I was raised by the internet,
Raised by people who played Minecraft,
Raised by vines,
Raised by conspiracies
Gamers,
Chat apps,
Littlest Pet Shops,
Musical.ly,
Gmod,
Overwatch,
YouTubers…
But that’s changed,
Hasn’t it?
This isn’t the 2010s,
This is not early 2000s
It was once.
I know if I go into a room and say
“Look at all those chickens”
“It’s an avocado, thanks”
“Welp, when life gives you lemons”
“Duke, do you want the ball?”
“Road work ahead? Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does”
People will understand me.
But, that’s faded now,
Hasn’t it?
People who once only played minecraft have moved on,
Or it would turn out they are not that great.
Or people have stepped away.
Moved on,
Mostly.
From focusing on family,
To burnout,
To making movies,
The people from our childhoods
Have moved on.
But so have we.
From coming home from school,
Doing homework,
And going on a computer (or phone) to watch let’s plays,
Vine comps,
Gmod prop hunt…
Oh wait.
I still do that.
I think you do too.
Watching Minecraft SMPs,
Game Theories,
TikTok compilations,
TikTok skits that have a storyline,
Video game let’s plays,
If you didn’t,
Why did you make it to the end?
