A Guide to Children’s Culture for Adults Out of Touch With Reality: Why Do Young People Wear Costumes for “minions”?
On the one hand, all over the world things have screwed up seriously. Everyone seems to be going crazy and nothing else makes sense. But on the other hand, the youngsters have collectively decided to dress up in their prettiest clothes to watch Minions: The Rise of Gru this weekend. That should balance the scales a bit, right?
The youth are also digging holes on the beach, inviting literally all their colleagues to dinner and singing mind-blowing freestyle raps.
Why do young people dress up in costumes for Minions: The Rise of Gru?
Countless young people across the country (and possibly the world) are planning to see the premiere of Minions: The Rise of Gru this weekend in suits, dresses and tuxedos . I can’t say exactly why, but it’s probably because school is over, not much going on, and it’s fun to pretend you’re very serious about opening a formulaic children’s movie.
Whether this trend will continue when the film opens to the general public remains to be seen, but the number of videos of teenagers in semi-formal attire attending early Gru screenings (or at least saying they attend early Gru screenings) that have been released yet before the movie was released, really impressive.
I fully support this viral spread. Teenagers and teens can be annoying, but it’s worth coming to terms with the absurdity they bring to this gray and evil world. So if you see a bunch of 12-year-old boys in three-piece suits and dresses at the movies this weekend, don’t look down on them, dad; shout ” Hurrah !” instead of.
Dating remains an ‘endless, unhappy cycle’
Surprisingly, changing the acceptable standards for how men and women talk to each other doesn’t seem to make romance any easier. Instead, dating/meeting new people became annoying in a new way .
The problem, if I may paraphrase this video from TikToker @ari_mjx , is that self-respecting men have (finally) figured out that women generally don’t like weird dudes molesting them in public, but weird and/or creepy dudes I don’t really care how the hot woman on the subway reacts to their approach.
“All the nice respectable men don’t want to bother us, so they never talk to us in person,” Ari says in her video. “But all the assholes don’t give a shit, and they’re the ones who come to us. So we’re like, ‘Don’t come near us,’ and all the good guys are like, ‘Okay, we won’t,’ and it’s just an endless miserable cycle.”
That’s why I only date robots.
TikToker says invite everyone to work for lunch
Young people are significantly changing office culture. Men can’t sexually harass people this much, things are getting less formal, remote work is expected, but there are some changes that could go too far. As did TikToker @dongarkarmitej who posted a video of a lonely dude having lunch in his car saying “Always invite ALL colleagues to lunch. Please don’t let anyone through.”
Wait, everyone ? Can’t I draw a line to the guy who wears those split toe shoes?
Comments on the viral idea are mixed, with some responding, “YES, I’m sorry! It’s adult bullying” when others say things like “I’m not getting paid for lunch, so I’ll choose who to have it with, sorry.”
Is this the result of the first generation, who received serious anti-bullying training in school, hitting the workplace? Or just common courtesy? Either way, I’m happy to be working from home. I don’t even invite my cat to have lunch with me.
People are digging holes on the beach: TikTok is to blame
Nearly every news service in the state of Florida is issuing a warning about a shocking new trend that is sweeping the state. Inspired by the TikTok video call, young hooligans go to the beaches and dig holes in the sand . (I will give you some time to return the fallen monocles.)
To be fair, the pits are quite deep, so officials take it seriously. “The real problem is not the holes, but the pointed panji sticks smeared with bull feces that these kids put on the bottom,” the Florida police officer did not say. “This is worse than Nam,” they did not add.
In fact, there is no law against digging a very deep hole in the beach. (For now. I guess it’s in the next Supreme Court hearing). But officials are advising burrowers that the adorable little turtles could get trapped in the holes they dig, so they should leave the beach as they found it. “I don’t care if they dig into China, just fill it up before you leave, ” said Allison Ward, a Florida beachgoer .
Viral Video of the Week: Healing Your Pain—Harry Mack Omegle Bars 67
It’s weird that one of the greatest freestyle rappers on earth is a white guy in his 30s who has a YouTube channel, but after seeing what Harry Mac does, it’s hard to deny that this dude is good enough to impress and inspire Kendrick Lamar . Mac makes a lot of freestyle oriented videos, but my favorite is his “Omegle Bars” videos. The viral video of the week is typical of the series: Mac logs on to Omegle, gets a few words from the random people he hangs out with, and then proceeds to puff up their damn wigs with an intricate improv rap that’s so good it feels like magic. It’s number 67 in the series and they keep getting better. Even if you don’t like hip-hop at all, your jaw won’t drop when you see this guy, so if you’re doing nothing but crying into your coffee cup today, check out his latest video.
