found this tiktok theorizing that the key difference between how gen z and millenials communicate is that gen z are more literal whereas millenials use more irony. in the video the creator also talks about how gen z music doesn't connect with him because he finds it too literal for his taste. i thought this could be an interesting discussion because i definitely see his point. what do yall think?

look up meta-irony

there's ur answer

When Future said “gang of Koreans talk to me proper” was that supposed to be ironic or literal?

yeah i think the overuse of meta-irony (irony poisoning) especially within online circles may have caused this sort of hypervigilance around how ideas are communicated within gen z

what millennial artist use irony?

Honestly never mind out now

early tyler vs tyler now

future-ironic

There's tons of boomer music that is literal and idk enough gen z music to comment

Zoomers are the greatest generation and will save the planet 🫶🫶🫶

what does too literal mean in this context, idgi

gonna sound like a pick me but tht s*** gets old pretty fast as a z-er

it's funny here n there tho

it was both
obviously listening to a Future verse, when you hear him say "gang" you'll think of some dudes from East Atlanta with dreadlocks and Dracos. but Koreans have tight knit communities and form groups of their own that could be considered a "gang" in a way. the real meaning of the line is to show that he came from tha mud, and a group of Korean professionals that would have probably made jokes about the person Future was before fame now treat him with respect bc of how much he has achieved

Damn that’s the BS humor we all be on nowadays

Never knew

Drake stans need to convince themselves HNVM was ironic to keep their mental image of Drake’s discog untainted
