    Who is anon? I know who zoomers are. I hate those people generally. I as a zillennial am uncomfortable being part of a common microgeneration with some of them.

    I’m just saying, what’s the point of bragging about tech savviness if you can’t represent yourself in a way you control in the immediate? It’s either utility related or it’s more of an aesthetic appreciation. If it’s an aesthetic question then some degree of identification matters. Maybe after all these decades anon has ironically developed a degree of identity. In any case big data knows who peoples are so I don’t know what the point is in the nomenclature anymore as if it still has utility for actual social reform. I am Fisherman75. You can find my trail of related usernames and related histories and stories throughout the internet. I’m also a musician still trying to make it. Part of how I cope with big data - it’s branding. It becomes necessary, and anon even begins to develop a brand of its own that it finds itself curating ever so carefully. Since you’re not bragging about yourself as an individual it just becomes like a form of technonationalism verging on technostatism.
