Mike Hadge Pop Culture Part of growing up is learning some hard truths in real-time, be it “Oh wow, that costs more than I realized, “Oh wow, I didn’t know that part of me could make that noise,” or the classic, “WHYYYYYYY?” This week, users on social media have been sharing their most controversial, unpopular opinions about adulthood. The posts have been in response to a July 16th tweet asking, “What opinion about Adulthood will have you like this?” accompanied by the now-ubiquitous photo of Flynn Rider from Disney’s What opinion about Adulthood will have you like this? The responses have been cold, hard and in some cases, painfully true. However, there are some legitimately helpful takes mixed in there as well.
Let’s dive in: Your parents financial status will somehow determine how your adulthood will be. pdfs are the most annoying thing to work with and yet theyre the standard everywhere Nightclubs are a waste of time and money It’s not a scam 😅 you’re just living above your means. Your perception of success is fantasied luxury and social media has successfully sold you over consumption as the new normal.
🍃🍃🍃 If you live for you, adulthood – albeit all its challenges – is a beautiful thing. It's not that hard and you need to be more resilient The most of the adults that raised us didn't even know how to be adults themselves everybody has that depression phase nothing is promised Neglecting the things you enjoyed as a kid (e.g.
toys, video games, animation) is NOT how you become an adult. That's the greatest way to end up in depression. This adult feels seen.
However, X user really brings down the hammer of truth with this one...
It's not adulthood you hate, it's capitalism. Yeah, fair. Sorry, adulthood.
We may have been too harsh on you all these years..
