This confuses me, too. It seems to be mostly an Internet thing (YouTube and Reddit come to mind, specifically), but I don't typically hang out with teenagers and early 20-somethings, so maybe it's worse than I think.

Yeah, I'm kind of in the middle. My personal friends tend to skew older, but I keep in touch with the younger set being the oldest of 9 kids.

I actually think people who live like that are probably among the happiest on the planet.

that being said, I couldn't see myself living like that. If anything, if someone like me were to even give it a shot, I would feel too much like I'm running from my problems.

I've heard the same, and come to the same conclusion. I couldn't be happy in an environment like that. I truly enjoy being connected to so many people in so many ways, and having the means to travel far and wide by modern means.
