      i dont know, probably. it seems like the generational conflict on tiktok is mostly just making up stuff about other generations. but it turns out that human nature is actually not capitalism, it’s cringeism.

        My dad and his brothers developed proto memes as boomers growing up in the 60s and 70s, many based on the really low rent Hannah Barabarra cartoons, Looney Tunes and The Muppet Show. They all pretended Top Cat was the greatest cartoon ever made, all household cats were given Sylvester style voices with some difference and unrelated to pop culture if anyone asks where someone went the go to answer is ‘they’re on the roof eating oranges’
