Am I the unique Gen Z if I dislike TikTok and prefer the 2000s technology trends like retro consoles, CRTs, and CD/DVDs?

what are you going to do when asked to use modern tech to merge files and compress them into a file library and all you know is how to put a CD into a cd player?

Well, considering there are people today who like the 298,000BCE technology of sexual intercourse, I imagine enjoying something from earlier in the century is not that unique. If you disliked modern building techniques and decided to live in a mud thatch or in a foxhole, that would be unique.

Or if you preferred bloodletting and cult rituals instead of modern medicine, that would be unique.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

To be completely honest, the last thing I enjoyed that pervades time is music. Not just new or old, but all in between.

Nothing wrong with enjoying something, but seriously liking something like that to the point where it takes over your life is unhealthy and you probably need to have a hemispherectomy and prescription of lithium and every antidepressant in existent.

you should watch FilthyFrank’s “Born in the Wronf Generation” video and understand why there is fallacy in trying to live in a period that no longer exists. You may be a victim of circumstance, but by not taking advantage of this as an opportunity to learn and grow so that you may move on, you are severely disadvantaging yourself

I don’t like anything and I’m generally a nihilist and antihumanist so I basically just do what is most enjoyable in the present moment. I don’t like TikTok and Instagram and Facebook, X, Reddit, Quora, the state of immigration and democracy in the USA and in many parts of the world. I don’t like my face, body, personality, interests, hobbies, passions, intelligence, ignorance, lack of relationships, social ineptitude, financial insignificance, disabilities, porn and masturbation addiction.

You have to remember that just because you are currently more fascinated in retro early 2000s trends, doesn’t mean that is something you will like forever. Many modern tech is designed after retro tech and will continue to be for a long time.
