Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

for the sake of documentation it must be noted "NPC" has now replaced "boomer" on /pol/, /mu/, /o/, /sp/, and several other boardsView attachment 538024 View attachment 538025

I was wondering where this meme came from.

The speed with which the memes mutate is fascinating.

That's nothing, they're also using the term Zoomer as of late.

That's nothing, they're also using the term Zoomer, whatever the fuck that means.

Zoomers are the kids born roughly after 9/11. The hip kids who dye their hair crazy colours, play Fortnite and listen to 6ix9ine. It's mostly used to make Boomer vs Zoomer comparisons.

Also the NPC meme is so disgustingly forced, based on some meme study that was done by some literal whos. I don't remember even boomerposting derailing a thread as much as someone claiming everyone in the thread are actually not real.

I don't know what it means for sure, but I'd guess gen Z.

@ure_mum has a better explination, but more or less.

And frankly all of these Bomer/Zoomer/NPC memes are shit. Why do the mods over there even allow them? They just result in flamewarring and ruining threads that could have been okay or making already shitty threads even shittier.

/pol/ has mods?

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

/pol/ has mods?

They do, but they alternate being hands off and overly butthurt.

And I was meaning more like 4Chan in general, as those terms are present on the other boards too.

All 4chan is /pol/ now

I thought of this more as replacing their use of the phrase "bug men". Zoomers are a different demographic.

Doesn't change the fact that most of 4Chan already is in the 18-40 demographic in the first place. So by their logic, everyone there is a Boomer/Zoomer/Whateverthefuck.

What study is this, and what is it meant to imply? I don't really understand the meme beyond "people I don't like".

I didn't read the study originally, but I saw people referencing it when talking about NPCs. Going though the archives, you'll find that it's based on some article from, I'm not joking, 2011.
Not Everyone Conducts Inner Speech
The tl;dr of it is that a study was done on 30 students in a university and they found that only a quarter of them experienced inner speech and seeing. Why it suddenly became popular, I have no idea. Maybe someone from /x/ (I got the feeling the true origin of this "meme" is from there) dug it up again and spread it to /pol/, as an alternative for "shill" and so.

Ah, so "people have different thought processes, maybe" becomes "Everyone but me is a soulless automaton".

And apparently, a Zoomer is someone who plays Fortnite and "promotes" e-Celebs, even if you state you hate them.

So if someone disagrees with you:
-If they're older than you, they're a boomer who should just fuck off to a nursing home
-If they're younger than you, they're a zoomer who should learn to respect their elders
-If they're the same age, they're a soulless NPC who isn't even human
