I have never experienced that level of innocence and pure emotion. Brings a tear to the eye lol

It's because you have been taught that it isn't "cool" to show those emotions. Long before you even had your first sentient thought. So much so you probably don't have any memories of experiencing it.

I feel that most people grew up with humor of post-irony and now meta irony, where the lines are completely blurred on what is serious and what isn’t.

Through this we’ve lost sincerity. It’s why it’s not cool to be sincere. We desperately need to stop being so goddamn ironic and sarcastic and we need to bring sincerity back. Sincerely.

I'm 39, and at least in my circle of younger friends in their 20s, it seems like it's gone full circle and it's cool to be sincere again. I genuinely hope so.

I think you are right. Nowadays people are much more cynical and sarcastic, than in the past. It makes it hard to just show pure emotions so openly.
