its funny to see millennials and older gen z making fun of younger gen z and gen alpha for their brainrot
âŚas if the nyan cat, rage comics, and vine clips werenât pretty much the same thing lol

I donât make fun of gen alpha for 67, but we have to admit that the meme is a random nonsense. Nyan cat, rage comics and vine clips do have a point which makes them funny, but shouting 67 while doing so without any purpose simply because itâs a meme is inherently pointless. Let the kids have fun with 67 but it is just so random.

Fuck, yeah, I forgot about deep philosophical lore of nyan cat, the profound lore of it, the deep meaning.

They werenât.
6-7 is literally not meant to have meaning. Itâs meaning is that it doesnât have meaning. Thatâs the joke.

So what meaning did Nyan cat have? Or rick rolling, or badger badger badger, or most anything that you would have seen on ytmdâŚ
Lumisal@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Rick Rolling the meaning is pranking someone.
Badger Badger Badger itâs the humor of the song and animation, and the unexpectedness of the mushroom, plus some absurdism of course.
Nyan Cat is the closest, in that itâs just absurdist, but also it had a catchy song and was art.
6-7 is pure absurdism. There isnât a meaning to it, and itâs lack of meaning is the joke. Itâs meaningless is so absolute that the brain defaults to base pattern recognition to give it any semblance of meaning.
And Iâm not saying thatâs bad. Iâm just stating that itâs literally a meaningless joke. Some may ascribe itâs rise to prevalence as part of modernized brain rot culture, itself an extremist version of absurdist humor that began to rise in the 80s with Gen X and exploded with millennial, but evolved through very compressed short form content.
To me, I think itâs maybe a prelude to an increase in dark humor again (and indeed we saw a rise for a moment in which 6-7 was given a dark twist with the mixing of SCP fiction with itâs focus on voidness, emphasizing the insanity of the meaninglessness of the meme, but also the emptiness of everything) similar to millennials, since I think Gen Alpha already sees how bad the situation is for their generation even at a young age and will eventually perhaps evolve to a mixture of dark nihilistic violent humor; the meaningless of 6-7 itâs expression of nihilism in a humorous way.
But thatâs just a theory. A meme theory.
