Lebanese Youth Indicator (LYI)

LYI is the Lebanese Youth Indicator. It aims at measuring how healthy the socio-economic situation in Lebanon is based on the access of the competent and independent Lebanese youth to decision making roles. It also considers other factors revolving around the role of the Lebanese youth in reviving the struggling Lebanese economy, reversing the corrupt political scene, and the aching society. The indicator looks into both the resident Lebanese youth and the Diaspora across the world.

The indicator was formulated by Jihad El Hokayem as part of his endeavor Rethinking Lebanon on the back of the crisis in Lebanon that surged in Q1 2020.

What is Indiecore? Indiecore is a style based on 'scene' and 'indie' fused as one. They necessarily donโ€™t have the stereotypical 'scene hair' but some of their style is based off of scene. Most Indiecore kids having piercing, Ex: Snakebites; but they do not conform to the regular trends that 'scene' kids find as โ€˜cool.โ€™ They do however, have a similar fashion style as them but mixing it with indie. Typical Indiecore kids listen mostly to metal and indie. They would be consider as individualist, but have characteristics of being smart and shallow.

Tone Indicators

A very useful thing. Some people might find it cringe, but tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should really be used more often by people who naturally text in a cold and dry manner.
Scenario ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??
Person 2: what
Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you๐Ÿ˜…

Scenario ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok /gen
Person 1:๐Ÿ‘

See how much less problematic the 2nd scenario was?
