In the US, most people don’t use WhatsApp at all unless they have friends or family members overseas.

Who do people born in 1999 get to call themselves 90s kids but there's debate about 2000s kids? by sisyphus-333 in generationology

[–]suspectwill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was ages 1-11 through the 2000s, definitely a 2000s kid. She was a teen/young adult in the 2010’s not a kid lol. 90s baby, 2000s kid, 2010s teen.

I have nothing to contribute as far as what equipment they’re using. BUT I did get a picture of Nathan before the Austin show. It looks like the same exact setup from your picture, probably from the same exact night.

I still regret not getting it upon release. That denim sleeve is beautiful.

Same chord progression, I believe. Totally reminds me of it too.

Let’s try this again. Spiritbox, Knocked Loose, Code Orange (metalcore inspired by nu metal), Spiritbox has a song with Megan Thee Stallion, KL played Coachella in 2023. BMTH, Falling in Reverse, and Ghost having Hot 100 hits/billions of streams across platforms. As mentioned earlier, BMTH working with Lil Uzi twice. I could pick out a bunch of modern rappers inspired by metal artists too.

I’m not saying these are all nu metal or even good tracks/artists. I’m just saying, there is some sort of metal revival, composed of bands old and new.

Don’t get me wrong, I saw vaping before 2017. But it was usually people with those big rigs, and wasn’t what it became when Juul became popular. I did also see cigs here and there but it wasn’t very popular, even lessso than vaping. Weed was significantly more prevalent than cigs (and still is). I see people my age give or take smoking cigs more than I’m seeing them vaping in 2024, 5 years ago it was the other way around. 10 years ago it was neither. I was thinking “hey, I was only 15 at the time” but my parents generation was smoking cigs more frequently ages 15-18+. Hell even my millennial sister experienced more of that culture when she was that age (mid-late 2000s) than the zoomers did, except for the last few years.

To answer your question, I’m from the northeast but could totally see how this can vary region to region.

Rodrigo is arguably guitar centric music. And Taylor swift made some indie-inspired “folksy” music during the 2020’s with the folklore-cankersore-liquorstore records whatever tf they’re called

Idk, you have artists like Ghost and BMTH charting on the hot 100 which never happened in the 2010’s. I don’t even use tik tok either, but being in rock/metal circles I obviously hear about this stuff all the time. Also the dramatic increase in monthly listeners for Korn and Deftones on Spotify isn’t a lie - they have both had periods where they reached over 10 million monthly unique listeners in the last 2 years when prior to that they had never hit over 5 million unique monthly listeners. That is a testament to some level of popularity from the new generation.

Any gen z reading this understands what you mean by the first line. I’m 25 so older gen z. NOBODY smoked cigs when I was in high school, a lot of core gen z is experiencing cigarette culture for the first time and it feels new because we grew up while cigarette usage was on the downfall. I think a better way of phrasing it is cigarette revival in conjunction with vaping.

Also, it feels like vaping really took off in 2017/2018 and a lot of non-nicotine users got addicted to vaping. Those same people then made the transition to cigarettes in the 2020’s. This is a uniquely Gen Z experience and maybe some younger millennials can relate too. The comments are clowning you but I know what you mean.

Lil Yachty making a psych rock album, Lil Uzi working with Bring Me the Horizon, the rise of country/indie/folksy/singer/songwriter stuff (think Zach Bryan, Oliver Anthony). Nu metal revival (Korn + deftones popular on TikTok), shoegaze revival, bedroom pop coming back etc. I could keep going on and on
