Gen Z is using the humor of memes to cope with the idea of a 'World War III'.
"Dark humor — it’s not a form of avoidance but it's a way people are trying to make sense of the uncertainty," she said."It's like processing the event in a way that makes sense to them by trying not to get more anxious about the event."
But for those who have a closer tie to an incident or to the epicenter of an event, dark humor does not work in the same way as someone who is further removed, according to Berry.The jokes about the situation between the U.S. and Iran have landed a little harder on Roz A., 17, an Iranian American from California.
Roz, who asked that her full last name not be used in order to protect her identity, made a TikTok about seeing her cousins in Iran on the battlefield if she were to be drafted — a joke she said she's told in some variation for years.But it has been a wealth of what Roz calls"uneducated jokes" about the situation in Iran that has left her feeling raw about the amount of memes that have been made about the country.
