Reminds me of one interesting thing I heard about younger generations - they know social media is a facade intuitively growing up with it. I guess it is the adults who fall for the keeping up with the Jonses facade gilding contests and don't realize their lawyer neighbor managed to get deep in debt despite making six figures in a five figure COL area.
I have noticed a fundamentally disturbing thing about many who are essentially LARPing adulthood by following social pressures blindly - going through the motions of social spending, marriage and having kids not out of a desire for any of them but because they think that is what adults do.
> essentially LARPing adulthood by following social pressures blindly
I see this over and over. One example I think of is the stag do - it used to be a few jars in the pub, but now it has to be some kind of ridiculous Vegas blowout wasting a month or two's salary, simply because that's become the done thing. People are utter sheep.
