Users of “Crazy Literature” are mainly from the Generation Z group. A convenience sample of five respondents aged 18 to 26 who had come into contact with or used “Crazy Literature” was selected for the programme, including two students and three working employees.
- “Normal language doesn’t express what I’m feeling anymore, and this kind of gibberish is a better way to express the extent of my breakdown.
- “Because we all have these problems, we can understand what the other person is saying.”
- “Because we all have these troubles, we can understand what the other person is saying.”
- “Some of it was sent to me by a friend, and some of it was copied from the bottom of a social media comment.”
- “There are times when you’re really not too happy with the other person’s behaviour, but if you say it outright for fear of hurting the other person, using the ‘going crazy’ style would seem more euphemistic.”
- “Some of the ‘crazy literature’ texts and emojis are so funny and new that I would send them to each other with my friends.”
They are all users of madness literature. They express negative emotions in the real world such as academic anxiety, employment anxiety, appearance anxiety, etc. These negative emotions are often difficult to be expressed in the real world, so going crazy is a kind of venting for them, and they go crazy by complaining about early morning classes and working overtime, which reflects the common stress of most of the Generation Z, and the Generation Z can also understand the emotions behind the expression.
I think this is a kind of identity, although the communication will not know their age and identity, but see crazy literature can be presumed that the other person is probably under the general pressure and anxiety of the generation z young people.
Crazy culture is also a kind of rebellion of young people against the elite and mainstream culture, and their crazy content combines the mainstream culture to spoof and reorganise, to reflect their rebellion against the social order.
