Pessimistic language is a growing feature of popular culture, as Amanda Montell argues in Esquire. She calls it “doomslang,” a category that includes terms like “doomscrolling,” “bed rotting,” and “dumpster fire.” Montell argues the casual adoption of apocalyptically negative language is affecting mental health. One symptom of that mental health decline is the phenomenon of climate anxiety beginning to define younger generations.

I wonder if you have ever considered that the solution to discontentment almost always seems to be more. If I only had more money I would be content. If I only had more followers, more possessions, more beauty, then at last I would consider myself successful. If only my house was bigger, my influence wider, my sales higher. Then, at last, I would achieve the contentment that has been so elusive.
