I asked my little brother why zoomer humor was so confusing and he said "I don't know, I guess I'm always just so confused anyway so I laugh as a coping mechanism"
On Reese Grey Analyzes, we look at creations and experiences in art, media, music, & even videogames to explore exactly WHY we think the way we think, question what we believe, and learn something new. And what better way to explore popular media than with memes.
So have you ever wondered WHY younger people tend to perceive older people as not funny, bland and boring & younger people are perceived as really weird and absurd. For example, older people tend to literally NOT understand a younger person's meme. Have you ever showed your parents a meme and they ask “who is that”, they need background, they’re asking questions because they don’t understand what is supposed to be funny. And this has A LOT to do with the metamorphosis of ironic humor, needing to have an understanding of “cringe” culture coupled with the understanding of how sincerity or in Gen Z’s case the lack of sincerity works in the generational divide of comedy.
Join me as I go through a painfully long explanation of irony and give a mini tour of our grandfather of memes Richard Dawkins book “The Selfish Gene”. (His full book available for free in the PDF in the source notes on ReeseGrey.com).
