There's an expectation, especially for those growing up pre information age, that the world is going to get better, and that life is going to get easier. Instead you have issues you learned of as a kid running rampant, and keep learning as an adult that it's only getting worse.
Even if you're trying to live nihilistically and/or hedonistically, it's getting harder to do so since products and services are becoming of worse quality and are demanding more and more of your time to maintain them to some semblance of functionality.
You're taught as a child that everyone can make a difference, but on the scale of awareness we possess now, it's clear that we're just pissing in an ocean of piss that we swim in, while the people who do have ships to sail above it along with the resources to clean it up, are just shitting in it.
I'd try to go with the flow, but there is no flow around me. No community to rub shoulders with, no camaraderie that helps me look forward to the next day or at least give the lost a direction. It's especially poignant to someone whose environment he grew up in is different from the environment he currently lives in, whether the environment changed, or whether he moved away from it, all exacerbated by the modern sensibility of cutting yourself away from your past to seek fortune.
