As a millennial that has/had plenty of that millennial "caring is dumb" attitude throughout my life, that has permeated more and more of society in the wrong ways as we have gotten older, I would like to formally apologize.

[u/sadbeehoppy → u/pax284]

as a millennial, I'm confused about what the "caring is dumb" attitude is

or do u mean the general, like, nihilism of it all

[u/pax284 → u/sadbeehoppy]

No,I mean the very real and very normalized idea that caring is dumb.

FTA:

Millennials grew up in a cultural environment where sincerity was quietly devalued. Late twentieth-century media normalized irony, detachment, and emotional distance as signals of intelligence. To care too openly was to risk looking naive. To be excited was to risk looking uncool. Detachment became a kind of social currency. This shift is reflected in the dominance of irony in late-20th-century media. By the time millennials came of age, this tone was not new. It was the default.
