers (43%), while Generation Z prefer fantasy (53%) and YA literature (49%). Generation X read across all genres. The main part of the infographic, however, is a breakdown of reading habits by generation. Here are the highlights: Reading habits of Gen Z (aged 5-25) – 50% of 6-8 year olds read for fun 5-7 days a week. Teenage girls read more fiction than boys, who prefer comic books.

When I was in school if you spoke without slurring your words you were called "White" and that was a bad thing. It was usually White trash wiggers that did this. This was during the 2000s into the early 2010s. It was unironically the media's promotion of rap music and hood films that caused this shit. They socially engineered an image of hoodrats as cool somehow. All those cringe gangster Spongebob memes were made by confused kids growing up in that era. Also having any vocabulary at all was taken as a threat and a weakness at the same time paradoxically. It was like how in Idiocracy they keep calling the main character gay and retarded for not talking like a retard. That was real. The upper-middle class only ever used hood slang ironically but I'm telling you that below them it was all done without self-awareness.

I've got a serious question for you all.

Has anyone noticed that, after YouTube and Google plainly just do not work anymore, do not give any relevant results at all, completely censored, etc.
And there are no people making genuine videos anymore, let alone real websites (a thing of the past)

Don't you find it a little strange that nobody even comments about the above? I mean I know what the fuck happened, but it's like the entire world disappeared, and nobody even noticed or cared. It's like if everyone sat down at their TV, and the TV remained black, but they just kept watching and smiling as normal...

This is very upsetting to me, and I don't know what to do. I can't unsee it. I lost any form of basic respect for the species because they're collectively insane now (and this is obviously just one issue of many). Like, there really is no explanation for this. It's not possible for EVERYONE on the planet to be completely stupid and lazy/hopeless all at the same time. Surely there is one conscious person left?

I think I will just never talk to another person, ever again.

because the tribe ran out of east coast and west coast jive preformers to exploit and the only group left are the original spores from atlanta georgia. The youth of today are exposed to a flavor of pop culture derieved from southern inner city youth in its purest, most unadulterated form.

The kind you grew up in, while of a lesser variety, benefited from their close proximity to whiteness and white culture. The ghettos in southern california, for example, werent always as such and had many meaningful interactions with the upper class, with the high minded academia of their time. The civil rights movement, for example, didn't start with poor impoverished blacks but with more intellegent middle class ones. These men and women didn't slave in the fields, but instead were given educations in higher centers for learning. They understood poetry and prose and had degrees in the arts. While their descendents may shock you with tales of crack rock and crime, at their core they are based on a well to do life based in wealth and power. Even the 'poor' peformers of that era at the very least had contact with money and power as it is concentrated in those areas. Even the lowest of the low was brought up by simple virtue of proximity. But that is no so in the underhives of the south. True poverty has existed there since the 1800s, it is pure and unadulterated concentrations of the lowest form of (arguably) human life. And that is where talent is now mined, that is where pop culture is exported from. That, is what your children consume. The most destitute, stupidest, most backward form of american poor: the american south.

People just became accustomed to relying on automatic recommendations and whatever comes up first on a google search (and now, whatever a chat AI tells them lol). Most people will go down the path of least resistance. And plenty of people do notice this kind of thing, I've had several people tell me that youtube recommends totally unrelated trash and they shitty targeted ads that don't match their interests at all. Youtube is full of videos by creators talking about how they randomly get loads of views on one video, then almost nothing on dozens of following videos and that the algorithm is killing their channel.

Yes. The far-right talk show host Jesse Kelly recently did a segment on this very subject. He began by playing an audio clip of a teenage girl who was unable to express what she disliked about dating, and said "like" as roughly 60% of all words spoken. During the segment, Kelly underlined that the point was not to mock the girl, ("Do not make fun of that girl"), but rather that her state was an extreme example of what texting and social media have REPLACED, in terms of natural, human conversation, which everyone previous was forced to do.

Kelly went on to stress that his intent was not to "complain about the youngsters", but rather that today's tech environment has created a unique problem for young people which has never been encountered before. He then advised parents to be very intentional in teaching their children how to talk and how to verbally express themselves, which is sensible advice.

GenZer here I think there are 3 main causes; tech isolation, autism, and cultural negrification. Tech isolation makes consume media endlessly and rot or try to imitate youtubers, anime, or movies in their speech patterns. Second, Gen Z has the higheat rate of autism in any recorded human generation. Even "normal" seeming people might have signs of autism that affect their verbal IQ. I personally blame vaccines for this one; they massively increased the number and frequency of vaccines and these vaccine can cause brain damage through inflammation or heavy metal poisoning(mercury, aluminum).

That's the other thing. It's impossible to find/make a truly working alternative solution, if nobody can even properly talk about, or even can grasp the scale and scope of the problem in the first place. The small percentage of people who even notice the problem, don't have any means of doing anything about it.

I guess you could say this about any problem in the last 100 years or before, everyone looks to everyone else for a solution and going "well I guess there's nothing we can do! Maybe it wasn't that big of a deal in the first place!" That's how you lose everything, slowly over time. Until the last couple years I was hyper fast and had lots of info and ideas, explanations, propositions for all kinds of solutions etc but now I'm brain damaged just like the rest of y'all, so I understand how it feels now.

Phones definitely have something to do with it, but niggers I don't think have anything to do with it. Black people existed equally in the 1950s (though with far less cultural prominence) so it can't be an explanation for any possible decline in literacy.

I agree, and you're doing a similar thing by not adding more info. This forum is apparently the best we've got, but it still sucks. Once in a while, you'll get some really dense info... maybe like 1 in 200-500 posts or something.

It does seem to be niggers and phones, though. 97% of Americans now own smartphones. Like, if you had a video camera of a 21yo zoomer's life, you'd just see him on his phone all day since age 2, then occasionally being shuttled back and forth to the niggerphone schoolhouse, and that's it. They don't do anything else. Anything else they do, is in between phone time. And then they walk around slurring their words. So obviously, something's up.

The internet itself ruined a lot as well. I noticed in ~2010, whenever VICE first became a thing -- suddenly within like 2yrs, the entire internet started acting hip and cool - 38 year old men started dressing and speaking in slang like cool, laid-back high schoolers. Average people instantly become celebs, and then immediately dumb themselves down to maximize reach. It's like reality TV x9999, but with real people, who also present themselves as the genuine new counter-culture. Result, viewers subconsciously reprogrammed themselves to prioritize being hip and cool in a subtle way, they think they are 'in the know' by knowing nothing. And this set the stage for the 2016+ BLM tranny epidemic or whatever you want to call it... It all happened so fast.

My mind is a wreck nowadays, but:
-Cumulative effects of each generation of kids being treated like babies in school by public schoolteachers, essentially raised by the other kids, being exposed to almost nothing of substance.
-social breakdown in general, huge divorce rate and unhappy marriages
-video games starting in the mid-90s with SNES etc. was the beginning of the end for kids going outside, sure you could play multiplayer but initiative, independence and exploration was started to be nixed - these people are the parents now
-phone is ever-present, harder to get any kid to just act normal for 5 minutes cuz they're constantly resuming the delusional fantasy life track. phone takes priority over all authority and social relationships
-aside from just 'causing ADHD' because of the fucking notifications or whatever they claim.. tech exposure instills a general helplessness or lackadaisicalness(!?), not because of dystopian headlines, but because of 'why even do anything, if it requires effort?' and this shapes attitude and identity over time - for this and other reasons, kids can't take any thought, idea, expression, or situation seriously because their shallow performance is consistently validated 100% of the time by the phone world

>>21756424
Sorry that's all I got. I'm sure there are tons of extremely valuable insights we could make, and trace a zoomer's entire life thru the insane retardo-culture. But I think the important thing is to ban phones and probably television forever, and then force them at gunpoint to be real human beings.

With the phones, they are essentially being allowed to fake their way through their entire lives, in every aspect. And they never have a moment to think clearly, nor an opportunity to express a thought to another person.

Bussin means bursting, as in bursting with flavor. In this sense it refers to food, and means delicious or good. It also means busting, as in busting a move (dancing). You can hear this meaning in phrases like "quirked up white boy bussin it down sexual style." If something is dancing this is also good, similar to if you said something was popping or jiving. It also means busting a nut which is obviously good.

One thing is when facebook rolled out video, and it was counting every video (that autoplayed as people scrooollled) played for over three seconds, it would count it as a view to the content producer. So content producers thought, "Oh, ultra short feed-length videos are the thing, and now realizing that people are skipping them too, it needs a catchy intro." It's the same reason for why now movie trailers will have spoilers to the movie as a line by a character within the first three seconds of a movie trailer.
Facebook misrepresenting scroll video views directly told companies to pivot to shorter-format videos.
We're even seeing this trend in sped-up versions of songs being used in chink tok vids, much like trend of slowed + reverb just for a highlight or bass drop from the song that came just before this sped-up song trend.

Kek, no. The amount of folk etymology for zoomerisms in this thread is hilarious. The B emoji thing comes from the "bloods" gang who use the B to replace words that usually begin with C, because they don't say the letter C since that stands for their enemy the Crips. They say things like boolin to mean coolin (hanging out) and "let me get a bickin nugget." This practice has become an ironic internet meme because it's so retarded.

you're not alone in noticing the extreme decline in society and the internet. the world's been on a general cognitive, cultural, spirital & societal decline that's become more and more noticable.

algorithmic solitude is the death of culture. everybody being in a solitary confined algorithmicly curated bubble of content seperate from everybody else's bubble does not allow for culture and 'memes' (in the cultural gene meaning of the word) to spread in natural ways anymore. the way culture spreads has changed drastically in the last 100 years, it used to be physical locations (eg you went to greenwich village or the local punk scene), then it evolved to mass media where culture spread through mass produced magazine, radio or tv. the next step was the internet, which started off beautifully, but has devolved to what it is today thanks to monopolization, centralization and a general trend towards all-encompassing capitalism.

i believe when you say the 'world' you mean the internet. television has been dead for the last 20+ years, radio likewise, it's just recently that the internet started dying. this was bound to happen however, the internet could not keep being the magical paradise that it used to be in its heyday. corporate conglomerates were bound to centralize the internet and monopolize it. these handful of all-powerful companies have seized the internet and only use them to further their own goals. you probably could've predicted this happening already in the early 2000's to be honest.

capitalism has spread its vile tentacles into every corner and crack of human life, it has reshapen and deformed the internet into the most profitable, fast-paces, consumer friendly environment on planet earth. every website not indepently owned is just a collection of advertiser-friendly, sanitized content which has only 1 main goal; capital gain (in the form of advertisements). a side goal is pushing silly socio-political idealogies that further the goals and desires of the Public Relation propaganda elite in charge (ie: immigration, identity politics, neoliberal values, etc)

people have always been collectively insane, throughout history people have been blind and stupid and took the path of least resistance. but thanks to recent technological developments it's much easier to see them at their most basest, most inane, automated, unconscious version of themselves.

the next stop for you, my friend, is the real world. the internet's been a fun ride, but anything substantial and meaningful will happen off-screen now. most smart, concious humans realize the internet is a circus graveyard not worthy of any attention anymore and seek fulfillment in other places. the plebeians will continue to foster and writhe in this algorithmic, sanitized endless stream of dopamine and the future is indeed not looking too bright, but what will happen will happen.

you can daydream about other economic systems, but the fact is capitalism won out. there's no ways to turn or twist this fact. communism bubbled up to the surface here and there had its chance to prove its efficiency and feasability, and it might've been more desirable in some aspects but at the end of the day it vanished and was usurped. usurped by a system that is better at self-propagating and growing. that's what all these economic systems boil down to, simple machine growth. no revolution, political power shifts, legislation, public relations, propaganda, historic uprising matter at all when you see society through this lens. our individual nations melded into a combined global unified capital-driven techno-society that found better ways of self-propagating, better ways of aqcuiring and consuming, better ways to satiate the all devouring forces that lie deep beneath the bedrock of our society. it's a fascinating idea, read ted kasczynskys manifesto for an abridged, simple version of it, it will make you change the way you look at all of society. read jaqcues ellul if you want less abridged.

there's an underlying force at work beneath all of society and its simple self-propagating growth, and the system that is best at that is the thing we call "capitalism", no fucking way around that

so long as you don't think too hard about it, it sure looks like the overt meanings of the words are equivalent, but they're coloured by different sets of implicit connotations - like replacing 'making love' (emphasizing the emotional bond as much as the act) with 'fuck'(friction). and that kind of shift matters more than you might think. language is contextual, and when you switch around the subtexts you change that associations that come naturally to people in given situations. a linguistic frame that de-values thinking, planning, empathy, self-reliance and so on in favour of a kind of stupefied 'just vibin' mindset is a mimetic hazard for a young mind that doesn't know anything else.

I'm inarticulate because I pay attention to etymologies and the underlying meaninglessness of words. "Autism" is just 'auto' (i.e. 'self') plus 'ism'. So yet another way of saying self-concerned or self-obsessed. But who isn't at some level? Is it because with the word "autism" it's further implied that one isn't as social as others or mostly keeps to themselves? Yes, so they're self-concerned as said before.

The general apathy is not just caused by phones and whatnot, but rather that there is a lack of sense of justice even when demands are being made and it has a trickle down effect.

An example would be, as you've pointed out the bleak headlines, that big oil companies knew that climate change would seriously disrupt the future environment. What has happened to those executives? Nothing, just free to buy another yacht while the generation looks down a barrel of a gun. It's the sense of nothing is coming to save you, no one is going to help, which causes that outlook

I have plenty of solutions on offer, and I'm pretty good, but I doubt anyone would agree with the details of any of my analyses or strategies, regardless of the quality. I've never been able to successfully convince anyone of anything. Everyone will just choose to go with their own thing instead - part of the nature of being a rebel.

I agree that most of this forum is no good. If there's a place out there for actual serious discussion of new ideas, I would fucking love to see it. I've always wanted to find others like me. Haven't ever found them so far.

I've convinced people of things on this website, including shit that I was just making up. And that's only counting all the times when people replied to my posts conceding arguments or admitting that I changed the way they thought. I have to assume that dozens or even hundreds of times more people have been influenced by my posts without having told me about it. I have also been convinced of many new ideas on this website, much more frequently than I've influenced others in fact. You've had the experience you describe because you're less interesting or convincing than you think.

I read through the thread. What I think can be added:
>control the phenomenon geographically
Is the Chinese population affected similarly? They block US social media and are said to only serve the nefarious tiktok to the westerners, so some difference should be visible. At the same time theybare much more digitized than the west (qr codes everywhere, doing everything through mobile apps), so that would have to be considered.
>control for the language
Personally I consider English to be the conduit for a lot of this degeneracy and I don't mean ebonics. English is Democracy/Internet, the Language. It distribuite thought patterns. Would be interesting to see if French or German teens are less zombified than the Americans.

That said, I think my parents got progressively dumber since they embraced technology in form of smartphones. They also got older though. Hard to measure. Still, dad can watch half an hour of youtube tiktoks from what I heard, and mom seems to have lost some conversational comprehension and now treats talking like am exchange of monologues (I blame youtube, she watches a tons of it).

Zoomer here. When I use big words like disingenuous my gen X dad makes fun of me for weeks, and asks me why I "make up those words".

stop speaking vulgar english, profligate. hold thy tongue, articulate yourself, enunciate your words, speak proper english - pakistani immigrants in my building speak better english than the average zoomer.

at this terminal stage of decline its a class issue, the intelligentsia speaks high english, middle class speaks common english, and the lower class is developing vulgar english (this will finally split off in about 20 years once hispanics create unintelligible spanglish; as it is I can barely understand hood niggas and pablos when they speak.)

advice to you; actions dictate outcome. i used to talk like that to try and sound cool in High School and college. Turns out, the people I connected with were all vermin. I make s conscious effort just like my grandparents made a conscious effort to speak properly, clearly and accurately. You should all do the same - cultivate a world of beauty, not one of savage, unclear ambiguity and instinct; and do not be dissuaded from the fact that vulgar English is savage, ambiguous, and unclear. Communicating with vulgar english speakers is more of a guessing game than a conversation. Example? My girlfriend is somewhat of a hoodrat, and if she didn't give legendary blowjobs I would dump her ass because I have to ask clarifying questions so fucking often to get to the bottom of what she is trying to say...its painful.

The internet COULD be amazing if profit incentive weren't there.

The issue is centralization -- Capitalism is all about centralization. Turn villages into cities, cities into regions, regions into countries, and countries into globohomo. What, you think France is real? That country used to be like 5 regions, modern French is just the written language from Paris. Breton, Picard, Basque, Provencal all had their own cultures (because as you know, culture generally evolves along lines of language). Then the French education system killed them all.

Centralization and profit-seeking are really the death of culture.

i think the old internet we loved was actually a lot smaller than we all thought. it was one group of like 20k people making memes on 4chan, shit posting on somethignawful, making early youtube tutorials, running weird open source blogs, using niche interest forums. all the normies were still on aim and faceberg and myspace. they would never notice the death of a bunch of sites they never found or used.

it was always a walled garden, anyone who escaped the normie walls ended up on all the sites, anyone who stayed in the garden just watched the walls get higher.

I highly recommend for anyone wanting to recapture the magic of the old internet to join a niche community, almost no matter what it is, hobby or videogame or w/e, since that's where culture is still coherent and unique instead of a gigantic blurred mass. I've watched the internet at large become more boring but the smaller circles I run in stayed the same, and I prefer them.
