There doesn't seem to be anything new and exciting going on these days.
No fads taking everyone by storm. No new technology everyone is discussing (AI is pretty meh at the moment, especially with the censorship). No new entertainment everyone has to see.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't feel I am. Anyone else kinda feel this way?
I live in an area that's somewhat famous for its local flavor, especially in rural areas. If I spoke in our local accent, you'd know it immediately.
All of that has more or less died during my lifetime. Kids either speak this put on quasi-black accent that just sounds insanely fake and retarded, or they speak standard American English. Even I myself have only the faintest hint of a local accent, though I can very easily drop into stereotypical vernacular if I'm not careful.
My area is still extremely white, but it doesn't matter. They talk and act the way their feed tells them to talk and act, which is like black people.
