Gen Z Kids Pursue "Grannycore"

[Jacob Petersheim]

My own kids are far older than this, so I was largely unaware. But there seems to be a trend back toward self-sufficiency, knowing how things work, and working with one's hands among the young in Western society.

As an old fart myself, I only hope this is true and more than a fad. I always appreciate a glimmer of hope for humanity.

Crafts, skills, camping, retro-tech, clubs and human contact. This is enough of a trend to have come to the attention of mass media.

I feel very bad for the youth today. We have 13 grand kids and great grands keep adding up, think the count now is around 15.
The world today is more dangerous in more ways.
Sadly, I also think it is more about procession's than family. I always wanted to get a place in the country for my kids with lots of animals. chic's and equine. We have that now but never could get it for the kids.
Now it is all about big homes and new cars. Mothers working and strangers raising their kids. Living above their means. Not all of course. I've learned to keep my mouth shut though.
