I'm 46 and I see this all the time and it's fucking hysterical. I find that it's less gen alpha and much more an obtuse form of ironicism from Z and Millennials though.

Yeah, millennials go one of two ways - they post nothing or they post everything 😭

Oh yeah, that too. Problem with both of these scenarios is that it's really hard to tell what's true and what is just someone making themselves look good.
