Honestly man, you should probably seek some counselling. I'm gonna make a few assumptions here which could be totally off base but I feel like I have friends who have a similar outlook - young, mostly male, high rates of depression/anxiety and grew up in internet culture.

Basically everything they say is insincere and wrapped in layers of 'le meme'. The more I hang out with them the more obvious it is that it's a maladaptive protection mechanism. Emotional vulnerability is difficult!

 I would assume that what you're feeling is probably plain ol' depression wrapped in layers of ironic detachment.

I thought it was mostly because I used the internet too much, and did too much satire and ‘meming’, but actually, maybe that was more of maladapted response than the root cause. Thanks for the answer this was also insightful
