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?

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

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.

Why do flat Earthers run away like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs when asked simple questions that expose their delusions as fantasy?

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.

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.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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.

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