They are using comparisons that modern young people would understand. If you don't know what the "Taylor Swift effect" is, then you are not the audience for this.

But see, the thing is, I think you do know they mean. I think you know why they are making the comparison, but you're just annoyed that everyone talks about a pop star like Taylor Swift all the time. And you think it's just an example of brain rot of modern society.

So just say that. Don't be all weird and try to have examples like the author of the piece is gonna read you comments and think, "Oh my! Good points. I should really change my style of writing for the nerds on Lemmy!"

Don't worry man, before long you will have a house of your own and you can tell the kids to stay off your lawn. lol

Think about that a bit. :)
