I was talking to my primary-school age kids about their teachers, and one of them says their next teacher will be Mr Smith.

"He's old," they said, "he must be at least fifty".

I said "nah man. Mr Smith is probably only a few years older than me, early forties I reckon".

They had me with "no he's like really old. He reads a newspaper"

Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”

We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.

"Give me the clip, not the VOD." How do you do, fellow kids?

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 27 points 3 days ago

Damn...

I'm Gen Z and I feel like I'd still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy...

About a decade ago my employer had an intern present their findings from analyzing some survey data. One of the findings was this:

"People who answer surveys are really old. Like really old. Like thirty."

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Primary school age children are horrible at guessing age. One time when I was 16 a group of 6 year olds estimated I was 40. And I don't look old, a few weeks ago, I got carded buying beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.

I used to work at a hikers' hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, "He doesn't smoke weed. He's old, like in his 40s." He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol

In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.

The fun thing is that none of this stuff is going to survive long-term at all. Databases are backed up onto forms of media that have a very short lifespan. Only material that is endlessly copied forward (like DNA) will still be around, and nobody is going to pay for that kind of archiving, at least not for the generally trivial bullshit that comprises social media. FWIW this fact make me happy.

As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don't help and I am too scared to search them up.

I don't regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it's always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 days ago (6 children)

The fact that 'influencer' is a legitimate job title is proof that humanity is doomed.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They aren't some symbol of the end times or anything, they're just a symptom of the sort of attention based economy we've built up here in America. They exist precisely because you can get paid to shill products while playing Minecraft.

If we reign in the marketing and advertising industries then influencers will fall alongside them.

Or, if we regulate "proper" ads and fail to do the same to influencers, whether on purpose or not, then they will become a primary source of advertising. Depending how this is handled could be a good or bad thing.

This.
The TV stations around me are desperate to attract the young viewers, so they always have influencers as guests on their shows and what not, and I simply do not get it.

Today's guest: Billy Bobberson.
What's he famous for? Oh he posts some selfies on Instagram daily and every other post is a sponsored brand promo.
Why the fuck do people even follow influencers like this???

I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.

It's the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as "recent".

Still, you can't tell me that Harry Potter movies didn't happen in the last ten years.

Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.

After experiencing new media...... there's some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.

There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can't exist all by itself unless it's watered down or mixed in with every other preference.

Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.

Kif!

(at least Zapp remembered how to pronounce champagne by that episode)

I'm 29 so maybe I'm too young for this statement but if you ask me it's because younger celebrities tend to be the result of nepotism and don't have any actual talents.

I'm a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named "Queso" (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he's all about. It can't possibly be good.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He's a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.

My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using "sigma" instead of "cool" now?

"That's so sigma, bruh."

The fuck?

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

'The fuck" is now "what the sigma" at least that's what I gathered from lurking on shitposting communities

Edit: and I'm deeply afraid of using it around people who don't know what that means. And also around people who do know what it means.

Why even care about those "celebrities"? Stuff they do is usually mediocre at best anyways.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Listening to what their interests are is a good way to connect with much younger (or much older!) people. I'll happily listen to a kid explain Fortnite to me, or my to grandpa talk about his favourite TV show. I'll ask them some questions about it and get a conversation going.
