You may have seen this video many times on Twitter and heard this song many times
A middle-aged man is dancing alone in the dance floor, oblivious to everything around him
Actually, what this meme represents is not important at all; what matters is:
This 3-minute video is almost the best portrayal of our group of middle-aged men born in the 80s and 90s:
- Absurd yet extremely self-aware
- Immersed in nostalgia
- Knowing that the world they know is rapidly collapsing, but can only laugh anxiously with the crowd, then play music and dance, otherwise what else can you do?
Our generation grew up in the context of "The world is yours, and ours, but ultimately it's yours" after the reform and opening up
But we stepped into adulthood amidst chaos, relying on stubbornness and self-deprecation to get by
