"Current year" terms that piss you off -

[ToroidalBoat]

Not a term, but a trend I've noticed in Current Year is hipsters trying to convince you that something that is definitely shit is, in fact, not shit - with hot take bullshit.

I mean crap like this: "How Everyone Wearing Masks Is A Good Thing", "Why The 21st Century Is The Best Time In History", or "Here Is Why The End Of Physical Media Is A Good Thing".

It doesn't have to be "journalism" either. It's like saying "you gotta accept this bullshit that's been forced on you".

“X only proves our/my point”. It’s a lazy way of arguing that really should go the way of the dodo. You can make many things “prove your point”, but if you can’t back it up well, it falls apart quickly. It’s also really smarmy and just about anyone sounds insufferable when they use it. This phrase crosses all political spectrums. A better way of saying this would be “X supports my Y because...”. It’s not as short, but it’s way less condescending and other people are more likely to listen because of that.

Is this photo some sort of antisemitic joke?

'We are all in this together'

We're only "in this together" because assholes in power - and "influencers" in media - made this shit the hellish circus it is.

No, it’s just someone getting mad about tear gas (despite it being completely justified during riots).

The social climate started going to hell around 2010 when those SJW LGBT pronouns, terms and identities started crawling out the wood works. The terms became more fucking confusing as time went on than infuriating.

“Literally shaking” and other zoomer speak.
Calm down guys, quit being so childish

 

[Lapis Lazuli]

When someone puts "BLM/ACAB" or a pride flag on their username.

Any time the term "valid" is used unironically to describe a person, group of people,TV show, etc.

Anything that was referred to as valid before SJW Tumblr shit, start using that to fuck with people

"Hey is this coupon still trans?"

On second thought this could easily backfire into "le quirky lgbbq hipster humor". Fuck.

"Empowering"

Fucking anything that moves is empowering, shaving your head like a tard is empowering, flashing your tits is empowering, cutting your dick and balls off is empowering.

But playing "Kick the autist" isn't empowering in current year.

I see "social distancing" is mentioned a lot.

Society could've just said "keep a distance" or the like, but no, they had to invent a new stupid oxymoron Current Year buzzword.

Calling people "folks" or especially "folx" on social media makes me want to cringe out of my skin when I see it.

The worst, though, is when game streamers scream "LETS GOOO" at the top of their fucking lungs when anything they like happens. Did Ninja start that trend? I bet it was that blue haired little piece of shit.

"Read the room." Obnoxious and creepy. Basically, stop having any thoughts that deviate from the norm. Ideally, communicate only in easily digestible memes and buzzwords. Mind-meld with the room, citizen.

Reading the room is an ability that's required for survival in totalitarian societies, and I hate that shit.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

One thing I've noticed is that all 3 of the major shit trends in the past 20 years have "social" in them, and rather ironically.

"Social media" in the '00s.

"Social justice" in the 2010s.

"Social distancing" in 2020.

So any new shit trend that appears in the next 10 or so years will likely begin with "social" as well.

They taught me that in high school...

"I'm OBSESSED with this!" Just say you like it you closeted tard

 

[Cantercoin]

Every single person I've seen who says "dudebro" unironically looks like a massive faggot

 

[Xarpho]

Using "y'all" if you're not from the South. Ironically, the types that use this also tend to believe that "cultural appropriation" is bad and should be avoided.

 

[Pina Colada]

"Shoutout to all the X who Y" used to and still makes me tear my hair out. It's bad enough that I saw it in every other Tumblr post, but then the exodus happened and now it's spilled all over Twitter.
