The ongoing increase of escapism in society & culture
Escapism refers to the distractions and relief mechanisms we use to run away from unpleasant experiences. Whether it’s drugs, make-up, our phones or even nostalgia. Everything has been hijacked in order to escape from the dull, meaningless and artificial lives we live today.
The increasing reliance on social media, gaming & music are results of worsening mental conditions and a common lack of purpose and identity. Doomscrolling and endless dopamine tactics allow us to ‘escape’ from reality and numb our minds of the meaningless lives we live today. The increase of streaming services have given us easy access to millions of songs. The same songs we abuse to forget the dull reality of ours lives. Listening to these artists rap about thier lifestyle and thier stories, rather than living ourselves & forming our own.
