Not sure what I want to do: - find a new job - waste time trying to find a date who might eventually become a boyfriend - do nothing and watch my life burn up b/c this place has become dystopian and my 35-year old ADHD brain is stressing the fuck out.
am i the only millennial who read HP when it was coming out and immediately went “…this is really bad actually?”
not “overrated”
not “i didn’t connect with it”
BAD.
even as a kid i’d already read fantasy that trusted the reader more, had better prose, better world logic, and characters that didn’t feel like cardboard cutouts wearing plot armor
and rereading as an adult just made it worse
because now you can actually see the biases baked into the worldbuilding, the weird moral framing, the shallow metaphors, and how much of it feels stitched together from other stories without understanding why those stories worked
like the cultural phenomenon? fascinating
the books themselves? absolutely not the sacred text people act like they are
how millennials seem incapable of letting go? kinda sad actually
please tell me i’m not alone in having grown up during peak hype and still going “nope”
I'm really wary of the strawmanning I'm seeing in the emotional labor discourse rn. Maybe it's just a fluke, three posts in a day, but...idk. I just don't have the energy to deal with one more legitimate issue being treated like typically millennial oversensitivity
Thinking about it, in terms of Those Dumb Millennials being a Thing; What older generations are really doing is trying to treat us as some kind of subculture, no? Whatever about our skills, qualifications and capabilities, the source of their haughtiness is cultural; towards our culture ((though in fairness: What else is there to target?)). When Hebdige wrote about the hegemony/mainstream reacting to subcultural groups, one of their methods for undermining these groups and therefore regaining control and a say in what was the "norm" was to defuse them. Defusion can happen a couple of ways, but the one I’m recognising is where a spectacle is made of the offending group: This group is ridiculous and therefore it is good, logical common sense to dismiss them. You wouldn’t want to be like those weirdos/failures. —And there's something ringing true for me in thinking about all this and thinking about the seemingly constant nitpicking and scrutiny our generation is under. Pretty shitty? Because news flash asshole, we’re not a subculture, we’re the new culture, we’re out there, inheriting the world day by day, while you appear to be kicking and screaming as time continues to move on. Anyway; This has been a thought.
Now if you'll xcuse I've got an avocado to smash
