Chemical industry worker, are you a laid-back young person? ---------------------------- At the end of 2017, those born in the 1970s and 1990s both became popular. Not long ago, those born in the 1970s became the \"greasy middle-aged\"” ; Not long after, those born in the 1990s became the \"carefree youth.\" These two groups attract attention because of their shared essence: whether it’s the sense of greasiness or the \"carefree\" attitude, both represent a kind of self-deprecating sense of helplessness. Some people joked accordingly: \"A few months ago you mocked the greasy people born in the 1970s, not realizing that the ‘carefree’ approach is actually the inevitable path to becoming greasy in middle age.\" ” Regardless of the version, the meaning remains the same: it refers to today’s post-90s generation, who are now \"calm and composed,\" able to take many things in stride, remain indifferent to them. Another factor that contributed to the popularity of the term “carefree youth” was Dou Jingtong, born in 1997: In a video, she became a trending topic because of her haircut, and many people thought she had become a monk. People joked that she was doing this in response to the call that \"the first generation of people born in the 1990s have taken monastic vows.\" Since then, the \"carefree youth\" phenomenon has officially emerged. It also spread among ordinary people, giving rise to a group of people who adopt a \"carefree\" attitude – A carefree social circle: liking posts casually, as an expression of love and encouragement ; Calm passenger: You stop there; I can walk over by myself ; Calm love: Shall we be in a relationship? It’s fine, it depends on you ; Calm approach to fitness: A little walking on the treadmill is enough to help you live to 99 ; Calm eater: What to eat for lunch? One more of yesterday’s, please ; Casual dating: If you swipe right, do things that bring you joy; don’t ask whether it’s fate or misfortune ; Calm parenting: There won’t be many successful children; why make childhood so difficult? ; Calm shopping: I buy it if it’s suitable; if not, I’ll just keep it ; Calm employees: Go to work safely and come back home peacefully. ““It can’t be taken lightly, but it shouldn’t either.” The self-mockery among those born in the 1990s has also drawn attention. The “ZZ Daily Commentary” section on the WeChat official account of XX Daily states that, on the one hand, this can represent a casual and open-minded attitude free from competition, scheming, or flattery ; On the other hand, this could also be laziness and negativity in the face of competition and pressure. It also compares the \"Buddhist-style\" attitude with Japan’s \"society of low desires,\" hoping that those born in the 1990s will approach this \"Buddhist-style\" attitude by \"not taking it too seriously, but also not underestimating it.\" Some argue that behind the concept of \"carefree youth\" lies not a lack of desires, but rather a sense of meaninglessness, with \"despondency\" being just one manifestation of this.
I’ve been looking at it for a long time, but I still don’t understand what “Buddha-style” means.
Can it be described as indifference?
I think the emergence of this laid-back attitude is associated with the post-90s generation; perhaps they don’t face as much pressure as those born in the 80s, so they don’t need to be as driven by utilitarian motives and can just follow their heart
Young people born in the 1990s had a significantly higher standard of living in their childhood compared to those born in the 1980s, which led to them developing a habit of having lower aspirations from an early age.
