No one is having a conversation anymore without adding 5 meme references or using some brainrot words. Its frustrating and concerning that we are regressing to communication based on crude stick figures drawn by a caveman (a meme is like that stick figure drawing)
I am in a group chat with all my besties innit. I deleted social media few months ago but they are still on it. I have been mocking them that their attention span has been declining since i have tried to sparkspark conversations in that chat but all i get in response are some brainrot meme or a referenced meme which i don't even know. They kinda taunt me that i am being needy as a girlfriend for telling them that we as frens have stopped having conversations altogether. Every conversation is either derailed by some other cultural reference or just by the lack of attention span and critical thinking abilities.
I just wanna rant that i miss having real conversations about anything ANYTHING at all. Ask me what my favorite underwear brand is or whatever but please fuckin talk like a real human being for 10 min without being distracted.
Conversations are cringe now but sending and knowing niche memes is cool. I am not even that old, I am 24 and its everyone is already boring. Lets go and break rocks and eat grass rather than indulding on pissy internet humour which is ruining the most important things humans need to do to have world peace- to talk. If we all stop talking to each other then it's over for is.
Edit: I am not mocking mocking my frens. we have a deep cousin brotherly bond and we kinda mock each other loosely here and there if its good for us.
