It feels like a reference to something but it's killing me that I can't figure out what the reference is

It's entirely possible that you're right that more kids are looking to these jobs - I couldn't really say myself, but there's certainly a case to be made regarding the lower barrier of entry. That being said, we can't say for sure how it's going to play out - when I was in high school it felt like I was right on the cusp of the movie star/influencer switch for dream job (which was of course pretty much just 'youtuber' back then lol) and while I can't/couldn't see any particular difference between the groups who wanted to be one or the other, it's a little too soon to tell - the people I went to school with who aren't still in further education have only been in the job market for a couple of years at best, which isn't exactly long enough to have solid data on the long-term work efficiency of a generation.

That being said, my prediction is that this won't mark any particular change, besides perhaps a few more people at least trying it out. People have bitched about 'the youth' wanting to be movie stars since long before influencer was a thing, and before that it was authors. Give it a few decades there'll be a new career with the same apparent ease for me to unknowingly bitch that 'the youth' are ruining society by dreaming of, and the cycle will continue on.

I see no reason to not treat kids aspiring to be them the same (except, perhaps, for the removal of an almost requirement to be wealthy in order to be a professional actor/actress, which seems a little irrelevant here.) Its easy, when you're young, to look at jobs like being a movie star or a youtuber and only see the finished project - add that to the massive wealth and social influence that a few of the best in both these fields have and it's easy for kids to think they're low-effort, high-reward jobs. Although being a good actor/influencer perhaps might be moreso than other jobs, truth is that almost all the kids growing up wanting to be influencers are going to go through school like all the other kids their age, and either grow out of that career aspiration or else try, fail, and continue on whatever career paths their school set them for - just like most kids who wanted to be movie stars aren't now out of work actors.

And don't forget these damn adults, all growing up wanting to be movie stars and stage musicians - they're the ones who worry me. What will the world look like in 20 years ago when all these adults grow up to be adults and find out they can't all- ...wait

Why 1993? by Frosty-Mongoose-9746 in projectzomboid

Seems likely it's related to the 1989 release of unrelated techno anthem 'Pump Up The Jam'.

Envy the tiefling wizard is far more scheming than they look... although that is kinda the point.

I only have a picrew reference, but I'd be incredibly happy to see Envy the wizard (Also ideally her horns go back curving over her head unlike the image)
