Like it's a permanent state of existence that we are all helplessly suffering through

Examples: in between songs, the radio DJ mentions that we all need to find time away from the stress

Yesterday, the newscaster talked about experiencing life outside of social media.

So many allusions to "what's going on" with out details.

Like a shared trauma that we can't mention
