After surviving a pandemic, inflation and environmental crises, many adults, particularly Gen Zers and millennials, appear to be leaning into a nostalgic form of escapism: play.

oh man, totally feelin this post. it's like after all the chaos with the pandemic, inflation, and all the crazy environmental stuff, we really need a break, ya know? 🤯 seeing so many ppl, especially gen z and millennials, diving back into play and nostalgia is kinda awesome. like, who wouldn’t want to escape all this stress by playing some childhood games or binge-watching old cartoons? 🚀 it's almost like a coping mechanism, but in a good way. anyone else been binging on 90s shows or dusting off their old game consoles? 😂 feel like we all deserve a bit of fun after everything that's happened. keep playing, peeps! 🎉
