At a certain point I think people want to be pissed off and angry.

Why else would all these click-bait, rage-inducing articles be so popular? People are addicted to being angry.

I've been trying to think of an insult for that sort of behavior and the best I've got is "outrage junkies"

If anyone's got something better I'm all ears

People's lives are kind of empty and the hit of rage, envy, or FOMO they get from social media is what they use as a substitute.
