I thought genies were bitter because they're trapped in a lamp and forced to grant wishes?

Sometimes. But most modern genie lore is mixed in with the monkey paw lore. Does that make sense?

I think we are all just too cynical in our modern times to believe in granted wishes without any downsides.

What is some modern genie lore like that?
