I'm a very early Gen Z and I feel like a boomer lol

I do nerd things alone at home or maybe with a friend or two. DnD live shows, people traveling to play/watch e-sports... It's all so foreign to me. I don't feel resentment, but shock and disconnection are always present when I read headlines such as these. Like, I wouldn't dream in a million years to pay money to watch someone else play DnD, but then again, video game streamers exist. I can't wrap my head around this!

And just to be clear, I'm not bashing the people enjoying this form of content. I'm just expressing my disbelief at the fact that it exists at all. If I didn't know better, and saw something like this in a movie, I would call it fake and detached from reality. When in fact, I'm the one detached from my generation. Then again, I don't have any social media and I'm writing my thoughts on Lemmy, so I'm clearly not an example of what my generation looks like.
