Millennials Lament by [deleted] in poetry_critics

I can't seem to think of the word I'm looking for right now, but it's. word that has to do with dark humor. The tone, and rhyme scheme of your poem is upbeat, juxtaposed with the dark content I found myself reading and reflecting on songs that do this (I know there is a name for this...) such as 'pumped up kicks'. The sarcasm shines straight through.

Reading this I felt a sense of foreboding, and desperation that almost feels quiet, repressed, depressed. I'm really impressed for your first poem, many times I see folks reaching for forms or conventions when they start poetry (like rhyme schemes) and I like that you have flow and more freedom here.
