That feels like an online thing.

In real life, if you surround yourself with the right people, sincere conversations are still very much a daily occurence.

Right? Online my friends and I are constantly sending each other relatable dark humor memes, no matter how serious the topic. Irl is where we hold sincere conversations and actually know how these issues affect us.

I completely agree, though I think it's one thing if no one is being serious while I totally get the frustration when you are putting something earnest out there and people respond with jokes.

A lot of the new artists coming out seem to be "raised by the internet" so I think that's part of the problem.

[la_petite_singe]

Definitely agree.
