as a gen z kid i would like to input that i have never actually heard someone use the word "cheugy" in real life except for the time when my mom asked me if people said it. i'm convinced tiktok made it up for clout
I’ve only heard the one girl who’s super mean and judgy about peoples clothes actually use it 😅 she’s always like “hey those shoes? Yeah, sorry, they’re cheugy. Not cool. Don’t wear those” like okay but if I like it and it’s flattering to me I’m going to anyway??
cheugy actually just sounds gross as a word lol. I hope people dont use it, it just isnt an appealing word for my ears. Sounds like it would be some sort of bodily fluid.
bc there’s a difference between internet culture and how people behave in real life. if you’ve ever heard someone talk irl the way ppl talk on twitter (like the slang) it sounds weird and out of place. that goes for generations as well. gen z kids might follow tiktok trends irl but that doesn’t mean they’ll behave the way they do online (although some do and from what i know it’s considered cringey; like for example using the word cheugy to describe your friends outfit or something like that)
I once saw someone say that millennials reacted so negatively to not being young and cool anymore because by the time other generations were aging out of their youth, they had financial security and careers and stuff like that. Gen X didn't care that they got uncool bc they had houses and retirement savings
I feel like this is also behind the phenomenon of many Millennials going the other way entirely and declaring themselves “old” and “decrepit” the second they hit 30 - since we live in a gerontocracy where most of the property and power is being hoarded by senior citizens, there’s a desperation to get old and join that class as soon as possible
Yeah for 10+ years I felt like I was still 16 cause not much had changed, I didn't have a job and lived with my mom. So yeah it is hard to think you're an adult when you're the 1st generation to have negative economic mobility and if you're a US minority it's even worse as it was never good to begin with yet somehow your great grandparents still owned a house :/
I like to describe Gen Z humor as a game of telephone. It gets passed around by so many people so rapidly that in three days, if you were not there when it began, it becomes absolutely incomprehensible to anyone else.
@@njdotson and in between every word there's an OOHHH MY GOOD and a minion fart sound and bruh sound effect number two and also vine boom and the Gordon Ramsay sound effect
The thing is: for me, as a Gen Z-er, I dressed like this in like 7th grade, so it blows my mind that ADULTS wore this clothing I now consider my bad middle-school phase (tumblr and all)
I forgot what it’s called, but it’s unironic comformity & mainstream clothing as the metaphor goes History repeats itself such as mullets coming back into trend rn a lot of stuff comes back eventually, OR never died in the first place I was borderline Gen Z / Millennial & me being into Bloo’s Clues had everyone turning their necks around me like yo.. Fred was always sick af to watch
Remember: Gen Z vs Millennials mostly exists primarily to sell us stuff. I fell victim to this myself when I had a little panic about my ripped skinny jeans being "cheugy" and I found myself purchasing a pair of baggy jeans with the knees cut out. Wear what you want, listen to what you want, know you are never immune to advertising.
I never thought about it that way, for me it made me realise how many different types of jeans there were because I refused to buy jeans for a while because skinny jeans never suited me I'm not tryna disagree with you or smth just sharing my thoughts
I think Millennials are made fun of because we are aging and the new generation is now the cool kids, it will happen to them aswell in around 10 years. So chill.
i never understood that because as a gen z 21 year old i distinctly remember everyone back in middle and high school preferring skinny jeans as the ultimate jean type but i guess its because it was back in the 2010s when those are all the rage for most of the decade
THIS! Having ADHD I have had to become way more self aware of advertising or even peer pressure because of being prone to making split-second decisions without thinking. Really now I think it's something everyone should be aware of because you don't realize how much you're actually being sold until you're consciously taking it into consideration. At the end of the day no one really cares what type of jeans you wear or where your hair is parted, just wear what makes you most comfortable and live your life!
I’m Gen Z but I remember the millennial tumblr aesthetic, it’s burned into my brain, I remember the ombré hair, the zoella style, the sunglasses and moustaches shirts, the aesthetically pleasing Starbucks pictures, the hats, the weird obsession with ‘sweater weather’… good times
The story with Rae Dunn is a bit sad. She originally had made these with the idea of things that are imperfect are wonderful and wholesome. When she sold her brand all of her creativity was taken and it became like all the other shit. She has said that it makes her sad with how out of hand it got and how people are with her brand (like the shoppers). She continues to do pottery for herself, family, and friends, but is upset with what had become of it all due to large corporations doing corporation things.
I feel bad that this is me, I’m gen z and dress grunge, but at least I took some things from the older gen I grew up with and I’m not entirely screwed 😂
Honestly that style is still kind of around. I'm genz but I still see people in my age bracket rocking the style. It's just not exactly saught after anymore. Granted with my generation no style is really sought after. With the massive proliferation of the internet and the ability to see pretty much anything we are all on average pretty stylistically open, there isn't really as much of a standard "in style" anymore as opposed to an "in personality."
It's kinda funny how some of those 90s flavors have come back. Heck, I think I've even seen bellbottoms here and there. I think, as the other commenter suggested, that some of these showings in clothes lately are more of an expression of individual self rather than following group trends, thanks to the sometimes paradoxical outcomes of internet social interaction.
i'm a gen z (16 right now) and i'm sick of seeing so many millennials online be like "oh kids and teens these days will never grow up with kingdom hearts and 2000s anime and a DS and blah blah blah" like i have an older brother who introduced me to that stuff at a pretty young age, what do you mean the newer generations can't or won't grow up with this stuff???
RIGHT I got to do all of those and im 18. I got to play with a fucking atari. Just cause you were born in a period doesnt mean all we have to use is the modern devices and shit
no LITERALLY i’m 21 and i learned how to read off of kh and specifically pokemon stadium 1 so when people are like “oh you’re too young to remember the BEST media” i’m like tf you talking about
i cannot count the amount of millennials that are so shocked to find out that i, an 18 year old, had movies on tapes when i was a kid and know how to work a tape recorder. some people don’t have enough money to move with the times, Carly
i like to tell people that my family had a console tv until i was in 6th grade (i'm also 18) like dude. not everyone was constantly getting the newest technology lmao, no one in my family has ever owned an iphone
THIS omg. the amount of millennials who do not believe that i, also currently 18: - watched VHS tapes as a child - used a portable CD player before i had a phone - went to blockbuster regularly - have used a landline before - had a clock radio in my bedroom - brought my gameboy to school on our “technology days” (which was, by the way, my mom’s when she was younger. don’t know why its so hard to believe that my mother kept a good gaming device and gave it to her daughter??)
i'm fourteen and i used to use vhs tapes to watch power rangers, i listened to christmas music on cassette tapes, i know how to read a clock (it will take me a minute though,) i can use a rotary phone and write cursive and all that shit. i grew up with old people technology. oh no.
For sure. We had the best of the best and we raised with mainstreaming technology just as they did, due to that we had many things in common from just a understanding point. Also we had the good shows that weren’t just shovel ware for your spazz of a kid and game companies/companies in general that weren’t just their to make a quick buck like the new generation have today.
tbh that’s probably why there’s a lot of discourse over when the millennial era ended/gen z started. there’s tons of overlap, esp if you have siblings. i’m not even a younger millennial (born in 89), but my sisters born in 96 and even 2000 have similar childhood experiences to mine idk
"We're getting to the age where we're starting to become home owners." Actually we're getting to the age where we start realizing "Wow. I'll never be able to afford a property in my life."
Aside from the market being terrible it's even difficult to find a place to rent either an apartment or house. The owners of these places are most likely Baby Boomers who lived in that era where it was easy and cheap to build a place and rent it out, it was easy to find a high paying job because work was so readily available, industry was booming. I believe that generation is still living in that time period. Even then they are probably assuming the generation above us are the ones looking from home. That maybe true but it's us millennials are younger who are searching for a place to live and we can't afford it. Their response "well we just find someone who can."
This Kurtis guy is dense af. I’m only a min and forty secs in to this trash heap of a video, and he’s calling boomers racists (can he possibly be anymore cringe??), and gen X are soley known for HGTV?? I’m gen X, and I had to look up what HGTV even is. I haven’t watched tv in 12 years now, and my boyfriend isn’t that far off behind me. The internet blew up with us - why _WOULDN’T_ a massive chunk of us cut off television and watch stuff from the Internet instead?? What a goof this kid is. I’m out.
Genuinely surprised you didn't bring up "adulting" and how it's still alive and well for too many people. I'm 37 and that was cringe the moment it appeared
@@fisrtnamelastname3083P sure they're talking about #adulting, where ppl would post about getting their first apartment and grocery shopping and stuff
I feel like it still has a use case, but it's just narrower. Like it's okay... for college students and people entering the workforce, setting out on their own for the first time. Renting an apartment for the first time, getting your own health insurance, doing your taxes, etc. I feel like during that introduction to adulting, that phrase can be used to encapsulate that new experience/level of self-reliance. But once you're living independently and being in the workforce for a while, time is up. You shouldn't be 42 and posting "#adulting XP 😜" with a peace sign selfie while doing dishes. Stop it. For your own sakes as well as ours.
Yeah, babies born 2024 or2025 (i think) and later will be betas, if I remember correctly. If I have kids they will probably be in that generation hehe..
@@malmfao cause it’s alphabetical originally but sometimes develops new names. for example: baby boomers are generation W but are called baby boomers because of the baby boom, gen x is just gen x and didn’t get a new name, gen Y is millennials bc they were born right before the new millennium, gen z are just gen z for now or some call us zoomers, etc. so obviously since that’s the end of the alphabet it needs to start over again at A and B eventually. and the automatic names for A and B are Alpha and Beta. (also i believe the one before boomers is the silent generation which would technically be gen v)
The thing about her generations is, the parents and the kids are usually a generation apart. Baby Boomers are parents to Millennials. Gen Xers are parents to Gen Z. Millennials are parents to Gen Alpha. Meaning that Gen Z’s kids are gonna be the Betas 😭 (This is just average, so if you have a kid young or old, the generations won’t line up like that)
@@lotus_flower2001 pretty millenial style. Remember how much 70s nostalgia there was in the 90s, 2ks. Dazed and confused, that 70s show, almost famous, bootcut jeans and tinted lenses.
i think it is necessary to point out that there was actually a cult in the early 2000s where people worshipped severus snape and edited themselves into pictures with him. they believed that snape took control of their husbands - especially in bed - and their HUSBANDS WERE OKAY WITH THIS. THIS WAS A THING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
I do have to say, millennials make the best elementary school teachers. One of my teachers in elementary school was a raging millennial and disney adult, and my whole class loved her. It was terrifying, looking back at it.
My second grade teacher had millennial vibes and she was a great second grade teacher. But, then she taught us in 7th grade too because of budget cuts and she was just pure cringe
I worked at TJMaxx for 3 years and after living under the reign of the Rae Dunn chokehold all our customers were in, I’m so glad it’s finally getting the slander it deserves
I never knew the name of the font on all her products and it’s been eating me up because I was so sick of seeing it. Now we are saturated with whatever that overused “bridesmaid font” is, and phrases like “Rosé All Day.”
as a spore born in 96, I’m in a weird transition between millennials and gen z, and all it’s done is make me realize that generations are fake and nothing is real.
I think us kids born in 96 should have our own generation. Being born in late November of 96, I feel like I really got the tail end of the generation. Don't really relate to most millennial to be honest.
Queenshroom, you nailed it. Honestly, the sooner everyone realizes this, the better off we’ll be. Its all for capitalism anyways, gen z treasure from boomer trash, millennial “cheungy” style (only learned the expression today really) is whatever the next gen after Z will consider high fashion revamped. It’s all a cycle.
Our year of odd transitioning generation stretches to I would say 92-98. Its being born just old enough to explore the internet uncensored is what put our hairs on our chest and our meme game God tier
I’m gen z and I grew up with dvds, vhs tapes, cds, old computers, renting movies and other things that are considered a part of “millennial childhoods”. If baffles me that these people think we’re like 10 years old 😭
True, like I have owned tapes at some point too, I didn't had 24/7 internet access or a smartphone until quite recently either, millennials and gen Zs are not that different both of us are from a gen when the technology was in the developing stage, gen Alpha are the i pad gen with constant internet exposure since they were born.

It's also a class thing. If your family didn't have a lot of money you probably had an "older" childhood for your age, or experienced something entirely different.
@@Cobalt985absolutely this. i think the jump from vhs to dvds is a good example of this. my family couldn’t afford a dvd player or dvds until they had become pretty ubiquitous and thus more affordable. and like…our collection of vhs tapes didn’t just suddenly disappear because a new format popped up? i don’t get why people act like this happens. same with cds and floppy disks. people were using floppy disks well into the cd era. i was using them pretty much up until they became obsolete, which was actually not that long ago.
The millennial joke that can most quickly bring me to the edge of committing a violent crime is when a grown-assed person refers to their day-to-day tasks in life as _"adulting"_
As a Gen Z'er, I've always generally felt that we've had a mutual sense of understanding with Millennials. We can kind of just look at the state of the world and then look at each other and go "yep," without having to explain ourselves.
We mostly do. I say this as a cusper: There's a weird disconnect between early millennials and late Gen Z, and those are the only ones who are actually preoccupied with this stuff.
Yeah, anyone who is going to have to spend their adulthood living through the climate crisis should be considered an ally, no matter what fuckin’ memes they like
I think the fact that a person has little to no context about Gen Z memes is what makes them so funny. They're bizarre, chaotic, and hardly make any sense, and I love that about them. They're like a fever dream.
very accurate. i am not on tiktok or most social medias tbh, and the gen z humor tiktok kurtis showed is absolutely incomprehensible to me. i have no clue what any of it means but it still makes me laugh every time i watch this video
chaotic memes been a thing since before gen z but it used to be very niche. like deepfriedmemes subreddit. but gen z has embraced it as normal humor which is cool
As the older sibling to a Gen Alpha kid, Generation Alpha kids are absolutely freaking terrifying. Edit: yall stop yelling at me. I only said they were terrifying because the few Gen Alphas I know are incredibly mean.
I think your point about art becoming more confusing is really interesting. So Absurdist and Post Modern art came out after World War II when people were trying to deal with the horror and brutalism that they had witnessed around them. Especially making and escape that was both confusing to outsiders and brought them a sense of comfort. I kinda see a very similar thing happening with meme culture as we process our current world climate
@laykeigh We live in a society I guess Interesting takes are cool but they won't generate you money. Welcome to capitalism baby. We only accept the system because other are (or seem to be) worse
Post postmodernism is also extremely interesting to me, like Turner's post-postmodernism is essentially just "fuck it everything and nothing is art" in a way
i think some of of post-wwii abstract art was also meant as a sort of protest because of the sheer amount of artistic censorship happening in germany (look up degenerate art/entartete kunst if you haven't heard of it, it's one of those bits of history that i find interesting)
Kurtis is the definition of a "cool millennial" its essentially just acknowledging that times are changing and nobody stays cool forever. Its nice to see someone who gets it.
@@trax3421 hmm kinda but also it's far more cringe to feel the need to label cyclical behaviours & attitudes this or that 🥴 we're all better-off fighting the urge to over-generalize
Trust me, thinking that you won’t be cool or there’s no point after you’re a teen or 20 year old is going to ruin your life. I’m 32 and hate my fucking self because I’m not young anymore. And it’s because I grew up with the mindset that “older people aren’t cool”. I was never cool. But I wish I was dead because I’m not young
That shit hurt to watch. I like Kurtis' description of "just a little bit wrong". The actual lyrics were kinda fun, in a dad joke way. Would have been better if she just did spoken word or something. But the song, the hand over heart, the bad filter and camera, oh dear God. Stop it, fellow millennials. We're not cool and it's okay. Take a page out of Gen X's book: sit back, relax, stfu and leave people alone. Occasionally scream at Gen Z to get off our lawn, but that's it lol
Being born from 1999-2002 means you watch Millennial vs Zoomer discourse like its your parents bringing your name into the divorce arguments during dinner
Being born in 2000 I enjoy alot of the 90s entertainment but I wouldn't understand their tech much. Also idk if dude got popular in the 90s or not but I use that word alot. Dude and bruh.
I blame everything on mass-production and offshoring that really effed with millenials. Plus on the tech side: ppl like Steve Jobs and later Mark Zukerberg who started off with a 60s counter culture, "free, decentralized" internet ideals but then sold out for money
I feel like a lot of the cultural divide between millennials and gen z has come down to what social media app you've spent the most time on in the last 5+ years. I have millennial friends who spend a lot of time sharing posts on FB and millennial friends who spend a lot of time on tiktok and their senses of humor are VASTLY different. It kind of builds on/feeds itself, in a way, like it groups the same sort of personalities together and then pushes away people who are different. Really interesting to think about.
You’re def right but also the people you’re around. Being surrounded by people who care about those fb posts I’m sure plays into it. I’m a millennial but I’m surrounded by all age groups and if you looked at my fyp vs my bf’s they’re WAY different. I have someone putting a fake tongue on a drill and licking things while he has those “couple comedy” accounts.
It would be interesting to see an article or personality quiz about how the social media sites you use affect your beliefs and personality. Like a classic buzzfeed quiz, but based on actual data. I'm just curious to see what trends we would find if we actually researched it, because it sounds really interesting! I almost exclusively use youtube as my social media site, so does anyone have any ideas of what a "youtube person" would be?
I don't know why, but I've always found the "... I hardly know her" jokes so damn funny and I just love how Kurtis smashes them out in every video. I'm a millennial guy and that is peak humor for me.
It's because for some reason you never see them coming, he's really good at spacing them just far enough apart to hit you with another one by surprise.
I’m a cusper and I remember in high school seeing the “only 90’s kids” stuff and being too young for it. I realized the people gatekeeping it/talking about less cool younger people’s childhoods were were in college already and that made me think how immature that mentality is. So I think millennials getting dunked on by the younger generation could be considered to be payback for that. Edit: glad to see in the replies I’m not the only one who felt like this!
i was born in 98 and i would always try SO HARD to include myself in the "only 90s kids" stuff but obviously, being 0 to 2 yrs old in the 90s doesnt include me in "90s kids"
Oh my god the whole "90s kid" thing has always annoyed me, I was born in 2000 and a lot of that stuff applies to the early 2000s too. Like I'm sorry but knowing what a VHS tape is does not make you special or unique 🤷🏼♀️
So fun fact, this trend can be traced back to Jeff Foxworthy's standup bit "you might be a redneck." He dropped his comedy album in the early 90s and that one line became a cultural earmark. You could not escape the mid-90s without hearing someone either quoting Foxworthy or making up their own version of the bit. In a very real way, comedians and comedy clubs kept people connected, and it was one of the earliest ways we had to spread memes. So this concept would be iterated upon nearly ad infinitum, expanding into the realm of visual medium once the internet really gained traction and new technology allowed us to create different types of art and share it with anyone anywhere. Eventually it evolved to broader applications that we came to see in listicle farms ("you're a real 1Der if you know these 10 facts," "if you grew up with [rural activities] you had a REAL childhood," "you're probably from [city/state/country] if," etc), culminating in what are now millions of facebook pages, jpegs stuffed full of references to one specific time or place or fandom, and insufferable posts that gatekeep experiences to specific generations as though we don't live in the era of Literally Everything Ever Available All The Time.
What bothered me about the whole gen z vs millennial war was that millennials are the older generation, they’re supposed to be the mature ones. Instead they decide to argue with literal children
I can't fully agree with that, but hearing a grown woman rebel against youths on tiktok with a song about her style choices like she's on Glee felt weird. maybe i don't get nuances of situation, maybe she gets piled up by group of ciberbulling youths, but on a first glance power dynamic looks way off for her to be standing up for her minimal style differences agains some hight schoolers, as if they are her authority figures who have any say over what she wears. why does she even care what gen z think of her looks in the first place
being Gen Z born in the early 2000s and having the exact same experience as Millenials growing up (bacon everything, mustache bff necklaces, "narwhals lol so random", sparkly ties and fedoras) is the weirdest shit ever
Millennial wedding: their dog is the ring bearer, they’ll reference their hogwarts houses in their vows, then when they post the pics afterwards they’ll caption it “so… we did a thing”
Ikr. I’m turning 28 next month and I was watching this like, “where was I when all of this was happening?” Then again, I’m usually never aware of trends in the first place. It feels weird to imagine that people exist who put stock in what’s considered popular at the moment or feel embarrassed for doing/saying/wearing things that are considered outdated. I’m not at all convinced I’m above people who DO care; I just can’t relate to the experience at all, and I would rather keep it that way, since I already judge myself way too heavily for everything else, lmfao
@EmMy Ikr? People who obsess over things being ‘cringe’ just come off as really insecure tbh. Unapologetic authenticity is where it’s at. It’s way more fun to enjoy whatever you enjoy w/o being afraid of people judging you for it 💕
Seriously. I’m in my 30s, if a teen makes fun of me I don’t care. They’re young, it’s what they’re supposed to do 🤷🏽♀️. And most gen z is super kind anyway - I think this is mostly bs.
@@seal8900 I think the counter to that is that Gen Z has grown up pretty much exclusively in a time when social media was a dominant force. I've seen a lot of videos breaking down some of the impacts of that reality (which are many) and one common thread is that Gen Z has aged/matured faster than previous generations. It's sort of the argument that "kids weren't able to just be kids" as long as in prior generations. It's the source of the meme about "me when I was 13 vs. 13 year olds now" as an example. I think in general that kids today start wearing make-up younger, start dating younger, etc. There are positives and negatives to maturing younger and I think you can certainly argue against the conclusion, but it's interesting to consider the idea that people in the middle of the millennial generation and the middle of Gen Z are potentially closer in maturity than their ages would suggest. Creepy people abuse that notion as well, but I think it explains some of the weirdly strong reaction to perceived "bullying" by people much younger. All of this from the perspective of a 1994 baby, like Kurtis. Ninja Edit: I didn't consider this as I was writing my comment, but it might also stem from the fact that many inter-generational interactions happen through faceless media (comment sections like this one, etc) so it's harder to look at the person you're arguing with and say, "What am I doing? This is a literal child."
i love being on the older side of gen z where i remember “keep calm” posters from middle school but i can still wear clothes trending on tik tok without feeling cringe
Please don’t think that you can’t experiment with fashion when you get older. You’ll hate life . Trust me. I wish I was dead because I’m in my 30s and thoughts like this comment made me feel like life ends after your 20s. Don’t do this to yourself
i rly don’t get why some millennials let themselves get beat up over this. why would u care what high schoolers think once ur out of high school? it doesn’t matter lol. i just need to make sure i remember that when gen z is older and generation alpha starts shitting on us
it got compounded with everyone shoved into each other's social circles online during lock downs. thats when this shit exploded. Its ridiculous all of it.
19-24 year olds are roughly the biggest influencers of popular culture and trends, and millennials just got pushed out of that age group in the last few years. It's a change for them
I’m on the cusp of millennial and Gen Z, so here’s my reason: Millennials have been getting shit on by Boomers and even Gen X all our/their lives, so for kids to come around and pick on us/them is like when your little sibling dogpiles on you while your parents and older siblings are giving you shit about how much you suck. Not to mention that Millennials were the first ones to grow up with internet in late adolescence AND weather so many global issues that still affect the world today. Millennials also laid their bodies down so Gen Z could make the final big push against Boomer bullshit. Without them sacrificing their mental health and being the unfortunate ground beef to clog up the thresher, Gen Z wouldn’t have enough precedent to actually push for big change. I don’t know, kids think that because they can talk a few mean words into a box, that they’re hot shit. They act like they’re so much more woke and progressive when they’re just as vapid and self centered as everyone else.
@Talyn has time It seems like they're less progressive. Go see if you can find the surveys on generations and sexism. Apparently gen z is more sexist than millennials. More likely to agree with statements like "Leadership doesn't suit women" or that women should prioritize their families at home and shit like that. So it seems like it's just getting worse.
The biggest difference is that Gen-Z does cringe stuff too, but most of the time you can tell they are in on the joke. When I was in high school people walked around with bright yellow shirts that said $WAG and also that shirt of Stewie Griffin wearing the aviators. But it was done so completely unironically. 🤮🤮🤮
Kids are gonna wear and do cringy things, it’s not a millennial thing. I’m sorry once you’re older you’ll look back and cringe at yourself, you can’t avoid it by telling yourself you were self aware.
i feel like theres this weird thing where if an older zoomer isn’t as current w online culture then they feel more millennial, whereas younger millennials who DO keep up w online culture still feel pretty millennial. just an interesting thing i noticed
I agree, there are some weeks where I'm so busy with work I don't keep up with the internet, then I feel like I fell behind in tiktok jokes and stuff? It makes me feel millenial-ish, but i was born in '99
The pop culture of both generations is heavily internet based. I've found that the way I relate to people is more based on when we started going online than our actual age
no fr, i guess im classified as “older gen z” and i don’t keep up with what’s current the way my friends do. im always behind on trends and im ok with that, but it is a little alienating sometimes. also as someone who is autistic, gen z humor can be difficult to keep up with bc of all the layers of irony (which i love, but just don’t always understand) so bc of that i sometimes feel part millennial or something. i was also friends with a lot of millennials when i was in high school so maybe that’s part of it
The gen Z version of millennials going "Erm, that just happened" is someone saying something that references sex in any way and someone else responding "Ayo???? Kinda sus bro"
Honestly both millennial and gen Z humor can be summed up as a coping mechanism, both are ways our generations cope with the stresses of living in the modern age. One is more a deflection of the issues, and the other is embracing the issues with open arms and then strangling it to death. Neither are probably healthy
Gen Z makes me cringe sometimes too. We’re the type to say “we’re the turning point” or “we’ll start the revolution” and then cut to us being afraid to order at a restaurant.
@@LR-tr5cn well i’m sure the op was talking ab the people on tiktok because i’ve seen tons of comments like: “we’re the revolution” & “we’re the most powerful generation”, etc… and would u look at that surprise… it’s mostly people between the ages of 11-17 😭. plus it was an exaggeration. kids say cringy stuff , whatever is cringe to you.
I’m a millennial and when that takedown of skinny jeans happened, I did go and buy mom jeans. They looked terrible on me! Something we need to remember is that just cause it’s a trend doesn’t mean it looks good on everyone. No one should feel forced to follow a trend and us millennials are getting older so it’s okay to be a little out of touch with the teen trends.
im gen z and i feel super insecure in skinny jeans, but i won’t shame either generation…it’s a piece of clothing! i think it was definitely blown out of proportion on both sides :/
Same lol, they're like the cool uncles and aunts who aren't old enough to be your parents which makes it less weird and are young enough to still kinda relate to us in certain ways.
I wish I could go back to the late 2010s and smack some fashion sense into myself. Before 2015, my mom was buying my clothes, so I was just gonna look ugly regardless. But 2016-2017 was like a drunken shopping trip at Walmart
I think categorizing ages based on the years you were born in general is weird. cause a millennial born in 1981 vs a millennial born in 1996 is a pretty big difference in age and behavior. a lot can happen in 15 years. so I just think it is weird. idk
Yea, I was born in 96 and relate way more to the gen z stereotype. I don't remember 9/11, 2008 financial crisis, dial up internet, and a lot of other stuff that is stereotypically a "millennial experience."
We’re zillennial guys don’t listen to pew research crap. People born in 96 literally were in school with 95-00 their whole lives it’s it’s so weird and then some of us graduated with 97 that considered gen z doesn’t make sense but we know we’re in the middle!
@@Mutoshishou no, because I was only 12 and already growing up poor. Nothing changed for me. It wasn't this big moment of change in my life, so I don't remember it.
as someone who wears skinny jeans and parts my hair to the side, literally nobody cares about the way I dress. Its not like anyone will rip the hot topic jeans out of my hands because they aren't cool enough anymore. they're still in stock, people are still buying them, so that godawful God bless the USA cover was totally unnecessary.
right like millenials act like we are gonna force them to have a middle part. We really dont care, its just poking fun, but then cringey millenials take it super personally 💀
@@c.a.r.o literally! I'm a millennial and i've been known to rock a middle part too sometimes. it just depends on what I'm feeling or however my hair behaves that day lol. it's not the end of the world
As a Millennial, I associate some of that emblematic "cheugy" stuff with older generations. Like, my mom is part of Gen X and some of her interior decorations get dangerously close to "Live, Laugh, Love" signs. Minion memes are also something I've always associated with people who were at least over 40 who use Facebook, not Millennials.
Honestly yeah. Apart from weird cringy people of FB and Tiktok millennials and Gen Z are practically the same. The real cringe generations are Boomers and Gen X. Stay Strange (and strong ig) fellow cool generations
@@princess1sprinkles I had a good period of time (from like 8-10) where I thought Pinterest reuploads of Rage Comics and Minon Memes were the funniest shit. Keep in mind this was around 2015-2016
2:39 as a “proud” member of generation “alpha” I’m glad we’ve been at least mentioned. We are like the middle child of the generations…All we are currently known for is our cringy ass slang😭😭
They created the type of humour and gen z took it from there and made it worst lol, Kinda just shifted it from “haha I hate myself” to “haha I’m so mentally I’ll but who cares”
@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop you say made it worst but all we did was have more then the 1 punchline like we get it "ahahah im going to kill myself" shit got boring when we where 12 so ofc we had to change it so it could atually be funny
@@thedarkd6 I hear that joke all the time from gen z tho? just like "haha time for a vacation to the mental hospital" its hardly different, we just want to draw lines between us both making jokes about mental health issues. Its all pretty damn unhealthy so I can only hope the next humor wave pulls away from "lmao kill me" jokes that both z/millennial like so much
All people have cringy moments in all ages and generations, you just didn’t see it back than because older generations didn’t have the internet to document it like millennials and gen Z do.
one thing i’ve noticed about millennial humour is if revolves heavily in facial expressions and hyperbole, like you could probably get the punchline to a joke with the sound off just based off the camera zooms and over exaggerated expressions
It's not just millennials though. The whole wojack phenomena, Dean Norris's face, and then all kinds of other stuff is incorporated into Gen Z humor, it's just more abstract and there's so many layers that you would have to be cripplingly chronically online to understand all of this shit -- which you should strive not to be.
I think of millennial humor as more light and almost innocent, probably because we seen some shit and just want to block it out. I find gen z humor to be almost grittier somehow. Also maybe because we were so influenced by Disney Channel and Nickelodeon rather than memes and internet culture.
Yeah, that sounds about right, gen z humor revolves around randomness, I’ve seen so many tiktoks where something is happening and the camera turns around and it’s something very random, or a random sound or phrase happens, I like both types of humor tbh
Being born on the cusp with a sibling 9 years older than me has left me able to relate too much to both Millenial and Gen Z culture. Every generation argument is an identity crisis 😌
Felt that, I'm a middle gen-z kid, but all my siblings and a lot of my friends are at least a decade older than me. These types of videos give me identity crises because I feel like I have a foot on each side lmao
meeee. i'm a 97er with a brother born in 86 and basically grew up with all the media and games that he grew up with since i spent most of my childhood in his room. for years i refused to identify as anything other than a millennial, even though it's so silly. :D
Ikr. I was born in 200. All the time I see millennials saying “Look at this, a (random gadget or snack), you Gen Zs probably have no idea what this is” and I’m like…… what.. I still have one of those….. you think we’re all toddlers?
Tik Tok boys/girls will be the gen Z equivalent to Tumblr girls/boys in the near future. We will look back at the terrible dances and the middle part hair, and cringe so hard at our lack of self awareness that we won't be able to sleep at night, just like millennials do. MARK MY WORDS
Honestly those who make jokes about tiktokers and go as far as too harasss children are far more cringe than the tiktokers themselves. They're just making content they like. And I can name a million youtubers worse than tiktokers rn.
kurtis saying "this is camp" after watching that awful millennial song was SO unexpected and made me literally bark out a laugh i was so caught off guard
On the hobbies thing as a Gen Z'er: I feel like hobbies "done right" is j you enjoying your hobby but not making it a whole personality and not like trying to gatekeep it which it feels like the millennials in those vids were doing
as someone who worked at Marshall’s it’s terrifying. We had to have policies put in place about Rae Dunn. I would get calls like everyday asking if we had a certain rae dunn mug.

@@xquenda275 said by someone who was clearly Not around during those times hahaha cuz it’s deff a whole look 🤣🤣 my daughter got it down to a science Lmao
Honestly the word "millennial" has become a disdainful catch-all term for anyone younger than crusty Boomers and Gen X's. My boomer dad literally called my 22 year old cousin a millennial and I'm like, um what? (I'm 36 just as a reference point.)
Yup, at my high school graduation one of the school board members had a whole long speech about how we should be voting and he kept calling us millennials and we all looked at each other like ?? We’re not millennials most of us weren’t even around for the turn of the millennium
When I told my best friend's grandma I couldn't eat her burgers because I was vegan and she said "you millennials and your made up words!" Bruh (I'm 22 now, I was 15 at the time 😂) my mom's a millennial lmao.
I feel like millennials and gen Z are very similar, and are a lot nicer than your older generations. I lot of people think we’re stupid and make dumb stereotypes, but I love seeing how society has evolved to be less divisive. It feels like each generation has tried to do things better. Millennials and gen Z also get along because both are targets of the whole “YOU GET EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU, YOU CRYBABIES NEED TO GET BEATEN” arguments from older generations, and we’re each seeing right through that and trying to be better
this is true, as a GenX i can attest that every younger generation has gotten less racist, and more conscious about the environment, and less about the nuclear armageddon and stuff
@@vashsunglasses I don't know a single person in my gen who's had a reliable one of those for years (although I appreciate that that used to be a thing we had). Changes to workplace agreements/contracts/law generally have hit everyone of employable age 😞
When I was 11 me and my sister who was 8 went to a Harry Potter trivia night and when we won, this one adult woman came up to us as we got our prize and started yelling at us and accusing us of cheating, like seriously calm down
Considering you likely didn’t have a cell phone to google things to cheat with at the time that’s even more alarming lol. Like what? You had all 7 books with a magic ctrl F function hiding under the seat?
I was born in this weird environment where friends were Gen Z, the internet was still Millennial oriented, parents were Gen X and grandparents were a little older than Boomers. I got a little bit of everything and I've come to the conclusion that generations create these arbitrary boundaries that people take too seriously. I feel like no matter how much you hate someone, you're bound to agree with them on at least one thing. Generations just cause people to get uselessly angry at something that ultimately will never matter. Also completely unrelated sidenote but my dad said Kurtis has a great mustache lol
I agree. Generations are meant to be used in broad terms, but many people treat them like Zodiac signs. People even take the cut-offs dates way too seriously, and lose it if you bring up that people born around cut-offs may be wildly different depending on their upbringing. Not to mention other factors like class or where you're from.
You’re right honestly 💯 because there’s even kids who are born in between two generations and I’m one of those people so it is weird when people try and act as if everyone is just a part of one generation when not everyone is like that.
Dude I find it so funny how each generation hates on each other, like they were so much cooler or better... We were all cringey dumbasses at one point, we just did it in different ways. Like for example I'm 17 (Gen Z) and I used to wear a fedora into school and dab ironically (because I thought it was stupid) but I did it so much it eventually became unironic! We were all cringe just none of us want to admit it!
I agree however I feel like there isnt much hatred towards other generations or beef outside of gen z and millennials because I feel like sometimes millennials act like there so much better than gen z making fun of them for all sorts of stuff (this is a smaller group of people but they are the ones who post it online) and then it only makes gen z not like them very much
i enjoy seeing millenials get bullied a little, because millenials were rude af back in the day on tumblr and other socials medias because they were the main demographic at the time, so whenever genz would just exist online we'd get made fun of or get told that 'only 90s kids remember' (often not true lmao), and if we didnt understand something (because we were kids lol) 'what are you, like 12? get off the internet buddy'. but other than that I honestly don't get the generational divide, because we both grew up with mostly the same stuff, especially if you (like me and many more) grew up poor. I also had a flip phone for most of my life and watched dvds, etc. generation alpha is the generation we should be scared of, genuinely. like these kids have no social skills, empathy and are chronically online from the moment they're born.
@@miminaomi9844 the only reason i ever got a “smart”phone (some cheap thing from verizon that the salesman convinced my mom was better than an iphone in terms of data usage) was bc they stopped making flip/slide phones. i had my slide until 2014 when it broke
@Danny Adams Anyone spending time on TikTok to dunk on people born after themselves is an idiot. I have never been prouder of generations that came after. It looks like ya'll are trying to be better than us _and it's a good thing!_ (as a millennial) TikToks full of horrible people anyway. The rare gems on there aren't worth using that app.
im an older gen z and my sisters a younger millennial and i completely agree that we have the same hobbies, we watched a lot of similar media as a kid, etc. by FAR the main difference between us is our use of social media even in 2022 she'll send me a meme she found on facebook and its a text post i read when it was first posted on tumblr in 2011
I honestly think that more depends on the person. I am a millenial and I uninstalled facebook very long ago. However I do use reddit which is pretty millenial. I use tiktok as well though. I think more then anything gen z vs millenial war is more just normies vs not normies, different groups of people into different things.
As a Tumblr user since around 2011, it always pains me when I see a whole text post screenshot and posted on Pinterest or something. On the other hand it’s fun to finally be “cool before it was cool”, I guess?
It does depend. I'll be 29 in a few months so I'm a young millennial. I'm pretty unusual for my generation too though, I don't like social media. I don't care who ate what for breakfast and I don't care about their selfies. If I wanna talk or hang with someone I send 'em a text. My humor is also based on context and circumstance. My gen Z BF at 23 is way different. His humor and memes are totally random, he can laugh at things that don't have context to them, memes that are just made to be purposely ridiculous. But in terms of hobbies and likes we're more similar.
Well yeah "older gen z" and "younger millennial" doesn't mean there's like some huge culture shift just based on a couple years. Don't let these silly generational labels define you or anyone else :)
Was I the only 1996 z-lennial that looked up “how to be an indie girl” and actually took the wiki how article seriously? I had an all grey outfit in high school. I thought it was cool to shit on people for listening to Taylor swift. I bought fake mustaches from a quarter machine at a Chinese buffet. I’m confessing my sins right now.
People born from like 1997 to 2000 have this weird thing where we are gen z on paper, but up until like 2016 I was told I was gen y, I don't think it was properly categorised until recently. Also, most of us feel like we don't belong to millennials or gen z. Like we grew up with the offcuts of 90s culture and tbh I feel like my childhood was wildly different from younger gen z.

as a gen z kid i would like to input that i have never actually heard someone use the word "cheugy" in real life except for the time when my mom asked me if people said it. i'm convinced tiktok made it up for clout
I’ve only heard the one girl who’s super mean and judgy about peoples clothes actually use it 😅 she’s always like “hey those shoes? Yeah, sorry, they’re cheugy. Not cool. Don’t wear those” like okay but if I like it and it’s flattering to me I’m going to anyway??
Kind of a dumb word tbh. But I'm sure that's what every successor generation says about the newer one.
cheugy actually just sounds gross as a word lol. I hope people dont use it, it just isnt an appealing word for my ears. Sounds like it would be some sort of bodily fluid.
@@visnau1126 mmm yeah baby, luegy that cheugy all over me.
bc there’s a difference between internet culture and how people behave in real life. if you’ve ever heard someone talk irl the way ppl talk on twitter (like the slang) it sounds weird and out of place. that goes for generations as well. gen z kids might follow tiktok trends irl but that doesn’t mean they’ll behave the way they do online (although some do and from what i know it’s considered cringey; like for example using the word cheugy to describe your friends outfit or something like that)
I once saw someone say that millennials reacted so negatively to not being young and cool anymore because by the time other generations were aging out of their youth, they had financial security and careers and stuff like that. Gen X didn't care that they got uncool bc they had houses and retirement savings
I feel like this is also behind the phenomenon of many Millennials going the other way entirely and declaring themselves “old” and “decrepit” the second they hit 30 - since we live in a gerontocracy where most of the property and power is being hoarded by senior citizens, there’s a desperation to get old and join that class as soon as possible
I think there's some legitimacy to that
That's such an accurate take
Yeah for 10+ years I felt like I was still 16 cause not much had changed, I didn't have a job and lived with my mom.
So yeah it is hard to think you're an adult when you're the 1st generation to have negative economic mobility and if you're a US minority it's even worse as it was never good to begin with yet somehow your great grandparents still owned a house :/

Millennials and Gen Z are the loterally the same.
In fact, Millennials and Gen Z are borrowing from Gen X.
Remember: Gen Z vs Millennials mostly exists primarily to sell us stuff. I fell victim to this myself when I had a little panic about my ripped skinny jeans being "cheugy" and I found myself purchasing a pair of baggy jeans with the knees cut out. Wear what you want, listen to what you want, know you are never immune to advertising.
I never thought about it that way, for me it made me realise how many different types of jeans there were because I refused to buy jeans for a while because skinny jeans never suited me
I'm not tryna disagree with you or smth just sharing my thoughts
I think Millennials are made fun of because we are aging and the new generation is now the cool kids, it will happen to them aswell in around 10 years. So chill.
i never understood that because as a gen z 21 year old i distinctly remember everyone back in middle and high school preferring skinny jeans as the ultimate jean type
but i guess its because it was back in the 2010s when those are all the rage for most of the decade
THIS! Having ADHD I have had to become way more self aware of advertising or even peer pressure because of being prone to making split-second decisions without thinking. Really now I think it's something everyone should be aware of because you don't realize how much you're actually being sold until you're consciously taking it into consideration.
At the end of the day no one really cares what type of jeans you wear or where your hair is parted, just wear what makes you most comfortable and live your life!

Same 😭😭
I feel bad that this is me, I’m gen z and dress grunge, but at least I took some things from the older gen I grew up with and I’m not entirely screwed 😂
Honestly that style is still kind of around. I'm genz but I still see people in my age bracket rocking the style. It's just not exactly saught after anymore.
Granted with my generation no style is really sought after. With the massive proliferation of the internet and the ability to see pretty much anything we are all on average pretty stylistically open, there isn't really as much of a standard "in style" anymore as opposed to an "in personality."
It's kinda funny how some of those 90s flavors have come back. Heck, I think I've even seen bellbottoms here and there.
I think, as the other commenter suggested, that some of these showings in clothes lately are more of an expression of individual self rather than following group trends, thanks to the sometimes paradoxical outcomes of internet social interaction.
same, i look back at pictures of me then and i cringe so hard.
i'm a gen z (16 right now) and i'm sick of seeing so many millennials online be like "oh kids and teens these days will never grow up with kingdom hearts and 2000s anime and a DS and blah blah blah" like i have an older brother who introduced me to that stuff at a pretty young age, what do you mean the newer generations can't or won't grow up with this stuff???
RIGHT I got to do all of those and im 18. I got to play with a fucking atari. Just cause you were born in a period doesnt mean all we have to use is the modern devices and shit

i cannot count the amount of millennials that are so shocked to find out that i, an 18 year old, had movies on tapes when i was a kid and know how to work a tape recorder. some people don’t have enough money to move with the times, Carly
i like to tell people that my family had a console tv until i was in 6th grade (i'm also 18)
like dude. not everyone was constantly getting the newest technology lmao, no one in my family has ever owned an iphone
THIS omg. the amount of millennials who do not believe that i, also currently 18:
- watched VHS tapes as a child
- used a portable CD player before i had a phone
- went to blockbuster regularly
- have used a landline before
- had a clock radio in my bedroom
- brought my gameboy to school on our “technology days” (which was, by the way, my mom’s when she was younger. don’t know why its so hard to believe that my mother kept a good gaming device and gave it to her daughter??)
i'm fourteen and i used to use vhs tapes to watch power rangers, i listened to christmas music on cassette tapes, i know how to read a clock (it will take me a minute though,) i can use a rotary phone and write cursive and all that shit. i grew up with old people technology. oh no.
im 14 and have tapes a floppy disc and MOUNTAINS of dvds
No but I’m 14 and watched tapes as a kid
I genuinely believe most of the youngest millennials and the oldest Gen z basically had the same childhood.
For sure. We had the best of the best and we raised with mainstreaming technology just as they did, due to that we had many things in common from just a understanding point. Also we had the good shows that weren’t just shovel ware for your spazz of a kid and game companies/companies in general that weren’t just their to make a quick buck like the new generation have today.
Perfectly put.
tbh that’s probably why there’s a lot of discourse over when the millennial era ended/gen z started. there’s tons of overlap, esp if you have siblings. i’m not even a younger millennial (born in 89), but my sisters born in 96 and even 2000 have similar childhood experiences to mine idk

Aside from the market being terrible it's even difficult to find a place to rent either an apartment or house. The owners of these places are most likely Baby Boomers who lived in that era where it was easy and cheap to build a place and rent it out, it was easy to find a high paying job because work was so readily available, industry was booming. I believe that generation is still living in that time period. Even then they are probably assuming the generation above us are the ones looking from home. That maybe true but it's us millennials are younger who are searching for a place to live and we can't afford it. Their response "well we just find someone who can."

@@fisrtnamelastname3083P sure they're talking about #adulting, where ppl would post about getting their first apartment and grocery shopping and stuff
I feel like it still has a use case, but it's just narrower. Like it's okay... for college students and people entering the workforce, setting out on their own for the first time.
Renting an apartment for the first time, getting your own health insurance, doing your taxes, etc.
I feel like during that introduction to adulting, that phrase can be used to encapsulate that new experience/level of self-reliance.
But once you're living independently and being in the workforce for a while, time is up. You shouldn't be 42 and posting "#adulting XP 😜" with a peace sign selfie while doing dishes. Stop it. For your own sakes as well as ours.
crazy that kurtis didn’t talk about how the generation after this one’ll be called generation beta. that’s so fucking sad dude
W H A T
Yeah, babies born 2024 or2025 (i think) and later will be betas, if I remember correctly. If I have kids they will probably be in that generation hehe..
@@malmfao cause it’s alphabetical originally but sometimes develops new names. for example: baby boomers are generation W but are called baby boomers because of the baby boom, gen x is just gen x and didn’t get a new name, gen Y is millennials bc they were born right before the new millennium, gen z are just gen z for now or some call us zoomers, etc. so obviously since that’s the end of the alphabet it needs to start over again at A and B eventually. and the automatic names for A and B are Alpha and Beta.
(also i believe the one before boomers is the silent generation which would technically be gen v)
Just another (ironic) reason to add to the list of why I don't want kids LMFAO 💀
The thing about her generations is, the parents and the kids are usually a generation apart.
Baby Boomers are parents to Millennials. Gen Xers are parents to Gen Z. Millennials are parents to Gen Alpha.
Meaning that Gen Z’s kids are gonna be the Betas 😭
(This is just average, so if you have a kid young or old, the generations won’t line up like that)

I do have to say, millennials make the best elementary school teachers.
One of my teachers in elementary school was a raging millennial and disney adult, and my whole class loved her. It was terrifying, looking back at it.
My second grade teacher had millennial vibes and she was a great second grade teacher. But, then she taught us in 7th grade too because of budget cuts and she was just pure cringe
Not elementary but my middle school chorus teacher was also a raging disney adult

as a spore born in 96, I’m in a weird transition between millennials and gen z, and all it’s done is make me realize that generations are fake and nothing is real.
I think us kids born in 96 should have our own generation. Being born in late November of 96, I feel like I really got the tail end of the generation. Don't really relate to most millennial to be honest.
Queenshroom, you nailed it. Honestly, the sooner everyone realizes this, the better off we’ll be. Its all for capitalism anyways, gen z treasure from boomer trash, millennial “cheungy” style (only learned the expression today really) is whatever the next gen after Z will consider high fashion revamped. It’s all a cycle.
94 and I feel the same way. I relate a lot to gen z but also millennials
Our year of odd transitioning generation stretches to I would say 92-98. Its being born just old enough to explore the internet uncensored is what put our hairs on our chest and our meme game God tier
Same I was born 97 and I can’t believe I’m Gen Z. Generations are a made up concept anyway
I’m gen z and I grew up with dvds, vhs tapes, cds, old computers, renting movies and other things that are considered a part of “millennial childhoods”. If baffles me that these people think we’re like 10 years old 😭
True, like I have owned tapes at some point too, I didn't had 24/7 internet access or a smartphone until quite recently either, millennials and gen Zs are not that different both of us are from a gen when the technology was in the developing stage, gen Alpha are the i pad gen with constant internet exposure since they were born.

It's also a class thing. If your family didn't have a lot of money you probably had an "older" childhood for your age, or experienced something entirely different.
Have a friend of mine that grew up the same way as you. He's actually the. coolest dude in our entire little group. lol
@@Cobalt985absolutely this. i think the jump from vhs to dvds is a good example of this. my family couldn’t afford a dvd player or dvds until they had become pretty ubiquitous and thus more affordable. and like…our collection of vhs tapes didn’t just suddenly disappear because a new format popped up? i don’t get why people act like this happens. same with cds and floppy disks. people were using floppy disks well into the cd era. i was using them pretty much up until they became obsolete, which was actually not that long ago.
The millennial joke that can most quickly bring me to the edge of committing a violent crime is when a grown-assed person refers to their day-to-day tasks in life as _"adulting"_

As a Gen Z'er, I've always generally felt that we've had a mutual sense of understanding with Millennials. We can kind of just look at the state of the world and then look at each other and go "yep," without having to explain ourselves.
We mostly do. I say this as a cusper: There's a weird disconnect between early millennials and late Gen Z, and those are the only ones who are actually preoccupied with this stuff.

I think the fact that a person has little to no context about Gen Z memes is what makes them so funny. They're bizarre, chaotic, and hardly make any sense, and I love that about them. They're like a fever dream.
very accurate. i am not on tiktok or most social medias tbh, and the gen z humor tiktok kurtis showed is absolutely incomprehensible to me. i have no clue what any of it means but it still makes me laugh every time i watch this video

nah that’s so funny cause we all just like automatically do these things like recognizing what’s funny n shit
Sponge bob ruined all your fuckin brains 😂 tbh weird flex
chaotic memes been a thing since before gen z but it used to be very niche. like deepfriedmemes subreddit. but gen z has embraced it as normal humor which is cool

I think your point about art becoming more confusing is really interesting. So Absurdist and Post Modern art came out after World War II when people were trying to deal with the horror and brutalism that they had witnessed around them. Especially making and escape that was both confusing to outsiders and brought them a sense of comfort. I kinda see a very similar thing happening with meme culture as we process our current world climate
was hoping to read some interesting replies regarding this but instead it's all just fucking BOTS
@laykeigh
We live in a society I guess
Interesting takes are cool but they won't generate you money. Welcome to capitalism baby. We only accept the system because other are (or seem to be) worse
brutalism is an architectural style, you mean brutality
Post postmodernism is also extremely interesting to me, like Turner's post-postmodernism is essentially just "fuck it everything and nothing is art" in a way
i think some of of post-wwii abstract art was also meant as a sort of protest because of the sheer amount of artistic censorship happening in germany (look up degenerate art/entartete kunst if you haven't heard of it, it's one of those bits of history that i find interesting)
I can't lie, growing up with an easily accessible internet as Gen Z was pretty scarring.

@@xythrial that is really dark, I hope you find somebody to talk to about that
I'm an older millennial, and I can honestly say the early 2000s did not feel real. I blinked and suddenly it was 2015.
I feel like my internal calendar stopped in 2014 but it's nearing 10 years since then.
Young millennial here, 2015 is when time stopped for me. From then on the years seem so vague.
If I ever start singing "I'm so proud to be a GenZ...", just kill me
That shit hurt to watch. I like Kurtis' description of "just a little bit wrong". The actual lyrics were kinda fun, in a dad joke way. Would have been better if she just did spoken word or something. But the song, the hand over heart, the bad filter and camera, oh dear God. Stop it, fellow millennials. We're not cool and it's okay. Take a page out of Gen X's book: sit back, relax, stfu and leave people alone. Occasionally scream at Gen Z to get off our lawn, but that's it lol
At least it will rhyme.
Me too please

As a gen Z i am not proud i would rather disassociate from everybody
Being born from 1999-2002 means you watch Millennial vs Zoomer discourse like its your parents bringing your name into the divorce arguments during dinner
Being born in 2000 I enjoy alot of the 90s entertainment but I wouldn't understand their tech much. Also idk if dude got popular in the 90s or not but I use that word alot. Dude and bruh.
no, literally
But they be so embarrassing it’s hard to defend them 😭😭
@JERKSIMULATOR I don't even have a Facebook or Instagram
I blame everything on mass-production and offshoring that really effed with millenials. Plus on the tech side: ppl like Steve Jobs and later Mark Zukerberg who started off with a 60s counter culture, "free, decentralized" internet ideals but then sold out for money
I feel like a lot of the cultural divide between millennials and gen z has come down to what social media app you've spent the most time on in the last 5+ years. I have millennial friends who spend a lot of time sharing posts on FB and millennial friends who spend a lot of time on tiktok and their senses of humor are VASTLY different. It kind of builds on/feeds itself, in a way, like it groups the same sort of personalities together and then pushes away people who are different. Really interesting to think about.
You’re def right but also the people you’re around. Being surrounded by people who care about those fb posts I’m sure plays into it. I’m a millennial but I’m surrounded by all age groups and if you looked at my fyp vs my bf’s they’re WAY different. I have someone putting a fake tongue on a drill and licking things while he has those “couple comedy” accounts.
i think its just white people who confuse being born at a certain time and date for having culture
It would be interesting to see an article or personality quiz about how the social media sites you use affect your beliefs and personality. Like a classic buzzfeed quiz, but based on actual data. I'm just curious to see what trends we would find if we actually researched it, because it sounds really interesting!

It's because for some reason you never see them coming, he's really good at spacing them just far enough apart to hit you with another one by surprise.

I’m a cusper and I remember in high school seeing the “only 90’s kids” stuff and being too young for it. I realized the people gatekeeping it/talking about less cool younger people’s childhoods were were in college already and that made me think how immature that mentality is. So I think millennials getting dunked on by the younger generation could be considered to be payback for that.
Edit: glad to see in the replies I’m not the only one who felt like this!
lmao same as someone born in the 2000s u rlly get confused man
i was born in 98 and i would always try SO HARD to include myself in the "only 90s kids" stuff but obviously, being 0 to 2 yrs old in the 90s doesnt include me in "90s kids"
Oh my god the whole "90s kid" thing has always annoyed me, I was born in 2000 and a lot of that stuff applies to the early 2000s too. Like I'm sorry but knowing what a VHS tape is does not make you special or unique 🤷🏼♀️
@@keithgm9574 SAME omg, I used to angry post on fb about how much I hated 'only 90s kids' memes when I was like 12
So fun fact, this trend can be traced back to Jeff Foxworthy's standup bit "you might be a redneck." He dropped his comedy album in the early 90s and that one line became a cultural earmark. You could not escape the mid-90s without hearing someone either quoting Foxworthy or making up their own version of the bit. In a very real way, comedians and comedy clubs kept people connected, and it was one of the earliest ways we had to spread memes. So this concept would be iterated upon nearly ad infinitum, expanding into the realm of visual medium once the internet really gained traction and new technology allowed us to create different types of art and share it with anyone anywhere. Eventually it evolved to broader applications that we came to see in listicle farms ("you're a real 1Der if you know these 10 facts," "if you grew up with [rural activities] you had a REAL childhood," "you're probably from [city/state/country] if," etc), culminating in what are now millions of facebook pages, jpegs stuffed full of references to one specific time or place or fandom, and insufferable posts that gatekeep experiences to specific generations as though we don't live in the era of Literally Everything Ever Available All The Time.

Gen z is not all children. they also need to grow tf up

@@sunshineramirez7766 yeah but then again gen z has… well the modern day… things are kinda fucked
@@seal8900 I think the counter to that is that Gen Z has grown up pretty much exclusively in a time when social media was a dominant force. I've seen a lot of videos breaking down some of the impacts of that reality (which are many) and one common thread is that Gen Z has aged/matured faster than previous generations. It's sort of the argument that "kids weren't able to just be kids" as long as in prior generations. It's the source of the meme about "me when I was 13 vs. 13 year olds now" as an example. I think in general that kids today start wearing make-up younger, start dating younger, etc.
There are positives and negatives to maturing younger and I think you can certainly argue against the conclusion, but it's interesting to consider the idea that people in the middle of the millennial generation and the middle of Gen Z are potentially closer in maturity than their ages would suggest. Creepy people abuse that notion as well, but I think it explains some of the weirdly strong reaction to perceived "bullying" by people much younger.
All of this from the perspective of a 1994 baby, like Kurtis.
Ninja Edit: I didn't consider this as I was writing my comment, but it might also stem from the fact that many inter-generational interactions happen through faceless media (comment sections like this one, etc) so it's harder to look at the person you're arguing with and say, "What am I doing? This is a literal child."

i rly don’t get why some millennials let themselves get beat up over this. why would u care what high schoolers think once ur out of high school? it doesn’t matter lol. i just need to make sure i remember that when gen z is older and generation alpha starts shitting on us
it got compounded with everyone shoved into each other's social circles online during lock downs. thats when this shit exploded. Its ridiculous all of it.
maybe I sound like a millennial now but I refuse to take shit from a generation named alpha
19-24 year olds are roughly the biggest influencers of popular culture and trends, and millennials just got pushed out of that age group in the last few years. It's a change for them
I’m on the cusp of millennial and Gen Z, so here’s my reason: Millennials have been getting shit on by Boomers and even Gen X all our/their lives, so for kids to come around and pick on us/them is like when your little sibling dogpiles on you while your parents and older siblings are giving you shit about how much you suck. Not to mention that Millennials were the first ones to grow up with internet in late adolescence AND weather so many global issues that still affect the world today. Millennials also laid their bodies down so Gen Z could make the final big push against Boomer bullshit. Without them sacrificing their mental health and being the unfortunate ground beef to clog up the thresher, Gen Z wouldn’t have enough precedent to actually push for big change. I don’t know, kids think that because they can talk a few mean words into a box, that they’re hot shit. They act like they’re so much more woke and progressive when they’re just as vapid and self centered as everyone else.
@Talyn has time It seems like they're less progressive. Go see if you can find the surveys on generations and sexism. Apparently gen z is more sexist than millennials. More likely to agree with statements like "Leadership doesn't suit women" or that women should prioritize their families at home and shit like that.
So it seems like it's just getting worse.
The biggest difference is that Gen-Z does cringe stuff too, but most of the time you can tell they are in on the joke.

You worded this perfectly. I’ve explained it to people this way before as well. It’s an interesting phenomenon lol
I was born in 99 but younger gen z confused me understand millennials more than gen z
The pop culture of both generations is heavily internet based. I've found that the way I relate to people is more based on when we started going online than our actual age
no fr, i guess im classified as “older gen z” and i don’t keep up with what’s current the way my friends do. im always behind on trends and im ok with that, but it is a little alienating sometimes. also as someone who is autistic, gen z humor can be difficult to keep up with bc of all the layers of irony (which i love, but just don’t always understand)
so bc of that i sometimes feel part millennial or something. i was also friends with a lot of millennials when i was in high school so maybe that’s part of it

Honestly both millennial and gen Z humor can be summed up as a coping mechanism, both are ways our generations cope with the stresses of living in the modern age. One is more a deflection of the issues, and the other is embracing the issues with open arms and then strangling it to death. Neither are probably healthy

I wish I could go back to the late 2010s and smack some fashion sense into myself. Before 2015, my mom was buying my clothes, so I was just gonna look ugly regardless. But 2016-2017 was like a drunken shopping trip at Walmart
I think categorizing ages based on the years you were born in general is weird. cause a millennial born in 1981 vs a millennial born in 1996 is a pretty big difference in age and behavior. a lot can happen in 15 years. so I just think it is weird. idk
As someone born in '96 with an oldest sibling born in '82, can confirm we are very different and didn't have many overlapping childhood experiences
Yea, I was born in 96 and relate way more to the gen z stereotype. I don't remember 9/11, 2008 financial crisis, dial up internet, and a lot of other stuff that is stereotypically a "millennial experience."
We’re zillennial guys don’t listen to pew research crap.
People born in 96 literally were in school with 95-00 their whole lives it’s it’s so weird and then some of us graduated with 97 that considered gen z doesn’t make sense but we know we’re in the middle!
@@tempidea dude you don’t remember the 2008 recession? I was born 97 and that was a formative part of my life lol.
@@Mutoshishou no, because I was only 12 and already growing up poor. Nothing changed for me. It wasn't this big moment of change in my life, so I don't remember it.
as someone who wears skinny jeans and parts my hair to the side, literally nobody cares about the way I dress. Its not like anyone will rip the hot topic jeans out of my hands because they aren't cool enough anymore. they're still in stock, people are still buying them, so that godawful God bless the USA cover was totally unnecessary.
also that style is still awesome (once again a 100% rational and valid point from analicia)
right like millenials act like we are gonna force them to have a middle part. We really dont care, its just poking fun, but then cringey millenials take it super personally 💀
@@c.a.r.o Fr im gen z, I do skinny jeans because they fit me, and a lot of people at my school wear skinny jeans
i have side-parted bangs and skinny jeans. nobody's bothered by it.
@@c.a.r.o literally! I'm a millennial and i've been known to rock a middle part too sometimes. it just depends on what I'm feeling or however my hair behaves that day lol. it's not the end of the world
As a Millennial, I associate some of that emblematic "cheugy" stuff with older generations. Like, my mom is part of Gen X and some of her interior decorations get dangerously close to "Live, Laugh, Love" signs. Minion memes are also something I've always associated with people who were at least over 40 who use Facebook, not Millennials.
Millennial really just means 'anyone older than me' or 'anyone younger than me' depending on your persuasion
I always thought minion memes were for anyone above 50 who has gotten to the point of just being jaded to the point of annoyance to others
Honestly yeah. Apart from weird cringy people of FB and Tiktok millennials and Gen Z are practically the same. The real cringe generations are Boomers and Gen X. Stay Strange (and strong ig) fellow cool generations

@ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛɴᴇʏ ᴡʜɪᴛᴍᴏʀᴇ Oh goddd... that was awful! "Rawr means I Love You in dinosaur" Bleh.
I’d say millennial humor took the boomer humor of “I hate my wife” and turned it into “I hate myself.”
They created the type of humour and gen z took it from there and made it worst lol,
Kinda just shifted it from “haha I hate myself” to “haha I’m so mentally I’ll but who cares”
_Character development!_
@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop you say made it worst but all we did was have more then the 1 punchline like we get it "ahahah im going to kill myself" shit got boring when we where 12 so ofc we had to change it so it could atually be funny
@@thedarkd6 Yes of course, that is how humor naturally develops over time. In 10 years the next generation will improve on your humor.
@@thedarkd6 I hear that joke all the time from gen z tho? just like "haha time for a vacation to the mental hospital" its hardly different, we just want to draw lines between us both making jokes about mental health issues. Its all pretty damn unhealthy so I can only hope the next humor wave pulls away from "lmao kill me" jokes that both z/millennial like so much
I was born in ‘94 and the way that you described your childhood was so spot on. I had the jellyfish jelly episode on my video now.
as a zoomer i can't imagine how cringy our generation will look like in the future.
It’s a 50/50, it’s either gonna be cringe or going to be admired since the next generation doesn’t look any better then what we are.
You called yourself a zoomer so we’re already doomed
As a millennial... about as cringy as we are now. There are a LOT of similarities between Millennials and Zoomers, honestly.
All people have cringy moments in all ages and generations, you just didn’t see it back than because older generations didn’t have the internet to document it like millennials and gen Z do.
@@lucykatcher4293 what
one thing i’ve noticed about millennial humour is if revolves heavily in facial expressions and hyperbole, like you could probably get the punchline to a joke with the sound off just based off the camera zooms and over exaggerated expressions
definitely an influence from the office, jim energy for sure
It's not just millennials though. The whole wojack phenomena, Dean Norris's face, and then all kinds of other stuff is incorporated into Gen Z humor, it's just more abstract and there's so many layers that you would have to be cripplingly chronically online to understand all of this shit -- which you should strive not to be.
I think of millennial humor as more light and almost innocent, probably because we seen some shit and just want to block it out. I find gen z humor to be almost grittier somehow. Also maybe because we were so influenced by Disney Channel and Nickelodeon rather than memes and internet culture.
Lol
Yeah, that sounds about right, gen z humor revolves around randomness, I’ve seen so many tiktoks where something is happening and the camera turns around and it’s something very random, or a random sound or phrase happens, I like both types of humor tbh
The millennials that participated in that “feud” with genz are top tier cringe and need to be disowned.
as would anyone who draws battle lines over "generations"
as a gen z, young people who get into those fights are also annoying
@@kianaamarnani5232 tbf (also gen z) its less cringe bc the gen z ppl doing that are like. 14, and not in their 30s yk

For gen Z it’s definitely the fishnets and massive hoop earrings with the slick back ponytails that made you look bald… horrendous 😀
U just described a fire fit
Being born on the cusp with a sibling 9 years older than me has left me able to relate too much to both Millenial and Gen Z culture. Every generation argument is an identity crisis 😌
Felt that, I'm a middle gen-z kid, but all my siblings and a lot of my friends are at least a decade older than me. These types of videos give me identity crises because I feel like I have a foot on each side lmao
same here! my older brother is a millennial and i’m a Gen z and it’s crazy cuz i used to def wanna be a mini millennial when i was younger.
meeee. i'm a 97er with a brother born in 86 and basically grew up with all the media and games that he grew up with since i spent most of my childhood in his room. for years i refused to identify as anything other than a millennial, even though it's so silly. :D
I refer to is as "Generational Limbo"
Ikr. I was born in 200. All the time I see millennials saying “Look at this, a (random gadget or snack), you Gen Zs probably have no idea what this is”
and I’m like…… what.. I still have one of those….. you think we’re all toddlers?
"You my friend have just won the internet" puts me into a cringe coma every time
i always imagine a redditor saying this ive never heard a millenial anywhere else say that
Do not kill the part of you that is cringe,
kill the part that cringes.

Tik Tok boys/girls will be the gen Z equivalent to Tumblr girls/boys in the near future. We will look back at the terrible dances and the middle part hair, and cringe so hard at our lack of self awareness that we won't be able to sleep at night, just like millennials do. MARK MY WORDS
Yo the tumblr kids are coming back
You don't need to wait to look back to see the cringe, it is already obvious
We already cringe at the fashion choices of tik tok users
(I don’t use tik tok but I’m part of the same generation)
Honestly those who make jokes about tiktokers and go as far as too harasss children are far more cringe than the tiktokers themselves. They're just making content they like. And I can name a million youtubers worse than tiktokers rn.
naaaah tumblr kids were cooler than tiktok kids now. coming from a gen z lol

On the hobbies thing as a Gen Z'er: I feel like hobbies "done right" is j you enjoying your hobby but not making it a whole personality and not like trying to gatekeep it which it feels like the millennials in those vids were doing

I feel like millennials and gen Z are very similar, and are a lot nicer than your older generations. I lot of people think we’re stupid and make dumb stereotypes, but I love seeing how society has evolved to be less divisive. It feels like each generation has tried to do things better. Millennials and gen Z also get along because both are targets of the whole “YOU GET EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU, YOU CRYBABIES NEED TO GET BEATEN” arguments from older generations, and we’re each seeing right through that and trying to be better
gen z is millennials with better eyeliner and tiktok
this is true, as a GenX i can attest that every younger generation has gotten less racist, and more conscious about the environment, and less about the nuclear armageddon and stuff

The way that 2 years later Gen z would meet Gen Alpha and absolutely become the new millennials for anyone born after 2012 is CRAZY
I was born in this weird environment where friends were Gen Z, the internet was still Millennial oriented, parents were Gen X and grandparents were a little older than Boomers. I got a little bit of everything and I've come to the conclusion that generations create these arbitrary boundaries that people take too seriously. I feel like no matter how much you hate someone, you're bound to agree with them on at least one thing. Generations just cause people to get uselessly angry at something that ultimately will never matter.
Also completely unrelated sidenote but my dad said Kurtis has a great mustache lol
YES !!
I agree. Generations are meant to be used in broad terms, but many people treat them like Zodiac signs. People even take the cut-offs dates way too seriously, and lose it if you bring up that people born around cut-offs may be wildly different depending on their upbringing. Not to mention other factors like class or where you're from.
You’re right honestly 💯 because there’s even kids who are born in between two generations and I’m one of those people so it is weird when people try and act as if everyone is just a part of one generation when not everyone is like that.
Same
I agree with your dad
Dude I find it so funny how each generation hates on each other, like they were so much cooler or better... We were all cringey dumbasses at one point, we just did it in different ways. Like for example I'm 17 (Gen Z) and I used to wear a fedora into school and dab ironically (because I thought it was stupid) but I did it so much it eventually became unironic! We were all cringe just none of us want to admit it!
I agree however I feel like there isnt much hatred towards other generations or beef outside of gen z and millennials because I feel like sometimes millennials act like there so much better than gen z making fun of them for all sorts of stuff (this is a smaller group of people but they are the ones who post it online) and then it only makes gen z not like them very much
@@dannyadams17 exactly
i enjoy seeing millenials get bullied a little, because millenials were rude af back in the day on tumblr and other socials medias because they were the main demographic at the time, so whenever genz would just exist online we'd get made fun of or get told that 'only 90s kids remember' (often not true lmao), and if we didnt understand something (because we were kids lol) 'what are you, like 12? get off the internet buddy'. but other than that I honestly don't get the generational divide, because we both grew up with mostly the same stuff, especially if you (like me and many more) grew up poor. I also had a flip phone for most of my life and watched dvds, etc. generation alpha is the generation we should be scared of, genuinely. like these kids have no social skills, empathy and are chronically online from the moment they're born.
@@miminaomi9844 the only reason i ever got a “smart”phone (some cheap thing from verizon that the salesman convinced my mom was better than an iphone in terms of data usage) was bc they stopped making flip/slide phones. i had my slide until 2014 when it broke
@Danny Adams Anyone spending time on TikTok to dunk on people born after themselves is an idiot. I have never been prouder of generations that came after. It looks like ya'll are trying to be better than us _and it's a good thing!_ (as a millennial) TikToks full of horrible people anyway. The rare gems on there aren't worth using that app.
im an older gen z and my sisters a younger millennial and i completely agree that we have the same hobbies, we watched a lot of similar media as a kid, etc. by FAR the main difference between us is our use of social media
even in 2022 she'll send me a meme she found on facebook and its a text post i read when it was first posted on tumblr in 2011
I honestly think that more depends on the person. I am a millenial and I uninstalled facebook very long ago. However I do use reddit which is pretty millenial. I use tiktok as well though. I think more then anything gen z vs millenial war is more just normies vs not normies, different groups of people into different things.
she probably sent it ironically
As a Tumblr user since around 2011, it always pains me when I see a whole text post screenshot and posted on Pinterest or something. On the other hand it’s fun to finally be “cool before it was cool”, I guess?
It does depend. I'll be 29 in a few months so I'm a young millennial. I'm pretty unusual for my generation too though, I don't like social media. I don't care who ate what for breakfast and I don't care about their selfies. If I wanna talk or hang with someone I send 'em a text.
My humor is also based on context and circumstance. My gen Z BF at 23 is way different. His humor and memes are totally random, he can laugh at things that don't have context to them, memes that are just made to be purposely ridiculous.
But in terms of hobbies and likes we're more similar.
Well yeah "older gen z" and "younger millennial" doesn't mean there's like some huge culture shift just based on a couple years. Don't let these silly generational labels define you or anyone else :)
I think the only thing with fashion that you neglected to mention was emo and scene kids. HOW COULD WE FORGET THE ICONIC MYSPACE ERA
Was I the only 1996 z-lennial that looked up “how to be an indie girl” and actually took the wiki how article seriously? I had an all grey outfit in high school. I thought it was cool to shit on people for listening to Taylor swift. I bought fake mustaches from a quarter machine at a Chinese buffet. I’m confessing my sins right now.

People born from like 1997 to 2000 have this weird thing where we are gen z on paper, but up until like 2016 I was told I was gen y, I don't think it was properly categorised until recently. Also, most of us feel like we don't belong to millennials or gen z. Like we grew up with the offcuts of 90s culture and tbh I feel like my childhood was wildly different from younger gen z.
