I think it's caught on as a catch-all because the alternatives for the amount of mindless nothingness our brains have been trained to zone out to after work are less flattering. I've certainly found myself less a couple hrs of my night because it was so easy to just keep scrolling YouTube shorts...
if someone came up to me IRL and told me they were a political junkie i would demand to see their time machine (but first i would tell them crossfire gets cancelled, just for kicks)
at best the latter is an indicator that someone is in complete denial about being an artist or a creative of any type--easily the saddest recurrent case of impostor syndrome ive seen in the social media age
