Where does today’s culture came from?

Cultural shifts

Is impressive how culture works.

Nowadays the discourse is the following:

No one should treat you bad, you are a wonderful person and you deserve respect, everyone should be accepted by who they are and you should never try to change anyone.

This has led to cancel culture, even if the idea is not to respect and accept others and be open-minded in reality it has become a close-minded culture that doesn’t accept others ideas. As the reader may now being open or close minded are opposite and one has to balance them, otherwise you would let your self being moved by others (open-minded) or closed to others opinions and perspectives (close-minded).

I am a young man and for maybe 5 years I had wondered where this culture came from, because looking back at my childhood things weren’t like that.

Now I think I understand the reason. In the mid 2000 there was this group of people (most teenagers) who felt insecure of themselves, this led to the emo culture, but after that culture came the aesthetic one, even though some people think this is a culture of partying and being egocentric, in reality it was a culture that developed for insecure male teenagers who looked at the world and didn’t saw a model with whom identify with, they didn’t heard about anyone who was insecure and came out of that stage, but in the gym goers guys they saw a model to follow:

A secure person who doesn’t care what people says, who always gets the girls and who came from being an insecure nerd just a couple of years before.

For a culture to be successful there has to be an exaggerated model to represent it, in this case it was Zyzz, the ugly part is that it generated a egocentric culture that teenagers admired and eventually it led to the today’s culture which is the complete opposite of it.

Recommendation: Don’t attack the culture or embrace it completely, it is there because some people feel identified with it; be intelligent and find out what it tells you about the current state of things or the inner feelings of some of your friends; don’t let yourself be radicalized nor indifferent.
