I also kind of think it doesn’t help that every joke or meme — seemingly — we get now has the punchline as being like “…I guess I’ll die.” There always seems like there’s a negative bend to the joke, and even if we understand that it’s a joke (“Missed the bus; guess I’ll die”), seeing that over and over again all over the place can start to taint your perception some.
I’d agree with this.

Or at least it can for me.
