ABSURD SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS | Let’s discu...

ABSURDE.
About this episode

In this episode, we explore the weird and nonsensical social media trends that have captured our attention in recent years. From over-the-top gender reveal ceremonies to wasteful food bloggers, we discuss why these trends have become so popular, despite offering little real value to our lives.

We also discuss the underlying societal pressures that fuel our fascination with these trends, such as the need for validation and the fear of missing out. We ask ourselves why we participate in these trends, and what it says about our culture that we are drawn to such absurdity.

If you're tired of the constant stream of social media nonsense and want to engage in a thoughtful and insightful discussion about the culture that surrounds us, tune in to this episode and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Join us as we try to make sense of the absurdities that seem to dominate our digital lives.
