Postcards from Annecy ’21
If I were to take all of the names which society made up for my generation before settling for the boring and tepid millennials (what a complete lack of imagination that is reflective of the paradox of our limited horizons) – gen Y, the Internet generation, the Smartphone generation, the emo generation and so on – the one I’ll always be fondest of is the Cartoon Network generation. Not only because it reflects what might well be one of the last great generational coagulations around a singular and international (pop-)cultural pole, nor the fact that most of the people my age learned English from spending hours upon hours in front of the channel, not even its negative aspects – the fact that it primed us for a lifetime spent in front of the screens, amongst others; but especially because it reflects a certain playful side to my generation, its capacity (and propensity) for humor, a certain kind of effervescence and spontaneity, an imagination that is doubled down by escapism.
