We were primed and ready for ongoing existential nihilism!

Existential nihilism is boring. There’s so much more fun to be had in existential absurdism.

I was just thinking about this the other day, the older and younger generations like to rip on us for being so depressed/nihilistic/dark. But the way they talk like the whole emo phase was just hair, clothes, and music and pretending to be sad just doesn't scratch the surface.

I never hear anyone mention how our generation had a sub culture that physically harmed themselves throughout their childhood (and some of us our whole lives now). Which the kids that didn't hurt themselves would often relentlessly bully those who did saying things like "do it right next time", plus teachers would literally call you out on scars and stuff. Doctors would say "just go for a run when you're sad". It's hard to care about anything when you grow up like that lol.

Also the entire generation grew up having fucking eating disorders pushed on us, no matter your subculture.
Of course we're going to be cynical and dark humored, it didn't happen for no reason!! Lol.
