This coincides will my belief is the rise of self-degrading memes running rampant on every social platform I use. Every "funny" slogan, has a negative connotation, or self-degrading message attached to it. "When you only have $4.20 in your bank account", "How I look in the mirror vs tagged photo", etc.
We need to be very, very hesitant about identifying trends we see on social platforms, because most social platforms are highly optimized to show us the trends we want to see.
