In my experience, "social" trends always seem to happen in Europe, to GB, then to New York, then California and then spread out to America to reverberate the same "ripples" again.
A small side note, either I am exceptionally insightful (which is definitely true) or there are just many uninformed people out there (also true), one half of the anagram for NAZI is SOCIAL. National Socialist. That is what forms the anagram NAZI. Two words. National & Social. Now back to regularly-scheduled blah blah
It is shocking the trend coming out of GB is to turn off social media. I have never believed that phrase (social media) accurately describes the things depicted in the article such as platforms or ways of interacting. It is a marketing employment, and turned out to be a really effective one. Forcing a whole generation to believe that to not exist in "Social Media" is to not exist at all. This is definitely a large wave in "national mood" even though no evidence like this is produced as referring to the United States. But to beat the curve, we can look at what's coming to see when it will or IF it will manifest here.
If any consolation, the Kardashians (I use that as a baseline for the modern "connected" generation) they received much public renouncing with the Kanye MAGA backwash and a lot of other things. It was not one thing or another, it seemed like this plastic "family" had been melting for at least the last half decade. If we are here to study a 4th Turning situation, it is important to remember we should not expect anything we have seen before. It won't look the way we might expect. The reality is probably going to be reactionary and very large AGAINST things that have been hugely popular previously.
As for me, I've been sort of hiding in the corner waiting for this "social" mess to pass over, l'ange du mort, for years now. I have never had a personal fakebook account. Never had a personal twitter account either. And when ever using these things, I felt since the beginning it was some sort of Doom we all were swallowing as so much sticky ice cream in the heat because the power went out and why watch ice cream melt.
I truly did not see this until after posting -- Kardashian Ratings Freefall.
