Short additional note:

Yes, Absurdism is a great summary of much of teenage internet humor.

Skibidi toilet, making 9/11 jokes – and interestingly a lot of it does come from a deeper sense.

9/11 jokes for example by GenZ reflects the fact of the absolute absurdity of demanding they REMEMBER an event they weren’t even BORN for. (It also mocks their own conspiracy filled uncles and grandpas)

[Skibidi toilet by the way, is an epic wordless saga. I made it up to episode 32 last year before having my fill and understanding the gist of the war story, and seeing Gen Alpha going from admiration of the saga to calling it “brainrot” has been fascinating as well)

Ask your teenagers : “Tell me about the lore behind [media object of curiosity]…”

and you’ll learn a lot. Lore is a magic word.

I hope my participation in this class is worthy and thank you again 🙂
