I mean I'll fully admit that I don't know the intricacies of Gen Z humor. I've heard some of it, and there's a lot about it that I don't understand. It can be amusing with the sheer volume of absurdism that it contains. I used to despair over "not getting the joke" until I realized that in many cases, there's nothing to get. It's just absurdist buffoonery channeled into shitpost-tier memes.

Maybe they do have elements of dark humor that I haven't picked up on, but if so it's very different from millennial dark humor. A lot of the shit we used to joke about would not fly these days, and in many cases it's with good reason. You'd be labeled a psycho if you tried.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
