20 Things Youngsters Love That Make Us Wonder if We’re Losing It, Are We?

Leisure preferences differ, some find them fun, others frivolous. Some do them for relaxation, others for inherent pleasure. A forum user asked, "What do young people love that you don't understand?" Here are the responses.

PRANKS

“All these prank videos on people in public. The public tiktok dancing. I can’t handle the secondhand embarrassment when someone is dancing in aisle 5.”

CRYING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

"Filming themselves crying." I recently saw a girl crying over her dead pet snake, set up with a tripod. She sought sympathy, making her online likes seem more important than her pet.

FILMING STRANGERS

“Random film strangers without consent to make fun of them online all for the internet.”

ONLINE CONTENT

The amount of online content so many people create. It’s work! How do they have time for this?

TIKTOK/YOUTUBE VIDEOS

"I'm puzzled by some YouTube/TikTok video genres. Videos featuring a robot voice reading comments over subway surfers gameplay, or a guy with a bad haircut posing risqué questions. Who likes this?"

COOKING AND SATISFYING VIDEOS

"Random cooking or “satisfying” videos on TikTok are distracting, especially for someone with ADD. Despite selecting “not interested,” they persistently appear on my feed. I hope this trend dies out soon."

TEENS ACTING SILLY

"Being a teacher, I'm frustrated with the 'cool to be dumb' trend among teens. In 2 weeks, I've dealt with kids pretending not to know basic things."

COSMETICS ON VIDEO GAMES

“Cosmetic stuff in video games is kind of cool, but I don’t understand the amount of value people put on it.”

TALKING LOUDLY ON THE PHONE

“Talking loudly with your phone on speaker while in public. Older people do it, too.”

VIDEO CALLING

“Facetiming people instead of calling them. Unless you have to show me something, I prefer not to show my face on the screen.”
