Sam Levinson's and HBO Max’s series Euphoria digs beneath Gen Z’s nihilistic drug-crazed orgiastic partygoing, its character backstories exposing America’s suburbia as a kingdom of the blind where parents struggle to survive economically, psychologically, and physically, carrying PTSD of their own, often somehow absent, proving incapable of guiding teens through the technological labyrinth and social-emotional minefield of twenty-first century late-stage capitalist America. The theoretical framework of analysis employs Walter Benjamin’s early twentieth century observations of modernity’s alienation resulting in an inability to communicate or counsel and Deleuze and Guattari’s mid-twentieth century theories of the damaging effects of capitalism on mental health.
