I'm a millennial, grew up in the 90s, so I kind of always have been exposed to this kind of thing. But I have no interest in TV whatsoever. Haven't really watched it since I moved out of my boomer parents house years ago. Every once in a while I'll catch a glimpse of it and it really is horrifying. It's even more horrifying when you realize that most people are completely tuned into it and, as you put it, they think it's normal. It's really like an episode of the Twilight Zone or something. When you realize that those dystopian future horror stories are actually real, and you're living in one. And no one can see it but you. And they think you're crazy.
Now reach the next step where you realize all of the gaming addicts you associate with being "above normie simp shit" are just NPCs that realized it's a lot more fun to ignore the festering problem than participate in it or fight against it. Cord cutters are not superior to the boomers who still suck down the narrative pipe. They're just the next generation hooked on their own Current Thing.
I know a few adult males (air quotes) who think they're "based", but who play Microsoft video games on a Microsoft XBox 8+ hours a day. Ready Player One, except super gay and shitty.

Underrated comment.

This represents the only path...inception towards death.
This represents the resistance within...living.
The few suggest the many to follow orders instead of being the perceiving resistance within the perceivable natural order.
