It means the parts of society that were previously hiding are now visible and interacting with you. This can be jarring.
The societal unity we remember never existed. People who are different were just hiding or invisible.
To avoid stereotypical-for-usa examples (gays, immigrants, blacks), go ask a teenage goth growing up in a small town in the 90’s what it was like to be the only goth person in their entire environment. Bet it was super fun and they felt totally accepted by all.
Now go back 30 more years and someone in a similar position wouldn’t even have had access to information that would tell them it was possible to be anything other than $vanilla. They felt different and had no way of knowing that’s okay.
The Jackass Forever documentary, of all places, shared a really good insight when they said ”You can’t even comprehend what a big deal MTV was in the 80’s.”.
I subscribe (and immediately cancel) to everything.
If I want to watch a show/movie (like Jackass Forever on Paramount+) I'll subscribe and then immediately cancel it. This gives me 1 month of the service. If I want to keep watching something on that service, I'll just resubscribe once it runs out.
Some services like Netflix and Hulu, I know I'll get enough value out of them so I don't usually bother canceling.
I hear friends complain about having to sign up for so many things to watch all the shows they want, but Apple makes this so easy I don't really think much about it. Back in the pre-streaming days most everyone wanted a-la-carte channels and that's exactly what we have now.
