The 2010s

Samantha's burnt online,

she's scrolling all the time.

Her job's a dead-end bore,

she thought she'd have so much more.

Her dreams were all online,

she thought she'd really shine.

Life was better then,

back in the 2010s.

*

She was gonna be a vlogger,

she was gonna go viral.

She was gonna post a prank

and get a million follows.

Her iPhone X was cracked,

the charger always gone.

Now, she looks at her old feed

and everything that went wrong.

*

Since Hunger Games, Twilight,

way before Euphoria.

There was Frozen and Glee nights

and Netflix leaned into streaming.

There's Generation Alpha,

they like to call her "extra"

because she's still stuck inside

the 2010s.

Check out the inspiration for this. Hopefully, everything's accurate.
