The hypocrisy and obliviousness is what aggravates me: "You need to budget better!" "Why aren't you buying more stuff?" "You need to work harder!" "Take a vacation, we can't afford to keep paying you!" "If you cared about your job you'd never take a vacation!" "Get an education, don't flip burgers or work in retail." "Well, if you can't pay off your college debts then go flip burgers or work in retail!" "What a waste of talent if you're not using your degree!" "Why did you get that degree if you're just going to keep flipping burgers and working in retail?" "You're alcoholics, you drink too much!" "Why aren't you buying more beer or wine? You're killing the alcohol business!" "You need to have kids before you're 'too old'!" "Well, if you couldn't afford your kids you should've waited, you're never 'too old'!"
This is so good. We're getting such contradictory messages. I'm just gonna do what I want. As the wise Phillip J Fry once said, "I'll be whatever I wanna do!"
I am just south of 70. I run a gas station. Once a week I hear a man hollering at the pump: "I HATE TECHNOLOGY!" I go out before he gets wild. Show him how to work the pump and by the time I leave, he's in a better mood. LOL
@@bigbabado8296 I feel like my grandma had it down, she was always of the mind set that it doesn’t matter when you were born, the way you were raised is the way you will always want things to be because that’s what your comfortable with. Not that change is bad but it’s hard to get out of routines and that causes the most problems.
My dad is a late boomer, born in 1961, and this topic came up in conversation. He said that the adults then, the Greatest Generation, were always angry about things and always troubled by whatever they could think of. Like they were seeking out any excuse to be outraged. He compared the adults of the time to Red Forman in That 70s Show.
Honestly, I'm really thankful that some members of the Greatest Generation made a big fuss about environmental issues/climate change, racist social norms, worker's rights, etc. Those things are worth getting angry about, even if the Boomers disagree.
Born in 63. People tend to forget that the "Me" generation are the ones in charge right now. And we screwed a lot of stuff up. Probably why my generation gets so angry about trying to fix some things.
They didn't have the easiest time, so it makes sense Get a massive depression, dust bowl, and ww2 nazis captured France, serve, fight D-day blood bathe, win Live your life FINALLY in peace Past still comes to bite you and search for any thing to get angry at
@@sharoncox1734 Climate change is a huge hoax designed to do nothing more than take your money. Man has NEVER been able to affect the earth even to the degree Krakatoa did. Besides....they told us in the 70s we'd be in an ice age by now. In the nineties they quick changed their tune and said we're going to melt. Nature ALWAYS wins. And what is happening is actually right in line with the natural occurance of the magnetic pole flip. It's not an overnight process and the earth has been through it before. Many times.
I'm starting to feel old because I hate online college schooling, yes, I like I save in gas and time for not getting prepared but I hate the "24/7 availability" mentality, and the insane amount of homework without enjoying the infrastructure I'm paying for.
I don't think that makes you old, a lot of university schooling that wasn't structured for it Pre-COVID basically screwed students out of a lot of faculties they still have to pay for. There's also the issue of universities not updating curriculum or listening to students when something seems out of date. Homework, that unfortunately just convinces children early that even outside of work, they need to work.
@@DreemurrTheStreamurr homework is like doing your job after you clock out and aren't being paid. Keep your school work in school and off people's already full plate. People have responsibilities, chores and even jobs after school they can't balance all that with homework from multiple teacher with their social life and sleep unless you want to mentally exhaust them and stress them out, in which case they will not enjoy school or learn as well. Some other countries figured this out, which is why the #1 country in education has shorter school days and no homework, people like school as well. But America doesn't like learning from other countries successes, instead politicans protest for things that haven't worked / already failed in other countries. We have genuine idiots running for public offices, we need more unbiased data driven people who will just do what works.
Nah that's definitely not getting old, online classes suck. The amount of reading, even for the easiest of classes, is just ridiculous when professors don't do video lectures....which is how every single of my online classes turned out. And this was before covid, so I can't imagine how it is for the people who are taking nothing but online classes for an entire year or more.
@@ghuttsmckenzie4269 I'm 25 and still show flashes of edge behaviour, which I'll be immediately embarassed about in the shower. The edge never truly leave you.
My dad was playfully and rebellious as a teen (and runied his education as a result) Yeah he hates teenage him so he takes it out on me in abusive and toxic ways
And now studies show that kids can’t communicate outside of phones I’ve seen kids that didn’t even know how to play all they could do was look at a screen toys left to collect dust didn’t interact with peers I’m 25 but they were right I don’t think boomers are worthless I don’t think anyone is worthless but I definitely think we are letting technology kill us I don’t know if all kids will even be able to create and raise young because of screen addiction the birth rate is already doing down I used to think kids should have screens but as I see the effect I’m starting to think I should raise my kid like it’s the 1990s.
@@InResponseOutreach Birth rate isn't going down because of screen addiction, it's a mix of factors. Most people don't have the money to have children in their early 20's as previous generations did, people are spending more time at work, and there is a lot less stigma of people who live alone and choose not to have children. Don't fall into the same trap everyone else before us did.
Video games are actually WAY better than watching TV, because at least for the ones I play, it’s really a brain exercise, you always have to be on top of everything.
Oh man, the comment about being a millennial and having crap just pile up hits home. I'm 37 and this. Every single time I get asked what I want for my birthday I am like "Send me something consumable or if you really want to, money. I don't need more things to add to my tiny apartment."
Born in 1983 too huh? The things I used to hate getting for Christmas, like socks, I would absolutely love now. Never realized how quickly I go through socks over the years.
My grandfather (1942) always complains about how easy we have it because we just drive everywhere. when he was young he walked or cycled everywhere. And every generation after his is some idiots because they have ruined the good old crafts (blacksmith, maid, carpenter, etc.). He is a blacksmith and wants the good old days where The blacksmith was a highly respected proffesion and well paid. He can not stand at all that office people can make more money than craftsmen.
Mainly because his profession is very niche nowadays. back then you wanted something made you needed a craftsmen for it, because there was nowhere else you could get it. What people don't understand is that as society advances many older types of jobs (blacksmith, maid, carpenter, etc. Can be done way quicker and more efficiently then before which is why people can't stay at the same job for 20+ years and afford everything, like the older generation could. Companies don't care about their workers they care about the bottom line, it's just now they have other alternatives to making money that doesn't require a steady workforce.
I'm young and I've always found blacksmithing interesting. I'm more into other things but I often research blacksmithing just for the heck of it. (It's cool, what can I say?)
And that's where the ignorance is, but it isn't their fault. Manual labor doesn't mean harder work. Office workers don't get to have a 9-5, they have to take it home and be prepared to get after hour calls. There is so much more work "behind the scenes" in the office profession.
As someone who received participation stickers when I was younger- sports day specifically (there would be ones for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and then the others would say "good try" "well done" etc.) and they were honestly patronising. I was 6 and would rather have gotten nothing.
@@rac1equalsbestgame853 pretty much. Here is a reminder of that competition that you lost! Now display this and have people asking about it and make you feel even worse
I honestly hated the participation trophies and prizes. It just made me realize that everything that parents/adults claimed was bullshit. I was right most of the time.
My soccer team as a kid at least tried to make us feel like we did something with personalized trophies for specific skills (best goalie, most improved, etc) but they really didn’t mean anything other than “Cool, you completed a season!”
Do you know how betrayed it felt like when you work your butt off for that trophy to bring home so that your parents can finally see you as a human, only for the school to also give trophies to the worst kids for "Trying their best". These are the kids that don't go to school except for events and food. These are the kids that never study and gets all Fs in their report cards and they're not even mentally handicapped, they're just lazy.
Participation trophies always felt stupid for me as a kid. If everyone wins, nobody is really winning. Why make a competition? Just make a presentation or something.
Heres one that legit happened to me. Me (millennial): applies for $14 hr factory job Interviewer: disregards my resume, asks me a bunch of non-related questions like my facebook page, hobbies, and favorite restaurant (i honestly thought this old dude was wanting to ask me out) Interviewer: “I’m afraid we can’t hire you. Your generation has a history of no work ethic and a problem with authority. I can however, save your contact information and get back to you on any future openings.” End of interview. This was for an entry level packaging job. I always wondered why boomers complain about no work ethic when they control the job market and refuse to hire us millennials. And then blame us for not having a decent job.
I applied to a simple dish washing job, the guy interviewing only wanted to talk about my Scuba diving and could care less if I already had previous experience dish washing.
@@ChemySh Yeah, now that I think about it, this was around the same time Zip recruiter was taking hold, so he was probably either trying to justify his employment, or, hiring people that would make life interesting as there seemed to be a mix of right and left wing thinking people, trades and collage people. Either way, I feel that I need 'both' a trade and a collage degree where I live just to get a leg up.
2 million years ago, conversation between two cavemen: *grunt*...kids today be so spoiled, they have fire, the wheel, fur pelts, spears and walking upright...me never understand this generation...😎
it would have been interesting to hear anything regarding the lost, greatest or silent, though i suppose we did get a little about that last one from some of the boomers, but not much edit: im fully aware that the chances of getting first hand stories about the lost generation are near zero but second hand would still offer some insight
The thing is how many of the Boomer generation are represented here online? A lot of the older members of the Baby Boomer gen are tech averse, obviously not all because computers were created during their generation, (but became household items from GenX onward), their gen isn't going to see the same amount of representation online... I'm a 50 yr old GenX who has had a home computer in the home since I was a teenager. Don't know if I am an exception though, as my career path was computer graphics, 2d/3d animation... definitely not tech averse.
@@lazarushernandez5827 there is also the shrinking population factor, it would be interesting to see an actual study on it but the shrinking population of the oldest generations is going to affect the spread of their skillsets and possibly their behavior
@@lazarushernandez5827 Hello fellow Gen Z. Smallest generation so far. Did you catch the person saying we were supposed to have kids? We were, as a whole, considered the "baby bust" generation and since we were the smallest that lines up. But the 80s were so awesome!
Gen Z here. (2000). Millennials and anyone born in the nineties like to tell we have no idea what life was like for them as kid because they played outside and watched the good cartoons without realizing we also played outside a ton and literally every bit of media they had was recorded and we all watched it too
We have an older gen Z, 2 later gen Z, and 1 alpha. We like pulling up random stuff from our childhoods on youtube to show them. Usually when we are talking about growing up in the 90's, we're trying to illustrate that the world has changed more & more rapidly than they realize.
In the words of Grandpa Simpson: I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. and It’ll happen to you!
Douglas Adams's come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Same thing about the video games. My parents are boomers and they always say that I shouldn’t spend so much time playing video games... while they just sit and watch tv for 8 hours a day. Doesn’t make any sense
The newest generation is kind of wierd in my opinion. But that's only because I'm completely confused by their slang, preferences, and cultural norms but honestly I do quite enjoy looking at how this new generation is growing up!
As a Young Millennial, many of these hurt to the core. Graduation ceremonies that aren't high school or college is a big one. You don't need to take away that special feeling of hard work you put in to get out of high school. Or the extremely hard work of college where you have to balance classes, jobs, social life, and extra clubs.
One the same token, you don't need graduation ceremonies for kids going from middle school to high school. That just deepens the whole "participation trophy" tripe we hear about the Millennials. Don't celebrate every little thing like breathing or urinating.
What I really think is important to mention here is that, while we judge our parents, grandparents and so on, for being foolish or misguided, the coming generations will say the same for us. Don't get too comfortable, thinking that our generations (X-Z) have no problems. I'm starting to see how sex-mad current society is. We are getting a little too liberal and disregarding traditional values all together. I imagine they'll be a pendulum swing for the next few generations.
I suppose a pendulum swing a bit like how that post described music, getting more and more outlandish before eventually reeling it in and playing it safe
Us in 2090 : All these kids with their full-dive vr and teleportation it's making them lazy why can't they enjoy the games we played and travel like we did
I was born in 1996 and I agree, I've noticed my humor is much more Millenial like and overall I relate to Millenials better but I was a baby or didn't exist when Millenials were watching various tv shows or playing N64 and PS1 and thus I didn't grow up with those, that said I kinda found myself a little too old for many shows Gen Z grew up on (Wizards of Waverly Place for example) when they really got going. I only can't stand apps like TikTok which Gen Z is obsessed with. As far as politics, Gen Z seems to be about the same as Millenials so far though so I've haven't noticed any differences there yet.
@@mattwolf7698 1995 here, and my experience lines up with yours pretty much the same. I think people in our tiny age range, too young to play N64, too old for Tiktok, are a very lonely group.
I have found my people! Hello fellow Millennial-Gen Z's! To be honest though, I'm glad that social media was only a thing by the time I was in my mid/late teens. When I was around middle school age, we were still emailing and instant messaging each other and absolutely no one had a cell phone. It's not that I think anything beyond that is wrong, but it was just a lot less pressure socially, you know? I can't imagine being that age and having to deal with Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok all at once >.< And yes, I completely feel everyone on being in that "in-between" when it comes to games, TV shows, and movies. Personally, my style tends to fall more towards early/mid 2000s, even though I was just a kid then. Wish I had grown up with more 90s games, though.
Ha, as an '80's kid I definitely know that boomers and pre-boomers thought videogames were just for kids and would go away, computers were useless and little bank cards were at times either a menace letting thieves get your money or the best thing since sliced bread since you didn't need a trip to the bank and hoping your records were right about what money you could withdraw. Hmmm.... Gran did try liking videogames, but it was alien tech to her. Mom liked Antarctic Adventure, but once called me to say the pc was broken, the on-button didn't work. She'd actually been pressing the monitor screen. Not the button on the monitor (also the size of a pouf), but the actual screen. Gran thought the best gift for a middle-school kid was a leather over the shoulder book case that was about the size of a rottweiler and twice as heavy (instead of a backpack). As for actual things older gens hated about my generation: our desire to stay indoors and play videogames (ftr, not very safe place to play outdoors), the music (stereotypical), the disappearance of bankchecks (accept-giros) we were 'magically' responsible for, our unwillingness to join the army, our obsession with technology and above all else: our inability to appreciate their vote-only-our-party-convictions. I won't deny that there were plenty of partygoers (not me with autism) who might've been rightly called out on nonsense (coma-drinking and arriving baked to class), but we've been working to make the world a better place... And hoping we don't end up like the most bizarre boomers. I reckon most older folks complain when they notice something new that they haven't been bothering with... So I do try to be and remain open to new things as I'm nearing 40. OOOOOFFFF! Also, I recently had to help an older lady, whom at 91(!) still knew enough about computers to mostly keep up with things like e-mail, youtube, taxes, etc. etc.. So my advice to everyone, young or old, is to accept that unless you're fitted with a toe-tag at the morgue, you should try to keep up with the modern world. She can, I can, so can you.
My dad is a later boomer (so came of age in the early 70s) is amazed at how connected we are compared to him, but he sees how that connection can both help my gen and hurt my gen. He said on this matter: “You’d never hear about protests for a better cause, because if you did it was about how bad and out of control you were. Now you see two sides of the story. However you are so connected that your gen can’t seem to escape the negativity, the idea that everything is wrong in our country. You can’t escape it as easy as I could, I could turn off the TV and forget that they were calling people my age “sex and drug addicted lunatics”, now you have to turn off the wifi just to get away.” I’m a Gen Z and liberal “as all hell” according to him, (he’s conservative), but he says compared to his level of connectivity, he thinks my gen are living in a as equal or more turbulent time as his time.
TBH I’m 14 and I agree (to a degree) that technology is bad for us. We don’t need super advanced AIs and Social Media is making it incredibly easy to ruin someone’s life over a mistake they made like 7 years ago.
Efficiency is the name of the game doesn’t matter who feels how.....if super advanced AIs open paths such as the internet then people will work on it...Also social media has improved our lives more than ruined...Imagine if this pandemic happened in the 60s everybody would be lonely.
I was born during Eisenhower's second term. my Mother is still alive at 91 I STILL hear a bout it and hear about it and hear about it to the point that I now avoid her. The one thing that IS true is how much faster things happen now! In the 1970s if you ordered anything even by phone, you had to wait anywhere from 3 days to two weeks to get it. You had to memorize or write down the phone numbers of people you called frequently. Many people who had teen age kids got two landlines in their house so that the parents could make calls
Yep. I remember always carrying spare change in case I needed to make a phone call; you can't even find a public phone booth today. Two landlines was also good for computers in the late 80s-90s. Nowadays you don't even need a landline at home.
As a late Gen Xer, I regret having listened to all the BS about being able to support a family working in a trade, and especially the "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life". No. Now what would have made a great hobby has worn me into the ground, trashed my knees and back, and I still need to run as much as possible to support a family. I could have done mechanical engineering, computer science, chemistry, just about anything else I was actually good at, but I'm stuck with turning wrenches all day.
Also a later Gen Xer. That advice is kinds bs because if you do what you love for a living you probably won't love it anymore. Also the whole "Don't go to bed angry" is kinda bs too if you ask me. What if your spouse is abusive or just likes to argue? Are you supposed.to stay up all night talking it out and not get any rest? So you become more irritated? Just go to bed and 9 times out of 10 both of you won't be upset about it. Or at least not as upset.
My grandma (a white woman) has had 3 husbands, 2 of which were people of color (one Jamaican and the other African, but idk where in Africa; neither was my grandfather). We live in a VERY racist backwater American town that is very reluctant to let go of mid 20th century social views. Because of this very few people of color lived here until the last 20 years. When my grandma got with her first husband after my grandfather (the Jamaican, who I apparently loved enough as a toddler to feel dejected when the black man I mistook for him at the hospital wasn’t “my Georgie” lol), my great grandparents were so upset they disowned her. George was upset he caused problems with her family, but my grandma said “they won’t last a month.” But the end of the next week they had apologized to my grandma and George and wanted to get to know him. My great grandparents grew up in the late 30’s/early 40’s, so a time when whites and blacks didn’t “mix,” especially not like that. But they themselves are very family driven people and one of their sons already had moved all the way out to California with little contact even for that time. So after the initial shock and anger (I feel icky just for saying someone’s reaction towards another person’s relationship is anger) wore off and they had time to think about it, they decided they didn’t want to lose their only daughter over something so trivial and made the effort to change, which they did. My great grandma loved to throw birthday parties for family, so she did for George. My grandma got him a white shirt and left it out with a pack of Sharpies for everyone to write on it. Her 3rd daughter (my middle aunt), wrote on it in yellow Sharpie and my great grandma said something about how it would never show up. My grandma can’t keep her mouth shut to save her life (a trait I inherited, along with my biological father’s sharp wit lol). She laughed and told her mom that it didn’t matter, because both the shirt and yellow Sharpie would stand out like a beacon on his dark skin. George found it funny, but my great grandma was scandalized that her daughter would say that. So my great grandparents went from “if you choose him, we’ll disown you” to “how dare you say something like that about him!” My mom cut my grandma (and subsequently George) out of my life when I was very young and I was too little to remember more than a little bit of one night when they watched me. Still, it’s cool to listen to my grandma’s stories of what she grew up with in the late 50’s and 60’s. She went to Woodstock as an older teen and got high just standing on the outside of everyone from how much pot people were smoking. My great grandma would never have found out if my mom hadn’t opened her big mouth lol Side story that I take with a grain of salt: my grandma told me how George used to always tell her about how he grew up with Bob Marley and they were close friends as kids. She never believed him until his funeral (RIP Georgie), where she mentioned something about it to his mom. His mom laughed as said “do you know how often I had to chase those boys through Kingston with a broom?” I really wish George had lived long enough for me to really meet him. He sounds like someone I would have gotten along great with. And I would have loved to hear about growing up in another country from him.
Cool story, but interracial marriage still causes too much trouble and has many social repercussions, unless you're rich and famous like Serena Williams. It's very hard to unite 2 different cultures together, like a Hindu marrying an Amish person.
The older people are right. Our generation tends to get offended over non-offensive things. Older generations do complain too, but their complaints are legit in some cases.
@@taeyonghasmejungshook3424 Umm, some of those offensive things aren't anywhere close to offensive. SJW logic produces ignorance and political correctness produces weak-mindedness. If Pepe Le Pew and Speedy Gonzalez bother you more than Andrew Cuomo or Cardi B's Grammys performance, you have have problems.
As someone who grew up with boomer parents that could not be bothered to attend my track meets etc and were too busy watching tv to notice anything I can say yes, this made Gen X or a lot of us into helicopter parents. We wanted work/life balance and got called lazy for that. We wanted to attend our kids' school functions and not just leave them at home alone all of the time.
@@Jose04537 I am just saying WHY a lot of Gen X and older millenials are like this. Many boomers had very little time for us. It had it's benefits and it's draw backs but as we became parents we remembered what we got up to and what we had to go through. My kids are Gen Z and while I am far from a helicopter parent they have much more structure and attention from their parents than I got.
I think we are confused on what helicopter parenting is. It's when they do everything for you, always needs to know your business, won't let you get hurt or fail. Showing support by going to games, wanting to have some bonding time isn't helicopter.
Gen X here. We had heavy metal music that was supposedly Satanic. Compared to songs that are pure pornography and profanity, Highway to Hell seems pretty tame now.
I was just thinking about this the other day. (old Millennial) I was listening to some Black Sabbath on the radio and thinking. Man,...Ozzy's voice is so nice, how did people think this was the devil's music? it's like Easy Listenings category now.
@@Melissa-wx4lu Well Ozzy did play it up for the fans back then, he did bite the head off of a bat on stage. (supposedly he thought it was a fake bat a fan threw on stage but it was a real one, albeit dead). Other groups, acts would do similar, outrageous things... the more parents/authorities would complain, the more fans they would get (ie kids rebelling against their parents views).
My Grandma was born in 1947, and her dad was born in 1900. In 1963 she was watching one of the Beatles’ live TV broadcasts and her dad wouldn’t let her because “Their hair is too long, they don’t look repsectful”

My nana, who is 92, played for the Edinburgh Lady Dynamos in the first professional womens football league back in the 1940s when she was 17/18. Whenever they toured they caused a stir, kids loved it, footballers loved it, but there were a large number who thought this was just a wartime distraction and wouldn't last past the de-mob era. There were so few female players of skill that her teams youngest member was 13 and the olderst in her 40s. She's always been a rebel my nana, she used to wear trousers and work boots all the time and got accused of being a lesbian. Even now she hates dresses. Also her little brother, my great uncle, caused a stir when he tried to enlist in the RAF rather than the Navy, his dad thought it a farcical branch of the services and real men only went to sea in the Navy.

in my youth I had long hair. My mom who was a beautician at the time cut it off and gave me a perm. I cried. and I asked why? she said it was too mousy. BS It was the trend in the 80s early 90s to have a permed short hair. I looked like a dorky teen Richard Simmons. My grandmother was also furious that my mom cut my hair for the sake of trends. Now my hair is so thick and heavy It gives me headaches. It's now the original length I had it. And I can now use those pretty ornamental hairsticks.

that post abt generation x getting fricked out of jobs by boomers is so true. my dad is gen x (im millennial) and despite him having over decades of experience in nuclear power (including on submarines in the navy in the 90s), when he lost his job with BP due to mass layoffs in the area in 2016, it took him over a year to find a job at the same pay grade despite how good his resume is, full of experience and good references, and how well he interviews. and why??? it makes no sense to me. hes not a perfect man but he has spent his life dedicated to his work and doesnt deserve what he was put through over a god damn numbers game. he had to go back to nuclear power just to make ends meet and the whole reason he joined BP was to get out of nuclear power :/ i feel sorry for him
I was born in 2002 and I almost solely listen to pre-2010 music, mostly metal and rock (Rammstein, TOOL, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Living Colour...) Not because I think I was "born in the wrong generation", but because the music just sounds better.

as a gen z i feel like millennials and everything above calls us "too sensitive", "too soft" for caring about social groups were not apart of (see blm and so on). Caring about -triggers-, Actively fighting against thing we dont find right (me too movement, canceling actual toxic and harmful people...)not so much millennials but boomers and up just can't accept the fact we dont hate everything that isn't straight, married by 25 and has 3 kids by 30. They somehow can't accept that WE accept not everyone following that pattern society has established for everyone.
Yeah, but the "me too" movement has become nothing more than a weapon to ruin innocent men's lives just for making eye contact with women, and cancel culture is out of hand, cancerous, nonsensical, and also nothing more than a weapon to ruin innocent people's careers. Older generations complain a lot about stupid things, sure, but we _cannot_ deny how absolutely out of control these "social justice movements" have gotten. They're not helping anyone and are now actively harming people.
Millennials treat Gen Z like the awesome little siblings you guys are. It's definitely not us. That being said, we both have sibling fights once in a while, but we love each other.
My Greatest Generation grandfather would complain to my early Boomer father about how easy they had it and how much he had to work to make his kids’ lives easier. I don’t know if this was a generational thing or a difference in how they each grew up, but I think it applies here.
Just the fact that older people don’t understand us younger people’s struggles. It’s like, you’d think the older you get the more able you are to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see their perspective and not just your own. And also, you were my age at one point, so therefore it should be even easier for you to remember what it was like to struggle at my age... whether mentally, emotionally, or financially.
My dad is a baby boomer and my mom is a gen x, they got married in the late 80s and tried having kids all throughout the 90s only to finally be successful with me in '99 which makes me an elder gen z'er. It was an interesting upbringing to say the least lol.
There is always that stigma, GenXer here and I remember at one of my early jobs we would finish our tasks early, and were left with nothing to do for about an hour or so. Our managers/supervisors didn't like that because sitting around doing nothing looked to anyone passing by as we were just lazy. So from then on we just had to look busy even if we finished our work early...
If there's anything that I, a millenial, agree with the complaints, is the music. In fact I agree with what Dave Grohl himself said about that exact same thing, "when all your favorite music talks about is your butt, then yeah we have a goddamn problem". See for example the WAP... Also, too much reliance on "it's just a meme bruh" to justify gettimg away with anything. Like the whole thimg about filming public assaults on Twitter and YikYak (back when that was a thing) and entice the comment section into a flame war on who's right and who's wrong, "for shits and giggles". No, dude, that's wrong and reprehensible. Fuck whoever does that!
I'm a zillenial (not sure what else to call it, cause I'm right between millenial and gen z) and my parents (dad's a boomer and mom's gen x) chief complaint is that we got screwed out of the American dream. My dad once told me "well it's no wonder your generation laughs at stupid shit (memes), your generation's future is looking pretty bleak"
Although they do think it's strange I'm living with a bunch of friends along with my partner instead of us living by ourselves but I work full time and he's disabled so what else are we supposed to do
The fact we laugh is a good sign i think.. instead of being overworked all the time al tho that happens even today except we have phones to keep us entertained if allowed
Early 50s, what bothers me most is that my generation wasn't born with modern technology in our hands and the generations following get all pee-pee hurt because we are not as efficient as they are. Unfortunately, my generation (80s coming of age, born late 60s) were more worried about what we looked like than anything else. I do admire the younger gens because they dress as they please. Its refreshing.
My mother always turned off the radio when the Beatles came on especially, She Loves You. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She hated that song...lol The county that my town is in had Blue Laws. You could buy a print brush, but no paint. You could buy a baby bottle, but not the formula. The classic example of when politicians and religion get together. The Blue laws were voted out in the early 1980s.
People always want things to be easier for the next gen and better than they had it but then complain if that happens causing an unending cycle that doesn't but needs to get broken
I remember one of my teacher (judging by age I'd say a boomer) saying to us, a bunch of teenagers unsure of what to do in life that "work is the meaning of life". I was so flabbergasted by this I just stared at her in shock. Ma'am you're a teacher and not even a good one
I can relate to the Chirstmas/Birthday one, I eventually just started begging them to give me money instead vs stuff I'll never use. The few things I'd actually want like a high end gaming PC or like 82" TV would be out of everyone's price range so I just ask for money.
Yep. Gauche, the term for left in french also means clumsy, ungainly, gawky...🤦♂️ The word dexterity has roots in the Latin word for right (as in right handedness). Dexterity means skillful, adept, adroitness (another right hand rooted word; droit means right in french among other things), clever, favourable etc... generally good, positive definitions. (Dexter also puts a neat spin on the tv show of the same name, because it is about a serial killer named Dexter who targets people for the 'right' reason...). Many cultures tried to enforce right handedness ( for example the bible has passages that determine right as correct/good and left as wrong, in other cultures they used their right hand to feed themselves and their left to 'wipe' themselves and why cutting off the right hand of criminals in those cultures is a punishment). For people born naturally left handed they had to learn how to be right handed to fit in with society (in general comparison to a naturally born right handed person they seemed slow or uncoordinated, further adding weight to the slur). Sorry for the long post.... left handed person here...😂
@@lazarushernandez5827 Thanks for the detailed insight. But you forgot to mention that someone who is good at using both hands is called "ambidextrous", which literally means "having two right hands". And someone who is unable to use either hand is called "ambisinister". Source: th-cam.com/video/DU3OdTLuHf0/w-d-xo.html By the way, can you tell me which bible passages determine right as correct/good and left as wrong? I would really like to know!
@@WadelDee The meaning is pretty clear, and has nothing to do with being left or right handed, but I can see where an extrapolation was made from that passage linking anything(everything) right as good and anything left (sinister) as bad. There's also the Right hand of God (Jesus and salvation) vs the left hand of God (judgement).
How would people in their 50s and 60s think that tech makes things more complicated. We are GenX who were the first with all these tech changes as kids. We love the chages.
My grandma said that when she was young (I'm guessing early 20s) she had a miniskirt. She wore it and walked around the city and some old woman spat after her.
About how much we swear at eachother... A: where do you think it comes from. B: mannerisms change with the time and some cannot give a crap anymore due to how unstable things were when we grew up. C: They can't seem to figure out that people act diffrently when they aren't around them. Like for instance: my folks curse 10x more than me. They don't appear to be aware of it. I drop the occasional f-bomb and they go nuts and think i don't have friends because of it. No i don't have friends because a chunk of them did illeagal crap, went into the military, or moved on. I don't have a GF because i got harrassed all my life about it. Now i can't form relationships with women to boot. And i stopped trying to explain it and they still argue with me to this day.
Why would my millennial butt be criticizing gen z? I've been WAITING for you COME ON BROS We're not being persecuted for playing games We can be nerdy and LIVE Let's go friends!
I'mma bit early for this one but gen x and boomers and sometimes the oldest of millennials that got out of touch early would always complain about what kids these days would like such as online stuff such as TH-cam, Instagram, Discord, Reddit and even Twitch, They would say things like, "Why would you waste your time watching someone playing videogames, then would immediately go and watch football games on the TV" I mean seriously, so much is possible now because of things like TH-cam and the fact that so many people are able to get noticed more easily now is outstanding and it saves people from wasting paper whenever they want to send messages to people from far away and yet because its new its seen as bad, oh yeah and video games is still getting hammered by the media but those desperate news stations will do anything to keep viewers watching.
My grandmother said older people would complain how her generation (Silent generation) would listen to that awlful rock n roll and drink soda. When she tried to roll paints to school her father made her change.
I may laugh at the absurd amount of "unitaskers" (tools to do only one specific thing, ever), yet here I am, debating the Hubby about ice cream machine versus espresso machine while the fondue pot and raclette grill get taken out once a year, tops.
I was born smack in the middle of Generation X. We placed a lot less emphasis on things that were sacrosanct to baby boomers: College, The nuclear family, etc. We were taught as kids that if you didn’t check all the boxes that you are some kind of failure.
The previous generation loves buying crap that'll never be used. Work place older generation need to retire. It's very selfish holding positions when you're eligible for retirement
The hypocrisy and obliviousness is what aggravates me: "You need to budget better!" "Why aren't you buying more stuff?"
"You need to work harder!" "Take a vacation, we can't afford to keep paying you!" "If you cared about your job you'd never take a vacation!"
"Get an education, don't flip burgers or work in retail." "Well, if you can't pay off your college debts then go flip burgers or work in retail!" "What a waste of talent if you're not using your degree!" "Why did you get that degree if you're just going to keep flipping burgers and working in retail?"
"You're alcoholics, you drink too much!" "Why aren't you buying more beer or wine? You're killing the alcohol business!"
"You need to have kids before you're 'too old'!" "Well, if you couldn't afford your kids you should've waited, you're never 'too old'!"
The truth is brutal
This is so good. We're getting such contradictory messages. I'm just gonna do what I want.
As the wise Phillip J Fry once said, "I'll be whatever I wanna do!"
I sacrificed having kids so I may better support the alcohol industry.

My dad is a late boomer, born in 1961, and this topic came up in conversation. He said that the adults then, the Greatest Generation, were always angry about things and always troubled by whatever they could think of. Like they were seeking out any excuse to be outraged. He compared the adults of the time to Red Forman in That 70s Show.
That sounds exactly like how red would act.
Honestly, I'm really thankful that some members of the Greatest Generation made a big fuss about environmental issues/climate change, racist social norms, worker's rights, etc. Those things are worth getting angry about, even if the Boomers disagree.

I'm starting to feel old because I hate online college schooling, yes, I like I save in gas and time for not getting prepared but I hate the "24/7 availability" mentality, and the insane amount of homework without enjoying the infrastructure I'm paying for.
I don't think that makes you old, a lot of university schooling that wasn't structured for it Pre-COVID basically screwed students out of a lot of faculties they still have to pay for. There's also the issue of universities not updating curriculum or listening to students when something seems out of date. Homework, that unfortunately just convinces children early that even outside of work, they need to work.
@@DreemurrTheStreamurr homework is like doing your job after you clock out and aren't being paid. Keep your school work in school and off people's already full plate. People have responsibilities, chores and even jobs after school they can't balance all that with homework from multiple teacher with their social life and sleep unless you want to mentally exhaust them and stress them out, in which case they will not enjoy school or learn as well.
Some other countries figured this out, which is why the #1 country in education has shorter school days and no homework, people like school as well. But America doesn't like learning from other countries successes, instead politicans protest for things that haven't worked / already failed in other countries. We have genuine idiots running for public offices, we need more unbiased data driven people who will just do what works.
Nah that's definitely not getting old, online classes suck.

And every generation after his is some idiots because they have ruined the good old crafts (blacksmith, maid, carpenter, etc.). He is a blacksmith and wants the good old days where The blacksmith was a highly respected proffesion and well paid. He can not stand at all that office people can make more money than craftsmen.
Mainly because his profession is very niche nowadays. back then you wanted something made you needed a craftsmen for it, because there was nowhere else you could get it. What people don't understand is that as society advances many older types of jobs (blacksmith, maid, carpenter, etc. Can be done way quicker and more efficiently then before which is why people can't stay at the same job for 20+ years and afford everything, like the older generation could. Companies don't care about their workers they care about the bottom line, it's just now they have other alternatives to making money that doesn't require a steady workforce.

The thing is how many of the Boomer generation are represented here online? A lot of the older members of the Baby Boomer gen are tech averse, obviously not all because computers were created during their generation, (but became household items from GenX onward), their gen isn't going to see the same amount of representation online...

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

I was born in 1996 and I agree, I've noticed my humor is much more Millenial like and overall I relate to Millenials better but I was a baby or didn't exist when Millenials were watching various tv shows or playing N64 and PS1 and thus I didn't grow up with those, that said I kinda found myself a little too old for many shows Gen Z grew up on (Wizards of Waverly Place for example) when they really got going. I only can't stand apps like TikTok which Gen Z is obsessed with. As far as politics, Gen Z seems to be about the same as Millenials so far though so I've haven't noticed any differences there yet.
@@mattwolf7698 1995 here, and my experience lines up with yours pretty much the same. I think people in our tiny age range, too young to play N64, too old for Tiktok, are a very lonely group.
I have found my people! Hello fellow Millennial-Gen Z's!
To be honest though, I'm glad that social media was only a thing by the time I was in my mid/late teens. When I was around middle school age, we were still emailing and instant messaging each other and absolutely no one had a cell phone. It's not that I think anything beyond that is wrong, but it was just a lot less pressure socially, you know? I can't imagine being that age and having to deal with Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok all at once >.<
And yes, I completely feel everyone on being in that "in-between" when it comes to games, TV shows, and movies. Personally, my style tends to fall more towards early/mid 2000s, even though I was just a kid then. Wish I had grown up with more 90s games, though.
The "Maybe it's...." starting at 12:30 kept me going "maybe it's Maybelline."
Ha, as an '80's kid I definitely know that boomers and pre-boomers thought videogames were just for kids and would go away, computers were useless and little bank cards were at times either a menace letting thieves get your money or the best thing since sliced bread since you didn't need a trip to the bank and hoping your records were right about what money you could withdraw. Hmmm.... Gran did try liking videogames, but it was alien tech to her. Mom liked Antarctic Adventure, but once called me to say the pc was broken, the on-button didn't work. She'd actually been pressing the monitor screen. Not the button on the monitor (also the size of a pouf), but the actual screen. Gran thought the best gift for a middle-school kid was a leather over the shoulder book case that was about the size of a rottweiler and twice as heavy (instead of a backpack).
As for actual things older gens hated about my generation: our desire to stay indoors and play videogames (ftr, not very safe place to play outdoors), the music (stereotypical), the disappearance of bankchecks (accept-giros) we were 'magically' responsible for, our unwillingness to join the army, our obsession with technology and above all else: our inability to appreciate their vote-only-our-party-convictions. I won't deny that there were plenty of partygoers (not me with autism) who might've been rightly called out on nonsense (coma-drinking and arriving baked to class), but we've been working to make the world a better place... And hoping we don't end up like the most bizarre boomers.
I reckon most older folks complain when they notice something new that they haven't been bothering with... So I do try to be and remain open to new things as I'm nearing 40. OOOOOFFFF! Also, I recently had to help an older lady, whom at 91(!) still knew enough about computers to mostly keep up with things like e-mail, youtube, taxes, etc. etc.. So my advice to everyone, young or old, is to accept that unless you're fitted with a toe-tag at the morgue, you should try to keep up with the modern world. She can, I can, so can you.
My dad is a later boomer (so came of age in the early 70s) is amazed at how connected we are compared to him, but he sees how that connection can both help my gen and hurt my gen. He said on this matter:
“You’d never hear about protests for a better cause, because if you did it was about how bad and out of control you were. Now you see two sides of the story. However you are so connected that your gen can’t seem to escape the negativity, the idea that everything is wrong in our country. You can’t escape it as easy as I could, I could turn off the TV and forget that they were calling people my age “sex and drug addicted lunatics”, now you have to turn off the wifi just to get away.” I’m a Gen Z and liberal “as all hell” according to him, (he’s conservative), but he says compared to his level of connectivity, he thinks my gen are living in a as equal or more turbulent time as his time.
Your dad is very wise, but if he’s a late bloomer, he came of age in the 80s.
@@TheBerkeleyBeauty he was born in ‘59 so don’t know to be honest.
older generations just hate learning about the new way of life of the next gen. They are just too attached to the way they are used to doing things.
Remember: your grandparents and parents weren't as well behaved as teenagers as they will have you believe.

Wait, the stone tablet hating on paper is real? I thought someone was just making fun. 😂
I hope that the generation that I’m in (Gen Z) doesn’t grow old to complain about the future generation younger than them.
I feel both sides of this 👌older folk think I’m weird and I think this younger generation is odd 🤣
as a member of gen z, yea we're weird. we'll probably mellow out before 30 don't worry
Exactly. I'm a late 40's Gen X'er. Music has sucked since the early 2000s. I can't even watch a modern TV show anymore.
To be fair I (a member of the younger generation) find my generation odd.
@@F40PH-2CAT I’m 26 and I agree most music is garbage lately. Though I Don’t like 90s music really either
Embrace it and make it normal
TBH I’m 14 and I agree (to a degree) that technology is bad for us. We don’t need super advanced AIs and Social Media is making it incredibly easy to ruin someone’s life over a mistake they made like 7 years ago.
Efficiency is the name of the game doesn’t matter who feels how.....if super advanced AIs open paths such as the internet then people will work on it...Also social media has improved our lives more than ruined...Imagine if this pandemic happened in the 60s everybody would be lonely.
I was born during Eisenhower's second term. my Mother is still alive at 91
I STILL hear a bout it and hear about it and hear about it to the point that I now avoid her.
The one thing that IS true is how much faster things happen now!
In the 1970s if you ordered anything even by phone, you had to wait anywhere from 3 days to two weeks to get it.
You had to memorize or write down the phone numbers of people you called frequently. Many people who had teen age kids got two landlines in their house so that the parents could make calls
Yep. I remember always carrying spare change in case I needed to make a phone call; you can't even find a public phone booth today.
Two landlines was also good for computers in the late 80s-90s. Nowadays you don't even need a landline at home.
"Stop watching the news" best advice ever
As a late Gen Xer, I regret having listened to all the BS about being able to support a family working in a trade, and especially the "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life". No. Now what would have made a great hobby has worn me into the ground, trashed my knees and back, and I still need to run as much as possible to support a family. I could have done mechanical engineering, computer science, chemistry, just about anything else I was actually good at, but I'm stuck with turning wrenches all day.
Also a later Gen Xer. That advice is kinds bs because if you do what you love for a living you probably won't love it anymore.
Also the whole "Don't go to bed angry" is kinda bs too if you ask me. What if your spouse is abusive or just likes to argue? Are you supposed.to stay up all night talking it out and not get any rest? So you become more irritated? Just go to bed and 9 times out of 10 both of you won't be upset about it. Or at least not as upset.
My grandma (a white woman) has had 3 husbands, 2 of which were people of color (one Jamaican and the other African, but idk where in Africa; neither was my grandfather). We live in a VERY racist backwater American town that is very reluctant to let go of mid 20th century social views. Because of this very few people of color lived here until the last 20 years. When my grandma got with her first husband after my grandfather (the Jamaican, who I apparently loved enough as a toddler to feel dejected when the black man I mistook for him at the hospital wasn’t “my Georgie” lol), my great grandparents were so upset they disowned her. George was upset he caused problems with her family, but my grandma said “they won’t last a month.” But the end of the next week they had apologized to my grandma and George and wanted to get to know him. My great grandparents grew up in the late 30’s/early 40’s, so a time when whites and blacks didn’t “mix,” especially not like that. But they themselves are very family driven people and one of their sons already had moved all the way out to California with little contact even for that time. So after the initial shock and anger (I feel icky just for saying someone’s reaction towards another person’s relationship is anger) wore off and they had time to think about it, they decided they didn’t want to lose their only daughter over something so trivial and made the effort to change, which they did. My great grandma loved to throw birthday parties for family, so she did for George. My grandma got him a white shirt and left it out with a pack of Sharpies for everyone to write on it. Her 3rd daughter (my middle aunt), wrote on it in yellow Sharpie and my great grandma said something about how it would never show up. My grandma can’t keep her mouth shut to save her life (a trait I inherited, along with my biological father’s sharp wit lol). She laughed and told her mom that it didn’t matter, because both the shirt and yellow Sharpie would stand out like a beacon on his dark skin. George found it funny, but my great grandma was scandalized that her daughter would say that. So my great grandparents went from “if you choose him, we’ll disown you” to “how dare you say something like that about him!” My mom cut my grandma (and subsequently George) out of my life when I was very young and I was too little to remember more than a little bit of one night when they watched me. Still, it’s cool to listen to my grandma’s stories of what she grew up with in the late 50’s and 60’s. She went to Woodstock as an older teen and got high just standing on the outside of everyone from how much pot people were smoking. My great grandma would never have found out if my mom hadn’t opened her big mouth lol
Side story that I take with a grain of salt: my grandma told me how George used to always tell her about how he grew up with Bob Marley and they were close friends as kids. She never believed him until his funeral (RIP Georgie), where she mentioned something about it to his mom. His mom laughed as said “do you know how often I had to chase those boys through Kingston with a broom?” I really wish George had lived long enough for me to really meet him. He sounds like someone I would have gotten along great with. And I would have loved to hear about growing up in another country from him.
Cool story, but interracial marriage still causes too much trouble and has many social repercussions, unless you're rich and famous like Serena Williams. It's very hard to unite 2 different cultures together, like a Hindu marrying an Amish person.
Older people call young people snowflakes but older people complain the most
Today's commercial culture is designed to service the 18-35yo segment of the population and this can be quite frustrating to over 40's.
The older people are right. Our generation tends to get offended over non-offensive things. Older generations do complain too, but their complaints are legit in some cases.
@@finchborat I respectfully disagree
@@finchborat No, people are just mad that they cannot get away with saying offensive things anymore
@@taeyonghasmejungshook3424 Umm, some of those offensive things aren't anywhere close to offensive. SJW logic produces ignorance and political correctness produces weak-mindedness.

"We actually care for out children" it just me, of that sound like an helicopter parent.
Yikes, you're right
I lowkey feel bad for whoever their child is, helicopter parents are annoying ;-;
As someone who grew up with boomer parents that could not be bothered to attend my track meets etc and were too busy watching tv to notice anything I can say yes, this made Gen X or a lot of us into helicopter parents. We wanted work/life balance and got called lazy for that. We wanted to attend our kids' school functions and not just leave them at home alone all of the time.
@@alleycatalog Too much of a good thing is bad, but finding balance is difficult and different for each person.
@@Jose04537 I am just saying WHY a lot of Gen X and older millenials are like this. Many boomers had very little time for us. It had it's benefits and it's draw backs but as we became parents we remembered what we got up to and what we had to go through. My kids are Gen Z and while I am far from a helicopter parent they have much more structure and attention from their parents than I got.
I think we are confused on what helicopter parenting is. It's when they do everything for you, always needs to know your business, won't let you get hurt or fail. Showing support by going to games, wanting to have some bonding time isn't helicopter.
Gen X here. We had heavy metal music that was supposedly Satanic. Compared to songs that are pure pornography and profanity, Highway to Hell seems pretty tame now.
I was just thinking about this the other day. (old Millennial) I was listening to some Black Sabbath on the radio and thinking. Man,...Ozzy's voice is so nice, how did people think this was the devil's music? it's like Easy Listenings category now.
@@Melissa-wx4lu Well Ozzy did play it up for the fans back then, he did bite the head off of a bat on stage. (supposedly he thought it was a fake bat a fan threw on stage but it was a real one, albeit dead). Other groups, acts would do similar, outrageous things... the more parents/authorities would complain, the more fans they would get (ie kids rebelling against their parents views).
All 50 year-old would be hated by their 15 year-old selves? Ridiculous.

My nana, who is 92, played for the Edinburgh Lady Dynamos in the first professional womens football league back in the 1940s when she was 17/18. Whenever they toured they caused a stir, kids loved it, footballers loved it, but there were a large number who thought this was just a wartime distraction and wouldn't last past the de-mob era. There were so few female players of skill that her teams youngest member was 13 and the olderst in her 40s. She's always been a rebel my nana, she used to wear trousers and work boots all the time and got accused of being a lesbian. Even now she hates dresses.
Also her little brother, my great uncle, caused a stir when he tried to enlist in the RAF rather than the Navy, his dad thought it a farcical branch of the services and real men only went to sea in the Navy.
Sounds like my gramma, but imagine being a rebellious WOC back then. She’s 103 in July! Thank the stars for women like them!!!!

in my youth I had long hair. My mom who was a beautician at the time cut it off and gave me a perm. I cried. and I asked why? she said it was too mousy.

Now my hair is so thick and heavy It gives me headaches. It's now the original length I had it. And I can now use those pretty ornamental hairsticks.

that post abt generation x getting fricked out of jobs by boomers is so true. my dad is gen x (im millennial) and despite him having over decades of experience in nuclear power (including on submarines in the navy in the 90s), when he lost his job with BP due to mass layoffs in the area in 2016, it took him over a year to find a job at the same pay grade despite how good his resume is, full of experience and good references, and how well he interviews. and why??? it makes no sense to me. hes not a perfect man but he has spent his life dedicated to his work and doesnt deserve what he was put through over a god damn numbers game. he had to go back to nuclear power just to make ends meet and the whole reason he joined BP was to get out of nuclear power :/ i feel sorry for him
I'm a Mid Gen Z, born in 2006, but modern music just sounds like the artist is struggling to breath lol
I was born in 2002 and I almost solely listen to pre-2010 music, mostly metal and rock (Rammstein, TOOL, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Living Colour...) Not because I think I was "born in the wrong generation", but because the music just sounds better. I'll listen to anything if it's good, and I do; I don't care so much about genre (I love Kanye West and he's been very active post-2010, for example)...but I simply find myself liking the older stuff most of the time because it's more interesting. More fun. Sounds good. I wish the current music would get better so I can show it off to my future kids one day.
@@madamebkrt I am born in 2006 like this guy and i agree pre 2010 music is way better

Caring about -triggers-, Actively fighting against thing we dont find right (me too movement, canceling actual toxic and harmful people...)not so much millennials but boomers and up just can't accept the fact we dont hate everything that isn't straight, married by 25 and has 3 kids by 30. They somehow can't accept that WE accept not everyone following that pattern society has established for everyone.
Yeah, but the "me too" movement has become nothing more than a weapon to ruin innocent men's lives just for making eye contact with women, and cancel culture is out of hand, cancerous, nonsensical, and also nothing more than a weapon to ruin innocent people's careers. Older generations complain a lot about stupid things, sure, but we _cannot_ deny how absolutely out of control these "social justice movements" have gotten. They're not helping anyone and are now actively harming people.
Millennials treat Gen Z like the awesome little siblings you guys are. It's definitely not us. That being said, we both have sibling fights once in a while, but we love each other.

My Greatest Generation grandfather would complain to my early Boomer father about how easy they had it and how much he had to work to make his kids’ lives easier. I don’t know if this was a generational thing or a difference in how they each grew up, but I think it applies here.
"The current generation of kids is so honest and hard-working!" said no adult ever. And yet life goes on.
I'm a Boomer, born in 1947. The older generation hated us for our music (rock and roll) and our slang and our wacky fashions (bell bottoms! mullets!)
Just the fact that older people don’t understand us younger people’s struggles. It’s like, you’d think the older you get the more able you are to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see their perspective and not just your own. And also, you were my age at one point, so therefore it should be even easier for you to remember what it was like to struggle at my age... whether mentally, emotionally, or financially.
My dad is a baby boomer and my mom is a gen x, they got married in the late 80s and tried having kids all throughout the 90s only to finally be successful with me in '99 which makes me an elder gen z'er. It was an interesting upbringing to say the least lol.

Well, being young is not being lazy, selfish, etc., now, is it?
There is always that stigma, GenXer here and I remember at one of my early jobs we would finish our tasks early, and were left with nothing to do for about an hour or so. Our managers/supervisors didn't like that because sitting around doing nothing looked to anyone passing by as we were just lazy. So from then on we just had to look busy even if we finished our work early...
If there's anything that I, a millenial, agree with the complaints, is the music. In fact I agree with what Dave Grohl himself said about that exact same thing, "when all your favorite music talks about is your butt, then yeah we have a goddamn problem". See for example the WAP...
Also, too much reliance on "it's just a meme bruh" to justify gettimg away with anything. Like the whole thimg about filming public assaults on Twitter and YikYak (back when that was a thing) and entice the comment section into a flame war on who's right and who's wrong, "for shits and giggles". No, dude, that's wrong and reprehensible. Fuck whoever does that!

I'm a zillenial (not sure what else to call it, cause I'm right between millenial and gen z) and my parents (dad's a boomer and mom's gen x) chief complaint is that we got screwed out of the American dream. My dad once told me "well it's no wonder your generation laughs at stupid shit (memes), your generation's future is looking pretty bleak"
Although they do think it's strange I'm living with a bunch of friends along with my partner instead of us living by ourselves but I work full time and he's disabled so what else are we supposed to do

10:20 I'm a teen and my parents have the exact same problem
Early 50s, what bothers me most is that my generation wasn't born with modern technology in our hands and the generations following get all pee-pee hurt because we are not as efficient as they are.
Unfortunately, my generation (80s coming of age, born late 60s) were more worried about what we looked like than anything else. I do admire the younger gens because they dress as they please. Its refreshing.
My mother always turned off the radio when the Beatles came on especially, She Loves You. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She hated that song...lol The county that my town is in had Blue Laws. You could buy a print brush, but no paint. You could buy a baby bottle, but not the formula. The classic example of when politicians and religion get together. The Blue laws were voted out in the early 1980s.
Blue laws still exist in my state.
I love how everyone is just lazy and self centered.
People always want things to be easier for the next gen and better than they had it but then complain if that happens causing an unending cycle that doesn't but needs to get broken
I remember one of my teacher (judging by age I'd say a boomer) saying to us, a bunch of teenagers unsure of what to do in life that "work is the meaning of life". I was so flabbergasted by this I just stared at her in shock. Ma'am you're a teacher and not even a good one
I can relate to the Chirstmas/Birthday one, I eventually just started begging them to give me money instead vs stuff I'll never use. The few things I'd actually want like a high end gaming PC or like 82" TV would be out of everyone's price range so I just ask for money.
Every generation gripes about the next one. Usually calling them lazy and entitled, hating the music, and despising the new technology.
Old People, What Did the Generation Above You Hate About Your Generation?
"I'm 30...."
The word "sinister" is Latin for "left". It was originally a slur against left-handed people.
Yep. Gauche, the term for left in french also means clumsy, ungainly, gawky...🤦♂️
The word dexterity has roots in the Latin word for right (as in right handedness). Dexterity means skillful, adept, adroitness (another right hand rooted word; droit means right in french among other things), clever, favourable etc... generally good, positive definitions. (Dexter also puts a neat spin on the tv show of the same name, because it is about a serial killer named Dexter who targets people for the 'right' reason...).
Many cultures tried to enforce right handedness ( for example the bible has passages that determine right as correct/good and left as wrong, in other cultures they used their right hand to feed themselves and their left to 'wipe' themselves and why cutting off the right hand of criminals in those cultures is a punishment).
For people born naturally left handed they had to learn how to be right handed to fit in with society (in general comparison to a naturally born right handed person they seemed slow or uncoordinated, further adding weight to the slur).
Sorry for the long post.... left handed person here...😂

@@WadelDee There's a passage in Matthew where the 'good' sheep are separated to the right, while the 'bad' goats are separated to the left.
@@lazarushernandez5827 OMG, do you mean Matthew 25:33-45? Because I never noticed that there was a deeper meaning here!
@@WadelDee The meaning is pretty clear, and has nothing to do with being left or right handed, but I can see where an extrapolation was made from that passage linking anything(everything) right as good and anything left (sinister) as bad. There's also the Right hand of God (Jesus and salvation) vs the left hand of God (judgement).
How would people in their 50s and 60s think that tech makes things more complicated. We are GenX who were the first with all these tech changes as kids. We love the chages.
My grandma said that when she was young (I'm guessing early 20s) she had a miniskirt. She wore it and walked around the city and some old woman spat after her.
Seriously?
About how much we swear at eachother... A: where do you think it comes from. B: mannerisms change with the time and some cannot give a crap anymore due to how unstable things were when we grew up. C: They can't seem to figure out that people act diffrently when they aren't around them. Like for instance: my folks curse 10x more than me. They don't appear to be aware of it. I drop the occasional f-bomb and they go nuts and think i don't have friends because of it. No i don't have friends because a chunk of them did illeagal crap, went into the military, or moved on. I don't have a GF because i got harrassed all my life about it. Now i can't form relationships with women to boot. And i stopped trying to explain it and they still argue with me to this day.

I'mma bit early for this one but gen x and boomers and sometimes the oldest of millennials that got out of touch early
would always complain about what kids these days would like such as online stuff such as TH-cam, Instagram, Discord, Reddit
and even Twitch, They would say things like, "Why would you waste your time watching someone playing videogames, then would
immediately go and watch football games on the TV" I mean seriously, so much is possible now because of things like TH-cam and
the fact that so many people are able to get noticed more easily now is outstanding and it saves people from wasting paper whenever
they want to send messages to people from far away and yet because its new its seen as bad, oh yeah and video games is still getting
hammered by the media but those desperate news stations will do anything to keep viewers watching.
