Peak millennial energy: drugs or yoga, no in-between spiritual bankruptcy
A split-panel satirical meme commentary on the extremes of modern wellness culture and escapism. The left panel depicts a drug-addled character surrounded by pill bottles with depressed eyes and text about using drugs as a coping mechanism. The right panel shows an acrobatic figure performing wellness activities with spiritual/wellness rhetoric, balanced precariously above a garbage truck. Both panels mock the performative nature of wellness culture and the extremes people go to avoid reality.
