A lot of younger people think it's because older people are trying to look cool or recapture their youth. I think that's because of years of sitcom jokes and commercials. I'm just out here trying to have a good time and I hope everyone else gets that opportunity as well.

People who think in memes seem to map everything they see onto one. I think it's just automatic. They also don't know what objectivity is, so if you criticize that mentality they assume you're only defending a particular stereotype you personally fit. Now that I think of it, this level of brain function is so common it actually kind of explains how Americans just elected a convicted criminal for President.
