Cracked Screens Are Overanalyzed By Old People

This is truly the worst. I hate it.
I don't feel cool at all.

So I've recently stumbled upon a few articles written by the lovely Baby Boomers likening the ownership of a cracked phone screen to a status symbol, often being referred to as an tool to increase "street cred."

A few things about that theory from "the kids these days."

No. What? Why in hell would we ever WANT a screen that threatens the skin of our thumbs with each use, the reality of a glass splinter with every text? Not to mention it looks like shit and causes the "oh, yikes, what happened there..." conversation from every friend, acquaintance and passerby.*

Another thought for the omniscient narrators of our generation: priorities! We're poor AF. Very poor. We're frequently deciding between a burrito and a new phone, and for that reason, dropping upwards of $100 on a new screen just to break it again in a week? No bueno.

In short, dear overly analytic elder folk:
