【聊了什么 The What】
上一期聊中国工厂背后的全球化逆流打开了几位主播的话匣子,身处在动荡、多变的当下,我们越来越多看到同龄的新新人类开始陷入怀旧的情绪:从小时候观看奥运会和世博会的懵懂的激动,到互联网如何打开我们探索世界的大门,那个时代好像有一种开放、灿烂、向全世界问好的基调。朴树在千禧年写下“穿新衣吧,剪新发型呀。轻松一下,Windows 98”,却在2017年把这首歌改写成“时光不再,已不是我们的世界。它早已物是人非,让人崩溃意冷心灰”,去看看这两首歌的评论区,你就会看到大家都能感受到同样的集体情绪。 所以这期播客里,主播们一起检视了这种情绪转变,当我们在怀念古早互联网和全球化潮流的时候怀念的到底是什么?我们发现,作为和互联网共同长大的第一代人,科技带领我们见了世面、走到海外,我们却越来越想要回归 low-tech 的设备和不智能的软件。安蕤给我们科普了什么是“中式梦核”,这些蓝玻璃旧商场的意象,带着一层阴暗诡异的滤镜,代表着我们对过去又怀念又遗憾的情绪。不过即使在陷入算法网络的今天,互联网还是给我们了一些希望:全球化的未来,可能就藏在东华金龙的 TikTok 视频评论区里。 In the last episode, the discussion about the backlash against globalization around Chinese factories really kept us thinking. Living in a time of turbulence and change, we increasingly see our peers evoking a sense of nostalga: from the excitement of watching the Olympics and World Expo as kids, to the way the internet opened the door for us to explore the world, there seemed to be a tone of openness and optimism in that era. Back in the millennium, Pu Shu wrote, “Put on new clothes, get a new haircut. Let’s have some fun, Windows 98,” but by 2017, he rewrote the song as “Time is gone, this is no longer our world. Everything has changed, leaving us devastated and disheartened.” Take a look at the comment sections of both songs, and you’ll see that everyone feels this collective emotion. So in this episode, the hosts examined this emotional shift. When we look back fondly on the early internet and the wave of globalization, what exactly are we nostalgic for? We found that, as the first generation to grow up alongside the internet, technology showed us the world and took us overseas—yet we’re increasingly turning to low-tech devices and non-AI software. Anrui explained to us what “Chinese Dreamcore” is: these images of blue buildings and deserted malls through an eerie filter reflect a sense of yearning and regret for the past. But even in today’s algorithm-driven internet, there’s still some hope: the future of globalization might just be hiding in the comment sections of Donghua Jinlong’s TikTok videos.
