America says "never forget" — but a growing share of Americans don't remember. Why it matters: More Americans are coming of age with no firsthand memory of 9/11 , creating emotional distance from the trauma and more room for dark humor and reinterpretation. The big picture: For Americans under 27, 9/11 arrived through textbooks, movies, social media and family stories rather than lived experience. - That distance can make humor easier, amplified by algorithms that reward provocative content and a generational instinct to push back against mandatory reverence.
