They're busy cheering for grown folks playing different kids games, or playing less intense/more popular games like Farmville, Modern Warfare, GTA5, or whatev. They aren't getting their giggles from cartoons but from Modern Family or Young Sheldon. They are 100% doomscrolling.
Biggest difference is social acceptability.
Those damn kids on their Nintendos! They should be enjoying proper content like the intellectual cartoons I enjoy, 10 hour video essays, and browsing Lemmy!
True.
In my case, the self proclaimed "grown up" people my age are busy:
GenZ has a having fun problem. When people take up normal healthy hobbies like climbing or knitting, the boomers and Gen-Xers at mainstream cable news publish stories ~~making fun of them~~ essentially decrying "have we failed them??"
We've ended up with part of the generation focused on their own survival, and the other part are busy chasing the traditional road-well-travelled that boomers set out; basically conversion therapy to bring them into the folds of thrill-seeking capitalist dictatorship. As with the Boomers before them, these Gen Zs believe they are being "rebellious" and "individualistic" when they go down this road.
