Any else notice this generation seems a lot more... sad?
Fandoms like Brony, Steven Universe, Furry etc. all seem to be aimed at being basically a second family. Like... I dunno... like social comfort food. Then there's video games getting all the more immersive & "social" and Social Media geared to make you feel like your opinions & random thoughts effect anything. Even music has become about insisting that you have importance.
Back in the Vietnam War, we were stuck in a losing fight we never wanted to be in with a rightfully angry, young populace. But we still had culture, interests.
Everything is about depression these days...
Where did the light go?

I'm pretty sure the whole idea of affirming people and making them feel important and needed came about to try and mitigate the rising frequency of depression amongst people in the western world. Everything's about depression because a lot of people have it nowadays and they need all the help they can get.
