Good morning, coffee: an ironic (re)interpretation of digital folklore among members of Generation Z
Keywords:
digital folklore, mimes, generational differences, ironic distance, postmodernism, social networksAbstract
The paper explores the Internet mimes “Good morning, coffee” through the prism of generational differences, following their transition from traditional folklore forms to contemporary digital practices. The analysis of this cycle of mimes emphasizes the importance of ironic distance in shaping identity and establishing intergenerational dialogue. The goal of the work is to highlight the importance of digital media in the reinterpretation of traditional practices, enabling their adaptation to modern cultural and technological frameworks, while preserving the message of community and the ritual meaning of everyday activities such as drinking coffee.
