21st Century Digital PTSD

The result of harmful gifs, video or injected content into emails, AR or VR that triggered a traumatic response for the recipient. Current day example of a strobing gif sent to Kurt Eichenwald who has epilepsy, immediately inducing a seizure which could cause a panic reaction, akin to PTSD, upon opening emails in the future.
In increasing numbers, with the revelation of viral content bombs being injected into the VR Web, patients are exhibiting trauma responses that are now being diagnosed as "21st Century Digital PTSD". This form of PTSD, unique to this century and the digital world, can cause sufferers to eschew all forms of digital communication due to the trauma inflicted through the various platforms.

21st century girl 

A song by Willow Smith who sings how she's a 21st century girl when she was born in the last year of the 20th century. Anyways her memories probably only come from the 21st century.

That guy at work is a 21st century idiot boy he has no individuality anymore, he has no real ambitions, and signs paper work without reading it and can't survive without a pointless device that is used to control his life

21st Century Breakdown

The latest Green Day album, which killed the Green Day name. They decided to go from having albums with:
-Deep meaningful lyrics
-Guitar Solos
-Insane Drum Solos
-Songs with many verses and an infrequently repeated chorus
-A Punk Rock Sound

TO:

-Shallow lyrics
-Few to no Guitar solos
-NO DRUM SOLOS
-Songs that repeat the chorus TOO MUCH (Know your enemy repeats the chorus 12 times!)
-A POWER-POP SOUND

In general, they alienated their true fanbase for critical acclaim and popularity. True fans will hate the album, and groupies will like it.
A groupie and true fan are riding in a care, when the single "Do you know your enemy" starts playing on the radio, the first single from 21st century breakdown...

Groupie: Do you know the enemy? Do you know the enemy? Do you know the enemy? OOOhhhhhhooooo....

True GD Fan: SHIT! This is garbage! what the FUCK? Where are the verses about Conformity, Society's Overcaution, Depression, War Volunteers, Insanity, Breakups, Life in general, Assholes you want dead, and Individualistic Ideals?
God. I'm gonna stop listening to Green Day now... I'm pissed that they suck now

Groupie: They're new stuff is awesome. They're old stuff sucks. Go listen to their old stuff if you like that better. You shouldn't care what the band sounds like if you're a fan

True GD Fan: Bullshit! You're a fucking groupie! Not like you're gonna care in 2 weeks!

Groupie: You're wrong. Billie Joe is cute.

True GD Fan: So, you still like that shitty GD album?

Groupie: No, I listen to Fall Out Boy now. GD sucks!

True GD Fan: Dumb skank... Ah well... maybe their next album will be good...
