  • Yes, it’s because a lot of kids started wearing their dads’ classic rock and grunge metal band shirts, so much so that it became fashionable, and stores like Target and Walmart sell these shirts again.

    Then you have the kids who actually listen to those bands and think very highly of their learned musical opinions (reminiscent of “le wrong generation” kids).

    There’s now both a stereotype for the type of trendy person who wears a shirt for a band they’ve never even heard of and the type of person who judges them as posers.






  • Exactly. One uses an algorithm to suggest stuff you like based on other things you like. Say, webcomics. If you like a creator and what they post, you can follow them. Twitter will then suggest users who post similar content so you can follow them too. On Reddit/Lemmy, you’d need to find an appropriate subreddit/community. You can follow people once you stumble across them, but it’s not quite as easy to find them. Reddit will also not suggest posts and content based on your interest but instead will show you what’s highest voted by others or currently trending in general.



  • Surprise! My mom does this too, and the frustrating part is that she’s wrong about the second half of my sentence a LOT of the time. It ends up being rude and makes the conversation even longer because I have to waste additional time going, “No, I was going to say…” instead of simply finishing the sentence and continuing on.

    So congratulations. You’re playing yourself. (I also have ADHD.)
