>ASDFmovie gets called cringe everywhere on both tiktok and instagram, rightfully for having unfunny jokes>Goes on a rant about how "Sincerity is dead" Why do so many hack creatives do this?
You need to be born before 1999 to get it
I mean, they're not wrong. If you genuinely try to make something new or interesting and it doesn't hit the mark, people will shout it down and call it cringe. Your options are to either make something genuinely transcendent, or not try and play it incredibly safe.
>>153201547so fragile of a bitch his balls if he had any packed and left.
You people are so miserable.
This is the third time you made this thread. Did you run out of things to complain about?
>>153201636This is the most soi reddit response possible.
>>153201547>It's the fish hat again
>>153201585Born in 1999 and I never found this humor funny even as a kid.
>>153201902Well no shit, he said you need to be born before 1999.
>>1532015851997 here. I found this shit painfully unfunny even when I was young and a kid who tried to show it to the class got made fun of for it.
>>153201547He’s right.Zoomers need to stop being so afraid of being sincere and stop being ironic all the time.
>>153201585Yup I was born in 98 and I fucking love ASDFmovie, that shit was dope
>>153201547>Butthurt Zoomer makes the same thread again and again
>>153201585>>153201902>>153201998>>153202002Holy zoomshit meetup
>>153202102>I’m 47 on 4chans cartoon board, I’m a real winnerShouldn’t you have a wife and a job by now, pops?
I think it's reasonable that some people are tired of everything needing to be layered under 5 irony shields. Having to deal with people who are genuinely frightened of being genuine is a nightmare.
>>153202001"embrace your cringe"How about just stop making shit content?
>>153202001Bro this stuff is so corny.
>>153201547He's right and I dislike how X and Millennials made people ashamed of sincerity and enjoying things. Zoomers became neurotic weirdos who feel like they'll have their dick chopped off if they at all show any sincerity or genuine emotion without guarding themselves.
>>153202331Shut up
>>153201547He's right though. Cringe culture is a blight on society>t. 2004 zoomer
>>153202102Gen Z is 1994-2010
>>153202429>>153202370If people make shit content; people are going to shit on it. It has nothing to do with whatever irony, post irony bullshit you're spreading. It all has to do with the quality of the content. That's never going to change.
>>153202370>millennialswere the cringiest most corny weirdos during their teenage and coming of age years. zoomers simultaneously make fun of how millennials were growing up while wishing they grew up in that era and sometimes even aping the fashion trends. it's baffling.
>>153201547IT'S THE FISH HAT AGAIN!
>>153202122I have a wife and kids, no job because I'm retired. Unlike you I experienced pre 9/11 flights and real personal freedom. And I still like comics.
>>153202122https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msxsu448JmEBut the answer is that the economy is always bad and women are garbage and he's likely to be divorced and you can never leave.
>>153202167This
>>153201998Tell the full story anon.
>>153201547I blame YouTubers like Oneyplays They bullied people for being genuine and now we have a generation of young people afraid of being sincere out of the chance they become a lolcow and be cyberbullied.
>>153202608This has been happening since the literal mesopetamian era. Fuck off retard.
>>153202507>I have a wife and kidsI doubt that. Proof?>no job because I'm retiredNow you're just taking the piss out of us. Just say that you're a NEET, please.>Unlike you I experienced pre 9/11 flights and real personal freedomAnd you ended up a faggot so I don't think those things did you any favor.>And I still like comics.Floppies will never recover, and the industry will die a slow, painful death. But hey, we still have more issues of Captain Faggot coming out soon to your lcs if anyone bothers to come to them for issues and not cards or tgs.
>>153202473no it fucking isn't
>>153202001this
>>153202783>>153202429>>153202370This is the same cringe and retarded over correction.
>>153201547>do the same shit for 20 years>get upset when people get bored of it>get absolutely pooper peeved when people who don't give a fuck about your middle aged cries for attention point out that your shit ain't funny anymoreTom should have started his growth period as a creator about 15 years ago and instead he just coasted on the same exact set of jokes while releasing minimal, if any videos worth anyone's time.
>>153202370Sincerity is a term reserved for genuine displays of human emotion. Not the SIXTEENTH iteration of>hey it's a thing>and the punchline is that something else happened instead of the obvious, normal thing you expected>repeat for 2-3 minutes
>>153201547He is right. Young people are so afraid of being sincere and serious that they have hidden behind a hundred layers of irony and uncaring apathy.
Why do people speak like this now?
>>153202986That's just how third worlders on the internet speak now
>>153202507>I experienced a jewish psyop therefore I have the right to dehumanize youK
Does anyone else feel like this whole irony bullshit is a super American thing? I swear to god, whenever I look at other cultures around the world, they genuinely engage with things and don't feel the need to hide themselves like American's do. I don't feel like this eternal irony poisoning exists anywhere else.
>>153202986I never liked asdfmovie but I want to side with Tom just to spite those mongoloid zoomers.
>>153203231Somewhat
>>153201754Le no, le this is le moast soi Redditchan lesponse le possible!
>>153203231It's because America's younger generations are actually fucking retarded and have grown up with a badly warped understanding of what it means to even watch or talk about a piece of media.
>>153201547Where does the whole “people nowadays don’t like sincerity” come from exactly? If anything, I’ve seen more people complaining about a LACK of sincerity than vice versa. Anime is super popular these days too, and I’d say those stories have plenty of sincerity
>>153203567Browse tiktok and instagram reels for 5 minutes and you'll get the idea.
>>153203567Most of those people think anime is cringe and weird and only watch mainstream "safe" shounen. They aren't actually engaging with the medium sincerely. Pretty much anything outside of that, they'd still consider you cringe and weird for it.
People have always made fun of nerds and autists, I don’t know why you guys are turning this into a generational thing [spoilers]like you always do[/spoiler]
>>153203791The internet makes a difference
>>153203567just because they complain about it doesn't mean they aren't equally quick to shriek 'cringe' or 'pretentious', self awareness isnt a skill most have.
>>153202507>Unlike you I experienced pre 9/11 flights and real personal freedomI get to tie my shoes without throwing my back out for two weeks, geezer.
>>153201547asdf movie is just unfunny 2DTV and it can't be edgy or offensive like viz
>>153202710>just dox yourself because... Because just do it, ok!God you zoomers are retarded.>>153203970You will never own property. You will never retire.
>>153202370But millennial humor wasn't irony-poisoned, we were posting shit like longcat is long and all your base and DO A BARREL ROLL, that shit was the opposite of poisoned by irony, if zoomers were cognizant in the early-mid 2000s they would have called everyone cringe and bitched about all the memes that were based on anime and shit.
>>153204125eh, we had our fear of sincerity too. i recall every instance of a man being emotionally vulnerable or sincere with a male friend was greeted with accusations of him being a gay gay homothings haven't changed in that way really, what with /co/ whining about puss in boots having a panic attack or whatever else
The only funny joke in it was the guy who sometimes turns into a train joke.
Honestly I could say everyone in this whole situation is a fucking idiot.Saying it as a zoomer myself I ain’t really liking these annoying shallow npc normies of people infesting the net with their god awful selves, yet at the same time understand that tomska isn’t a very creative nor comedic creator. He’s an annoying millennial who just won’t shut the fuck up and accept the fact he is an obnoxious whiny bitch with an ego problem.The only thing he’ll he remembered for his is unfunny skits like the other so called creative and funny YouTubers like smosh and shit like that
>>153201547It's true, kids these days have been absolutely brainrotten by the internet. They're 10 layers deep in irony and anything sincere is cringe.That's why their idea of comedy is incomprehensible drivel like skibidi toilet and 6-7.
>>153205089Couldn't you say the same thing about Tomska and the ASDFmovie series? The comedy is retardslop.
>>153203791Yeah autistic sincerity has always been an object of mockery, since autists tend to be painfully earnest about their weird passions.
>>153201547>I'll take being corny over that any day>now please stop I can't take being called corny for the love of god stoplol
>>153205425https://x.com/thetomska/status/2026014450424176903He literally does the thing he's complaining about too.
>>153202001God fucking damn no. Everyone got tired of the constant Millennial posturing about "don't yuck other's yum" and "fuck irony poisoning, I'm so genuine, tee hee" If people find someone else's shit cringe, they're not saying it to appeal to the social group. They are just fucking judging you. If they feel like something's too cringe for them to do, they're not abstaining in order to save face or adhere to societal pressure, they're just holding themselves to their own standards.Hell, the whole mindset that everyone's just repressed and 2 shades away from being fucking quirk chungus all the time is in itself another form of societal pressure. "Oh sorry, you genuinely felt something but it was the wrong thing, so that's not heckin valid; hold up the spork immediately or be detained"
>>153204505I liked his 9/11 ska song
>>153205487does "cringe" not mean (second-hand) embarassment? like someone has committed a faux pas or exposed themselves? how can you divorce that from societal pressure and saving face?
>>153202608This anon speak the truth. Oney and other cyberbullies make people not want to be creative out of fear of being harassed.Just look at how many death threats Linkara got from Oney’s fans.
>>153201547This is what happens when you have a generation of Zoomers and GenAoomers raised by people like Jack Doherty and the Hauk Tuah Girl.
>>153205487What do you think cringing is
>>153201547Trump needs to draft Zoomers and see them to fight for Israel and Ukraine. Maybe the they will be less Ironic.
>>153201547>>153201547Zoomers and Gen A are literally the most vain and insecure generations ever. All they care about is the approval of strangers and looking cool (or “hella bussin, senpai” as they say these days).
>>153202001/thread
>>153201547millennial humor gets less and less funny to each passing generation.
Tomska is a fag but he's 100% right. Zoomers are all afraid of sincerity because they were born into a gay retard social media panopticon and spend every day of their lives worried that they might make a faux pas that will haunt them until they die.
>>153206747What it has always been: recoiling from the feeling of embarrassment, and as said in that post, you can be embarrassed solely for and by yourself because you are holding yourself to your own standards and image, completely disconnected from societal pressure
I’ve never understood the idea that>you HAVE to make fun of yourself immediately before anyone else does, otherwise you’re insecure!I cannot think of something more insecure than rushing to hate your own creation just to get validation from people who hate it without having even seen it.
>>153206881And you're a lost cause of a human being if you think that's what drives zoomer mentality. People tend to be herd animals until their late 20s.
>>153206928Zoomers are turning 30 this year, dumbass
>>153202370>>153204125I agree with the latter anon.'It's cool to not try' was more a Gen X thing. A half turn subversion of the boomer (actual baby boomer) 'he looks like he's not even trying that's so cool' that's more what "cool" meant in the first place.
>>153201547I feel sorry for the younger generations having their entire lives attached to the internet and never being able to freely express themselves out of fear of their lives being ruined forever. Makes me wish for the days IPhones didn’t exist.
>>153201998You were obviously that kid and have trauma from the bullying you got afterwards
>>153202171How do we stop making shit content? How can I be a good writer?
>>153206881embarrasment is a social phenomenon. even when you're alone, even if you were the only person on earth, it's due to the social-wiring parts of your ape brain
>>153207251and is shaped by the rules/norms you've absorbed via watching and interacting with others. it's different for different cultures and different people but your concept of what's embarrassing is at least somewhat shaped by others.pretending you're too above being worried about others' opinions and it has no impact on your feekings... is kinda cringe
>>153205487Dave Strider wasn't meant to be a role model.
>>153203362>>153201754He wouldn't be accused of being soyy if he ditched those glasses and shaved that fucking beard.
This and Dick Figures were great to watch in High School, but yeah... time flies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYNdUM2gRsgAs for the newest one, this is the one I liked the most.https://youtu.be/qcwqUf_B5mM?si=9fByzt6-Qw70RFYC&t=75Honestly for how long he's been doing this you'd think he'd just let it runoff him.
>>153201547He's entirely correct though. A fear of sincerity is what's been killing stories.
>>153201547I'm surprised asdfmovie is still going on. I haven't thought about it since 2014.
>>153207251>>153207318>no man is an island + bioessentialismcriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinge
>>153201547FISH HAT AGAIN made me chortle
>>153203567Lolcow culture is much more popular now than in the 2010's: LCF and kiwifarm had been 3x more active post-covid than in the last decade.
The newest asdfmovie was good and an improvement after the last few had been lame. I will always like Tom, regardless of his faults.
>>153208338>fuck you i am an island! i am a special snowflake who's just built different!lol you're not even cringe, you're hilarious
>>153205487Nobody said any of that. Zoomers hide behind irony and feigned apathy the same way millennials hid behind quirk and "depression." It's your generational poison, shaped by being the first kids born into the post social media culture where everything you do may be recorded and distributed online. Don't demonstrate too much investment. Play it safe. Pearl clutch. Check others before they check you. Make it look casual. Repeat.
something like smiling friends is the result of this kind of culture, proof that it didn’t start with zoomers but they are the most impacted. gen a will likely be worse tho.

>>153214351You're right. Wanna cuddle?
>>153208338in order words you’re now using cringe to differentiate between yourself and the other, like those nice anons told you

>>153214559>in order wordsAs usual, the anti-cringe and pro-unfettered-genuinality crowd still can't actually listen to other people and instead attribute what they actually think is going on, decreasing actual sincerity and unfettered expression in the world.You're cringe.
>>153214587You'd have a point if not for the fact that zoomers and alphies speak like this in real life too.It's part of why you goofy fucktards can't get jobs.
>>153214610you literally used "cringe" purely to indicate your disagreement with two concepts, which you reduced the other anon's words down to.you are king of projection
>>153214675>which you reduced the other anon's words down toNope, not at all. That would be the case if he was attributed to the opposite group and then attacked solely on that, but instead it's purely responding to his own words as-is while also attributing him to that stance. A potential issue in its own right, if he's just joining the reply chain on the opposite side but nevertheless as a third party, but then that's something easily clarified compared to his action of just outright changing intent, content, and action behind words.Your ability to read this is cringe. Your, what is effectively lying by making your post, is cringe. Your entire being is cringe. You're cringe.
>>153214610>Cringe isn’t relational! >I get embarrassed within myself for myself and it has nothing to do with anyone else!>Makes one mistake in a conversation>Needs to put embarrassment somewhere>You’re cringe. This is what I mean
>>153214815all you do is vomit up words you think sound smart and say "cringe", huh?
>>153214946Of course, because he cares a lot about what other people think lol
>>153201547>rightfully for having unfunny jokesI find they are funny, IMO.
>>153214936>>Makes one mistake in a conversation>>Needs to put embarrassment somewhereI don't understand why you would come to participate in a forum if you're instead going to just stay within your own fantasy and not actually listen to other people. It's masturbatory. >>153214946>vomit up words you think sound smartHas /co/ really gone so downhill as for ANYTHING in that post to sound like a five-dollar word to you?Cringe.

And your "fuck you, got mine" mentality will come back to bite you in the ass when "your children" dump your ass in a retirement home and sell all your floppies for chump change.
>>153215347Which is an incredibly odd thing to say, since this reply chain is whether or not cringe can be entirely self-sourced, not whether people don't care about interacting with others at all in addition to that. Especially since the entire point of coming to this site is to interact with others, unless you're a public masturbator like that other guy might be.If you've either made it this far with such a basic yet large mistake in comprehension, or if you just generally can't view people in multifaceted ways and think you have a point, then you're just not equipped for this at all and won't be wasting any more of my time
>>153215505>bioessentialismNo kidding.
>>153215134i didn't say *i* think you sound smart. you're just obviously trying too hard to come across that way. it's cringe
>>153215505To "cringe" means embarrassment. There is no embarrassment without other people, or the idea thereof. Feeling upset for failing your own standards (which did not come purely out of you when you emerged from the ether whole-cloth, by the way) is not "cringe".To think something is "cringe" to yourself is one thing. To declare it in order to let other people know you think so - why? Why do others need to know, if this is not a social phenomenon, if you are not either seeking to validate your determination, or convince others of it. Maybe even to purposefully try to shame, which is what this whole thread is about (sometimes even just for social approval or to "protect yourself", good for you if you don't do this, though I don't think it was great you were using it as a browbeating rhetorical technique).Why pretend you're a above all this while arguing so much on 4chan?
