1997-2007
“Being Gen Z is ingendered by a feeling of hopelessness in the face of a world built and shaped before our input. The life and death of countless movements in history that would have stood opposed to colonialism, capitalism, every fucking ism really occurred decades before we came to be. In the wake of the end of history, we are born into a landscape where the consolation prize we feebly and gladly accept as reparations for our participation in humanity’s death is consumption. Constant consumption. We believe, with nothing else to do, we must accept and alleviate the hollow hopelessness and its effects with a nonstop stream of dopamine. Few of us recognise that this is not a life; even fewer of us seek something outside of consumption and playcation. The children of post-modernity, new labour, and born in the shadows of Thatcherism represent a lost tribe that I now assign the name blair babies.” Ceebo 1997-2007 blair babies
