Features: "Absurd" is originally a colloquial term from Foshan, Guangdong, describing someone who appears ridiculous and talks nonsense, yet actually has their own logic. With the emergence of the "absurd" persona, unfettered pretense, and laughable exaggeration in the films of Stephen Chow, the language of absurdity almost swept through the younger generation in China. Today, absurdity has become a form of internet slang among young people in our country. It not only contains the humorous exaggeration of Stephen Chow's A Chinese Odyssey, but also incorporates elements of satire, humor, irony, self-deprecation, and helplessness. From grand national issues to trivial daily matters, everything is approached with a sense of humor. It reflects the young generation's skepticism and denial of everything, the deconstruction of authority and conventions, as well as their helplessness and self-mockery toward the realities of life. Behind the words may lie profound meanings that we still cannot fully understand.
Every era has its own "angry youth," and the current young generation is the new angry youth online. They lack the impoverished background and suppressed ideals of the older angry youth from the 1980s. Instead, they live in and are resigned to the new social landscape: the ever-changing cities, unstable jobs, oppressive offices, paper marriages, and the ups and downs of relationships. These new issues have shaped the unique image and language of the new angry youth.
