Watch me react to my own cringe "millennial-core" TikToks on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/FunkyFrogBait
Alright so I was born in August 2000 so.... don't know which I am am I a millennial or the thing after it and somehow my boomer single parent, raise me to have common sense and I'm not on tiktok or anything that I don't know popular? or something? I don't f-ing know what to call it okay.... I truly don't know what going on. But I love funky frog bait, so I'm here .

@@AKHV9708yes
I am a millennial, but even im cringing and so confused. this feels like they are trying to relate to the youngster like the buscemi meme
This isn’t a generational issue.. it’s a desperate-for-attention issue.. and that issue is timeless.
TIMELESS!!! The desperation is too strong
Nah, it's a generational issue. I'm a millennial and my sister is Gen Z (12 year difference) and even though I do not post anything on TikTok and am altogether a person who avoids the limelight, she still finds me incredibly cringey, and I find her cringey as well.
@@lotanowo For sure there are generational differences, my nephew makes fun of a lot of things I do and grew up with. But as a whole we both find this type of content extremely cringey. Everyone goes through cringey phases in life, but most of us "grow up". A lot of these clips are harmless, but easy to make fun of. Not arguing, just saying it's probably more a mix of both.
@@lotanowo I'm gen z (2005) and I'm NOTHING like the other weirdos
yall people encourage that shit too😒
*"This person is 27."*
I've never felt more seriousness in a sentence before.
😂
That one was physically painful to watch.
@@Bl1ndG1rland mentally
Never in my life have I experienced so much shock
As someone who is 27 - Nope, no, never. Please do not associate me with....That
tell me why "this person is 27" is the most brutal takedown i've seen all year
36 yr old here, this is taking me back to high school for sure when people thought being loud and clumsy was a personality. Hated it then, hated it now.
Same!
i used to be rlly loud and im clumsy cuz of adhd and due to people tihnking it was me being quirky they harrassed me even tho i genuinely just have adhd. So both sides are in the wrong here and hating on adults for being childish in some cases can be ableist. I now have rlyl bad social anxiety and feel like im not allowed to be myself anymore or talk
The "quirky" and "I'm not like other girls" era is so cringe. As soon as those fake glasses and mustache on everything came out, it was all over.
I hate the fact that being a zillenial means I get to experience the cringe of both generations
Nope little Z. Thats not how it works.
@@Bl00dyMaryit is tho
not a thing, on the whatever year you’re born is your generation
@Bl00dyMary Zillwnials exist because of the ambiguity of generations dumbass. It was 1995 then 2000
Get me out of this hell
I’m a 30yo millennial and can’t stand the performative ‘quirky’ personalities or the millennials that try to beef with gen z. Why can’t we just commiserate over the fact that we’re all wage slaves and none of us will ever be homeowners?
so true haha, just accept that Tiktok is something that is for gen Z and Limewire was our milennial thing or something :P
the last sentence cut me like a knife
It is so strange.
The world won't even be habitable for either generation to reach old age, but sure, go off on people making cringe content they make money from.
@@TheMankrikscow we'll just ignore the previous iterations of tiktok.
Vines not LimeWire, two very different things.
Perhaps the creators and advertisers should have done a better job of stipulating they had created an app designed for a specific generation?
It is incredible when people gatekeep things like apps.
The worst thing about these cringy millennials is that they are doing this at 30+ years old.
"at 28 yo you shouldn't need the peolpe round you to childproof your environment"
This sentence made me laugh so hard bc as an architecture student you learn pretty early on that yes, you do in fact need to childproof adults' environments too.
I never thought of it but yeah most safety precautions could be considered adult childproofing huh
That Steven Universe joke was a swift and brutal knife to my heart. It also made me burst into laughter that was so loud that it woke up my grandmother, who was sleeping in her grave.
Real millenial humor is looking at your coworker and going "wouldn't it be great if the building suddenly caught fire?" And them nodding and sighing wistfully.
millennial humor is to look over a railing and wondering if the drop would be long enough.
Millennial humor is staring listlessly into the camera as your Boomer mother starts tearing your younger gen z sister a new asshole for coughing too loudly and longing for the end.
Millennial humor:
Coworker: "What do we do when x happens?"
Me: "Oh, Dave, that's later. Maybe we'll be dead by then."
Dave: *sigh* "That'd be really nice."
Millennial humor is dressing as the inflation for halloween.
@@danicasoper6545that 30 Rock reference
As a 34 year old millenial I remember these types of people and how they behaved in High School and I assure you.....they were SO MUCH WORSE.
Glad I’m not the only one who knows exactly what they were like.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
yeah i remember a few. They were insufferable then and they're insufferable now.
Like the girls that said “erhmagerrrd” and “rawr” and it was a whole personality trait.
MySpace vibes. Just less skunk striped hair and eyeliner.
I don’t think I’m a masochist and yet I constantly rewatch this, even though I have to put my phone face down on the bed and hum loudly during half of the millennialcore TikTok’s.
Same here 🖐🏼
I DO THAT SAME THING. Or I’ll say out loud “shut up” to banish the second hand embarrassment
As a gen alpha who has parents like this, I'm shocked about the amount of exaggeration each millennial puts into the video without pausing and saying, "What is going on? What am I doing??" It's fine if you don't be total serious but don't go to an extreme where people are taking cover, cringing, staring, pointing, and laughing at you, even on the screen. You guys are not 5 year old kids, yall are 43-28(yes I got this from google shush), leave the cringeness to the non understanding children playing with their barbies while their dad is screaming because of Basketball, most of you guys have kids and/or jobs, act like it.
Most mature gen alpha 👏👏
As a gen z, I’m just tired of the jokes that “gen z doesn’t know this old technology!” Yes.. yes I do. I know what a cassette tape is, I know what a VHS is (Hell, I used to have one), I know what a VCR is, I know what a landline phone is- etc. I grew up with CDs and millennial siblings+gen x parents. I’m not stupid, I know and remember clearly what life was like before smartphones.
I remember that clip of Ellen making a girl FOLD A MAP, as if it's a universal "old people thing"? While I handled maps a bunch of times, I know that I would probably struggle with folding it - not because of a "lack of expierience", but because it's an annoying and frustrating task. It's the same with a lot of old (or even new) technology.
It's especially funny with people using flip phones as examples of archaic tech, as if modern phones don't try to mimick them? It's laughable.
@@thecolourfulpill YES and also why is there this obsession with using old tech?
There are cusp generations, where you have one foot in both worlds, I'm an elder Millennial.....a Xennial, raised by boomers who are on the cusp of Gen X. I feel I can identify more closely with Gen X than the Millenials that came later on. I hate all of you. Let's just put it that way.
@@bipride1763 Listen to something on vinyl, you'll understand.
I think most of the jokes are about how you guys can’t do things, like tell time, read, drive a car… stuff like that.
It's like they are disney characters, if that makes sense? The exaggerated expressions, the noises, the wild movements- it all screams Disney.
True. I was thinking anime characters but same concept.
@@ville__ didn't ask you either buddy
Finished the video, I don't think I've ever seen you break 'final bit character' as I've taken to calling it.
Spooky Spooky hair-cut 🤪👻🤪👻
Most of them would have Disney plus
I clicked on this video to be amused but instead got an existential crisis because that part about what being 27 is like just felt way too real (I'm 27)
as someone who watches nightmare before Christmas religiously I’d like to apologize for the bad cover for this is halloween or spooky haircut
Im tired of us trying to separate it into this generation against that generation. Everyone is weird and cringy in all generations.
@@ville__Be quiet
@@ville__bot lmao also who asked
@@ville__no they didn’t, bot. Delete yourself.
@@ville__ lol bot
I learnt at school, that one of the reason we got seperated it's because of how many babies were made (baby boomers) and not how cringe we are. generation gap is also referred to being out of touch with the rest of the world (like the video in which old hags guess american house prices). we all fully agree with your core opinion, unfortunatelly it's not about how cringy we humans are - it's about social construct the government made and accidentally made.
it’s wild that anyone in their 30s finds fighting with teens online a dignified thing to do
Because they’re all teenagers…. Yet if you treat genz as only teenagers, then it’s “you know we’re not all teenagers, right?”
*Apparently, no one understands sarcasm. Not surprising.
@@Ruviebgirl what is your argument 😭
@@cyberiaarts Being genz does not automatically mean teenager. Plenty are adults, yet every time one of these discussions come up or genz is criticized for something, “you’re arguing with 14 year olds” is always the easy response to cut down any argument. At the same time, millennials are also accused of treating gen zers like they’re all children. There’s no winning.
As a 37 year old millennial I 100% agree. It’s so cringe.
Let me just say... it was not a Millennial thing.
But right now, it is. 🫡
Like I literally have dyspraxia and so my hands tweak out and I throw/drop stuff but oh my god there’s no way she’s actually dropping that stuff like that.
I'm a part of Gen Z, and I would like to say that I love some aspects of Gen X and millennial culture and/or pop culture. But I have gotten to the point where I would never say those kinds of things because of the mockery I have faced for the timeline of my birth.
Every single generation has cringe. And I hate when people dunk on each other when the ruling class is right there watching us fight
A-FUCKEN-MEN
Word
RIGHTT
Cringe doesn’t exist. Harmless fun is harmless fun and it’s only when something becomes truly harmful that it should be looked at with scrutiny.
Why dunk on some lady happy about cream cheese when Elon is right there?
i think the reason those millennial tiktoks are cringe is not necessarily bc of their mannerisms or the way they act but bc it’s so clear that they’re only doing it for their content and don’t actually act like that irl. i think the cringe factor comes from the fact that it’s just disingenuous
THANKYOU FOR SAYING THIS!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
my step mom actually acts like that in person shes a couple years away from being a millennial but still...
@@sleepybaby8218 i mean if that’s the case she’s an exception and i respect that
@@hotgrrrl4206 it's the worst thing but I don't dare to ruin her fun 😭
funny, normally cringe comes from being extremely genuine
SO MANY SENSORY ISSUES I’M CRYINGGGG 😭 ILY THOUGHHHH
10:24 tbh this girl is why I don’t go outside- I can’t pay for the hospital bills and I doubt this ‘28 year old toddler’ will pay for it either
As a millennial, the “omg I’m so random XD” humour was very popular when I was in high school. Most millennials (that I know) grew out of this but clearly some did not.
What’s funny is, this was still humor when I, a 16 year old, was in school. Not much changed throughout those years and it’s funny to see people claiming otherwise. When I was younger, I also liked big mustaches and saying XD.. it’s confusing and my head hurts 😭
as a gen z that’s how i was in middle school lmao
@@ville__yo whyd you just copy and paste their comment bru

@@ville__ YOUR AVATAR SAYS "GRAPE" BUT WITHOUT THE "G"? And your content is all about assaulting women. No wonder women stay away from you, good for them! Really fucking funny to see everyone tearing you a new asshole in your comments though, baby boy. At least I'm not the only one that hates misogynist incel trash.
As a 30 year old woman I’d like to apologize on behalf of millennials everywhere for this behavior
hi loey! you shouldn't have to apologize this is just childish
@@Javajunkiexx6shut your trap millie!
OMG ILY
LOEY???
Honestly! Same I'm raising 3 kids who even has time for this?
As someone born in 1999 with boomer parents I also feel this sense of being awkwardly stuck in the middle of millenials and Gen Z, sometimes agreeing with both and sometimes cringing at both. Having used a landline, dial-up and a VHS as a child and a smartphone and streaming services as a teen/young adult. Downloading music from Limewire to burn onto a CD or put on my mp3 and then later on switching to Spotify. So yeah, when I see millennials trying to roast Gen Z by saying we don't get old technology I just roll my eyes. I do the same when I see the younger Gen Z describing some other stuff as ancient and wondering how the hell we 'survived' back then.
So yeah, I feel like it's so dumb to see generations fighting each other
As a frog you got me with the username. Also quite funky
good choice of avatar
The fact that the 28 year old toddler blames the material on her throwing it at people is insane to me.
i was checking her account and she has elher danos syndrome so
@@perksofbeingadeadpoethow is that relevant?
Edit to say: I have been educated on EDS, thank you to the people who helped me have a different perspective on the situation!
@@perksofbeingadeadpoetI’m sorry but do you mind explaining that? I don’t know what that is and I would like to understand
@@spookysailorscout It's a disabilty that affects your balance and handstrength, i.e.; not being able to hold things and sometimes bumping into things. It's uncontrollable, and what she described is pretty standard for the people with EDS.
@@spookysailorscoutdepending on what type you have (there are many) it can mess with your nerves and muscles, resulting in things like spasms. As someone who also suffers from EDS, My hand sometimes spasms and twitches while my fingers loosen, and that usually results in something being thrown (not very far, and it looks more like I'm just clumsy, but for other people the movement can be a lot more violent and thus things go further). Typically it's something small like my phone, so if it does go in the direction of another person it's usually not serious, but there was one time it happened with a coke in McDonald's and it landed directly on a small child stood next to me at the pickup area.
Point is some types of EDS can result in the throwing issue, so that's why the other person mentioned it. The girl is definitely playing it up on her profile though for the sake of the video.
y'know i really hate when people try to make being overtly "clumsy" a quirky cute personality trait when in real life it's usually due to physical disability and it's really embarrassing
I mean, sure, but who are we to say a very clumsy person can't turn their source of embarrassment into a joke. I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard a crash followed by "something fell!" when my very clumsy husband has fumbled something.
Thank you😂!!! My 'clumsiness' is a symptom of my autism that no one ever really took seriously. I've sprained my wrist and ankle, broken my left wrist n thumb and have unknown cuts and bruises every day. It sucked being made fun of for it, now it's a trendy cute thing
HAPPY ALSO MAKES ME UNHAPPY 😭 that one and blurred lines- big no no for me
@@Narangarath I mean yeah, but constantly doing it on purpose for humor instead of just laughing at it when it happens naturally feels a bit weird?
Idk, im a naturally clumsy person myself and i like to laugh at my fuck ups, but i cringe seeing people go overboard with it because it's "quirky"
I have dyapraxia which is what they're mimicking to look "cute."
Sure sometimes it's funny but most of the time it's embarrassing and frustrating. I have trouble holding my phone without dropping it. I've broken it the first day I got it SEVERAL TIMES before I started buying overpriced otter boxes in store and phones got tougher.
Actually having dyspraxia isn't fun. I can laugh at the time I accidently hit my dad in the face with pasta because my hand involuntarily let go as I was lifting it up, but that doesn't make up for the expensive, pain, and embarrassment it also causes.
Millennial here. Born in 1990. Raised by two awsome Gen X parents and grandparents from the Silent Generation who loved and supported me. I wasn't a theatre kid. I was jock.
Somethings I learned, respect authority but don't bootlick. You are responsible for your actions. Never assusme you are better than others regardless of profession and never assume you are above any kind of work.
The culture I was in was alot of rock music, heavy metal, country, cop shows and Scorsese flicks. 😅
My brother is a part of gen alpha and he flips out if he doesn’t get screen time. When me and my sister were his age we didn’t get nearly as much screen time as he does.
I enjoy being born at the point where I'm too young to truly relate with millenials and too old to be a "fellow kid" with the zoomers. So it's just sitting here and watching the world crumble apart.
I was born in 2002, so I’m also stuck in the middle.
I don’t get the slang and I also don’t like Starbucks.
What a cruel fate this is.
Have fun with that bestie
Hehe, ye
I'm a 2000s baby so I'm in the same boat. I'm also a weirdo who's not really on any social media (besides youtube) so a lot of both gen z and millenial stuff goes over my head
Edit: Upon watching this I'm also realizing I have completely lost the ability to tell if content on the internet is serious or satire
I’m also in that weird gap, but my younger sister is firmly a gen z. Every word I say around her is embarrassing. My work also employs quite a few teens. Every day I feel more and more “hello fellow kids” when I’m talking to them. It’s mortifying. They get younger every year, yet I age seemingly at light speed
As a millennial, I'm genuinely confused. I've never met a millennial like this. I'm convinced these people only exist online.
I also came to say this.
Not one single person I interact with act like this.
Almost 37 here. 👋
I would literally disown my friends if they acted this way. Same goes for if they tried to start making TikTok’s or being “influencers”. My kids (14 & 16) don’t even do TT trends or dances. However my oldest rags me abt millennial core all the time even tho I don’t actually act like that nor would I ever. 😂
@@rileynataliesame!! 39 and these are the type of people that make me physically ill. The look at me energy just sickens me. My kids act like every move I make is humiliating but I would gladly permanently remove myself from public if I ever behaved like any one of these people.
legit, if you want milenial humour it's in vines compilations, not on milinial influencer's tiktok account. These make me cringe so hard, but nothing cracks me up more than "two dudes chilling in a hot tub..."
I’m 29 and haven’t seen anyone my age IRL act like this.
As a gen alpha I watched all my cartoons and movies in VHS or CDs, I played with those cheap makeup kits and wore those plastic crowns that had one solid color and a Disney princess sticker in the middle.
Kid, you are great! There may be hope for humanity yet. I am just so damn happy to see there are still some of the younger generation with some wit and intelligence. Thank you so much for the laughs and the hope.
I love how you pointed out that the behavior millennials(at least the ones in the videos) stereotype to gen z isn't ACTUALLY gen z... its gen alpha, the kids they are supposed to be raising. not saying that some younger side of gen z don't act like this or that all gen alpha act this way.
EXACTLY
The whole generation thing is a weird concept to begin with when people take it so litteral, but.... people named a generation alpha.... alright, i officially decline this while "grouping people by their age" trend, it says alot about the people partaking in this mess
Yeah exactly this
@@afghdkfekjk1509the only reason its called alpha is because its the first letter of the greek alphabet, since we already got to Z 😂
yeah and the idea gen z has that all millenials talk like this shows how terminally online they are
Thank you for calling out both sides about the horrible inter-generational hate. We should be working together, not tryna fight about who is worse/has it worse. It's especially ironic remembering what it was like being a millennial and having everyone hate us as children for literally nothing, yet now there's millennial's doing the same shit to gen z kids????
For real. I’m Gen Z. If I have beef with millennials, it’s only because they don’t acknowledge us also suffering under capitalism. Especially if you are disabled (as I am). Like…why you fighting me?? I literally can’t even work and pose no threat. Fight the people fucking up the world.
I hate seeing millenials dunk on gen z. Like yeah, ok, kids can be frustrating to deal with as an adult. I get it. But maybe just maybe don't...be like this. It makes me smh cuz like, did we collectively forget how it felt to be dunked on by boomers growing up? Are we really going to perpetuate that cycle? Come on.
Lol my math teacher said kids these days when he's literally apart of the problem. He also doesn't do shit about bullying but he called me selfish and rude.
For real. How are kids gonna behave or learn anything when the adults around them are often heartless just because of age and teen stereotypes? Like my old HS, just a few years ago, literally did nada about bullying, often ignored legal disability accommodations, and even sabotaged SA case evidence. (I'm not even kidding. This was the "America to Me" documentary school.)
Kids are seeing the world burn at the hands of adults who could care less about them or their futures (ruling class), and are then regarded in their personal lives by dictatorial rules that serve little to no purpose but to "keep things how they are" by adults also suffering and not getting much help, so of COURSE they act out and are hopeless! Everyone is feeling miserable and instead of trying to fix it, people shut down ideas and make others miserable, especially aimed at kids. @@mexicancandytastegood2716
Also, the algorithm might pitch us the one we're mad about (ie our own "generation" getting clowned on) on purpose. I see way more videos shitting on millenials than gen z, and I'm a millenial. They're tryna make me boom, and I refuse.
I wanted to have my hackles up about this, but you’re so fair and balanced.
Old millennial here: I cringe at this, too, and I am befuddled by it.
I do think the "childish humor" can also be a symptom of being forced to grow up too fast with the combination of early unchecked internet usage and becoming adults in the worst economic circumstances ever.
Yeah it feels like a coping mechanism tbh
That was my thought as well. I'm a millennial and because of how much things have changed in such a short time, how fast it felt we grew up, and how difficult it is to actually be an adult, I often still feel stuck or stunted. I've been leaning more towards the "adult" side of things lately (I'm very excited about my new fridge for instance) but I also still get way too excited about little things that are nostalgic (like finding a copy for an old care bears movie I used to love as a kid at 5 below). Yes, those videos were cringey because they're over the top, but I'm also aware that I do some cringey over the top stuff as well (yes, I was a theater kid as well, so may be connected to that too lol).
@Eet_Mia lol fair. I didn't mean the nostalgia itself was cringe. I don't squeal, but I do find myself making strange, but excited noises. It's usually not something I give any thought to it just happens. Most of the people in the video seem very aware of what they're doing though which I think is what makes iglt *more* cringe.
gen z went through the same thing
It's definitely a flavor of regression, you're probably right.
As a millennial, I had no idea this kind of humor would be fun to any millennial.
Ditto…
Exactly what I was thinking.
For real. It's more a case of Tiktok isn't real life and people will do anything for likes/views even if it means embarassing themselves. Like, I can be a cringy weirdo, but not in public lol
Yup. There are ppl like this in every generation, unfortunately. This is definitely not "millennial humor". This is annoying to everyone.
It's a particular brand of "dorky" humor that people didn't think was funny even when I was in high school.
Your video just got you a new subscriber! Thanks for sharing some quality, intelligent, playful content.
I feel like my old millennial-ass should start making TikToks about how I low key love gen Z. Or maybe not. Is self deprecating humor in right now cause that and overly honest sarcasm is about all I have.
I think the cringe and overacting isn't really a millenial thing, there are just always people like that
True. And they love attention so they obviously would gravitate toward the “film yourself for the masses” app whether it’s tiktok or insta.
@@ville__keep yourself safe
@NotVille_ I know who you are
Exactly, there are people like this in every generation, and people who are embarrassed by it in every gen lol. They are not representatives for the majority of any generation
Yeah I'm a gen z person and had a friend about two years younger than me act like the woman with the cream cheese. I still liked her and thought she was funny though bc she didn't over do anything. And she was also normal most of the time
“im beginning to feel a burning sense of anger as im watching this.” to “i think im afraid of this woman.” in 4 seconds has me CRYINGG
She was PROFOUNDLY annoying, lol!

Ngl the “this person is 27.” Absolutely floored me. Your delivery is amazing. You earned a sub
13:35 werent millennials the generation that ate borax. whos stealing snacks from the laundry room again??/
these are the people who bullied the “weird girl” in school for watching anime but are now being the “weird 🤪 girl 🤪” to get engagement
Not sold on this, I'm a Millennial and the people who were like this in 2008 are still like this in 2024
Gen Z here and I still cringe at people with anime obsession.
weird person*. it’s not just females that get bullied hun. Shut up
@@vainetuxxsame
@@vainetuxxwhat do you consider "obsession?"
and how is an "anime obsession" different from being obsessed with any other form of media or a certain genre of media i.e., Marvel movies?
On a serious note, realizing that generational hate is a toxic cycle is the first step to stop it. My mom and I both realized it at some point in time and it really helped us understand each other and better our relationship. She used to see my problems as shallow and irrelevant while I used to see her as indifferent and distant, but it took some a lot of time and effort for us to see each other as humans with different lives and perspectives. Let's not be the generation that continues the hate. Let's be the ones who stop it.
Yesss!!
I doubt that all of gen z will drop it, but at least we can make it irrelevant. So gen alpha can finaly drop it or the one after, make it smaller and smaller each time until it's gone
@@sambored9387 yeah! calling kids dumb or something cus they watch stupid content is not helping, most of us watched MLG compilations or something simmilar at one point, which is basically the same, flashing colors non-stop loud sounds and such.
@@ville__ I asked
Thank you
I was born in 2002 so Gen Z and a Millennial (my mom is literally 4 years older than the older Millennials) so i grew up with both🫠
I relate to being between generations. I was born in 87, so while I'm firmly a millennial, I was low-income in a rural area (technology was firmly 10-15 years behind) raised partly by my grandparents, so I also had a lot of the childhood experiences of Gen X. And people about my mom's age will say things like "before your time" talking about relatively common experiences or musicians that I did grow up with. I think most people just don't really get that they can't guess other people's life experiences based on their age.
Millennials infantilizing and at the same time beefing with Gen Z carries some major boomer energy, ngl.
This is real asf 💀 I'm a millennial and it felt like the same way my parents talked about millenials
@@ailyilyx I'm seeing it with the way some Gen Z's talk about Gen Alpha, too.

Yes very intense to age and realize some of us think the younger generation isn’t as good as us…sir……SIRRR.
As a Gen Z’er who grew up working VHS tapes/DVD’s, saw my mom have a Blackberry flip phone in the smart phone era, plays an authentic NES, owns and operates a record player and who listens to a CD player on the daily, I can confirm that I have no knowledge of vintage tech.
Fr our group is just stuck in the middle so confused watching this horrible tennis match go back and forth 😂
i remember a baseball game i went to with my family where my dad said he had a "big surprise" and pulled out his work-issued new blackberry- it was so exciting for my little self and for my brothers...like holy shit, our dad got the most fancy phone on the market at the time !! i was 5 yrs old. i'm 17 now, almost 18. it's so wild that people have this idea that we don't have any clue about old technology- my first phone was a flip phone and i have over 50 CDs i use often. my brothers used to fight over who rewinded the VHS at my grandpa's lol

i feel like many older gen z or just poor gen z people in general have grown up with vhs, flip phones, home phones, cds, blocky tvs, and lots of 90s things. a lot of them were even old enough to remember the few years before smartphones were beginning to be a thing in the common household. this is why i can't stand the whole "generation talk" because it just seems like a grab at feeling better than one or the other.
@@specializedchemicals6669here in Belgium the American trends were a thing quite a lot later. I remember my parents having flip phone Motorolas. The first smartphones my parents got, the first iPad. I’m in a very weird in between ground as well.
I literally taught someone who was 3 years younger than me and I just didn’t understand him anymore…
Fanom tax is from the amp streamers, one of the kids name is fanom and he taxes his roommates for food when they order out
I love your voice and if we EVER get the chance to cross paths just know. We’re friends and I would love to give you a hug. 💕✨ born in 97 and I felt this to my core
As someone who works in a primary/grade school, covid + online everything on touch screens has actually really stunted some of the kids in key social skills. Kids aged 7-10 have the most fights, resort to violence before anything else, and have significantly poorer communication, team work, and play skills, because they basically spent 2 years alone in front of screens. We literally have to have special classes and sessions to teach some of the kids how to interact and play with each other. We've had to flag 7 and 8 year olds that have been exposed to pornography and try to imitate it. We've had 9 year olds talking and giving phone numbers out to complete strangers online, because they don't know internet safety and their parents often can't be bothered. We've literally got at least 5 kids in the school who bully for fun, because they just straight up don't know how to not act like that. We're in Scotland, and we have some kids that have US accents because they were raised by the TV from infancy. We've got kids who genuinely don't understand that not everything is a touch screen, because it's all they've ever known. Most of them are at lower literacy levels than expected because they straight up lost 2 years of school an are struggling to catch up. Gen Alpha need as much help as they can't get honestly, because they're really struggling, and ridicule isn't going to help them.
granted, we live in the age of easily-accessible internet, but wtf?! there’s kids that are that young that have seen porn and are trying to imitate it to boot?
what in the fresh fuck are the parents doing, or rather, failing to do?!
ridicule =/= consequences for your actions
I literally did not realize it was possible for kids to have accents based on the TV they watch. I always remember being mystified why my friend with two British parents sounded American, because for the first five years of their life they were mostly exposed to that accent. I thought it was inevitable that no matter the parentage and no matter what they heard at home, kids always have the accent of the region they're raised in. This is mind-boggling social science to me.
Also I think I remember reading somewhere that it provably stunted children's writing skills because touch screens don't allow for children to build the same hand strength as play activities for children in the past.
It's so crazy that some people mock literal children?? It's not their fault, it's the fault of the people who raised them. And well, they're talking about generation, but whose generation is raising them... Some people have to understand that generation is just a social construct WE created and there is stupid people at every age. You really can't blame a CHILD for doing what they can with the little that they learned. And well, let's be serious, if you have a problem with 5 years old, I don't think they're the weird ones...😬
That Jim Carrey diagnosis is on point. I think it proves that what we're exposed to as we grow up shapes our humors and personalities. And what's certain is that each generation will have something that the others find cringe, indefinitely.
First of all, Jim Carrey is not cringe he's one of the best actors alive, stfu.
everyone's different.
Jimcarreyitis
This is well said and I think the best point here. I see it in "boomer humor" vs #Millenialhumor and at the heart a lot of the generational memes or colloquialisms are born in similar ways and have similar meanings.
My favorite right now is "Me when" has turned into "POV you are...". Every generation has their own version but it's all generational coping.
I love Jim Carrey he’s my fav actor and I’m 15 rn but I WILL NEVER act like that
Bro the 28-year old toddler is literally my ADHD friend, and her fake clumsiness is literally everyone at my middle school (gen Z). So, is this behavior spreading? Or are millennials not the only ones who possess these quirky behaviors…?
the danger of watching too much disney and anime
As a member of the younger part of Gen-Z I can confirm that stopped watching the brainrot you mentioned in 2017, as for the among us animations, stopped completely in 2021, and now in 2024 I watch Jack Stauber, NirvanaGuitars and videos of Nirvana preforming live and listen to music that was released through the years of 1960-2010, regarding the genres of pop punk, punk rock, grunge rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and jazz.
as an also young member of gen z I was not given a phone until 4 months ago never watched the brainrot (Jack stauber is amazing)
as someone who’s part of the “young” Gen Z community I severely apologise for some of us making those cringe songs. I partially blame Gen Alpha too.
We’re all cringe in some ways, and at some times. You don’t need to apologize for anything.
Don't apologize, embrace your "cringe". It's fun. People are literally just making you feel bad for having a good time, and that's a them problem.
the moral of the story is be cringe and be free!!! but dont spread generational hate because of it. no need to apologize for that stuff :3
Gen Z is blamed for a lot of things Gen Alpha does. Not saying Gen Z is perfect, but yeah
Well those cringy songs like “sticking out your gyat for the rizzler” weren’t meant to be taken seriously and were only jokes that’s why we like them
Being called "acoustic" on TikTok literally reminded of folks using the R slur back when I was a kid. Gen Z is keeping ableism alive.
Gen Z needs to recognize they're bringing back a lot of bad stuff. This isn't me being a hater, this is me being genuinely concerned. Studies are already coming out that they're more susceptible to pseudo science, cult influence/BITE model grifts, all that stuff. And with all of that unfortunately comes a plethora of other issues.
Gen Z is doing great things, let me emphasize that, like some of the discourse they're creating is phenomenal. But the "acoustic" shit, the blindly believing in clearly wackadoo science....it genuinely worries me. We almost began to clear all that nonsense out, and now it's just coming back.
Can someone tell me what the acoustic thing is about??? Why are there so many people saying that??
At my school people openly say the r slur and the f slur. I had to get used to it because I was taken aback hearing people saying it like it’s normal??? So weird.
@@whattoputthereit was originally a joke made by autistic people, replacing autistic with acoustic or artistic. it was a way for us to make silly little jokes. unfortunately allistics (non autistics, this includes neurodivergent non autistics, ESPECIALLY them) got ahold of the joke and now use it derogatorily, calling autistic people “it”. they turned a harmless joke into a sanist offensive “joke”.
sanist/ism = the discrimination against people with mental health issues. ableism is actually a term for physically disabled people only, fun fact! they’re not interchangeable terms
@@whattoputthere it started as an autistic community in joke from a facebook post or smth like that where "autistic" was misspelled as "acoustic" and a lot of autistic people thought it was funny and used it for their fav characters or ocs or pets affectionately as a relatable thing (albeit sometimes a bit problematically) but it was really soon overtaken by people who are not autistic and they began using it negatively and like a replacement for the r slur. now thats pretty much all it means.
You dematerislizing when that... clumsy.... lady come on had me rolling ont he floor lmao 😂❤
I, painfully, was raised by a Gen X parent who refused to cook, maintain a liveable home, keep food that is in-date, and overall acted like a 5-year-old basically 24/7. I had to tell him not to eat things off the floor, and worry about how much money was going into shopping, eating out, etc. I was 10 years old and begging for some sort of maturity & rules & structure. To which I received the’rule’ to get up every morning, put on makeup, and wear a dress. Which, as you can imagine, was infuriatingly uncomfortable for a 10 year old girl that would rather play in a mud-pit than wear a pink dress.
"i think i'm pretty cringe-resistant" to "keep it together, man" has me ROLLING
As a younger millennial you honestly nailed this. I feel way more in common with an older Gen Z than a Disney adult and remember when we promised not to hate the next generation just to see a lot of people flip on that faster than a politician.
I really hope gen z can bridge the gap and like tease rather than bully, although hopefully gen alpha arent just vicious assholes based on how the “millennial man babies” (not all millennials, just the ones on tik tok rubbing it in gen zs faces that theyre purposefully sabotaging the next generation to get back at us for making fun of skinny jeans) but maybe were too dead inside to be affected, and that will be our strong suit in the end. Or it just continues LMAO
Literally I thought I was the only one
100% agree! at the intersection of the two I still remember all the shit millennials got (ruining the economy, destroying marriage, not buying overpriced houses, don't like golf enough, you know, important issues like that) and was like "I'm so glad we can break this trend of shitting on upcoming generations" and then the latest division started and I was like, "uh, guys? I thought we agreed this was shitty and completely unhelpful in every way"
For me it's like...that's it. I'm getting old and dying and I won't get to a point in history where people aren't complaining about millennials just because we chose to wake up that morning.
I'm an elderly millennial and I have no idea what's going on
This physically hurts to watch
Istg when the spooky spooky haircut video came a squad buster ad saved me from the cringe😭😭 supercell thank you
I think ageism plays a big part in all this. If we treated aging less harshly and didn't act like it's the worst thing anyone could do/that it devalues a woman's worth - even though it's all literally unavoidable - people wouldn't want to cling to youth so much.
Oof this hits hard
yeh i agree, that and the fact that a lot of straight women still believe they have to do things to please men because of how they were raised and men are proven to be attracted to very young women so aging is seen as you becoming less desirable in the eyes of society AND romantic partners
this !!!!!!
@@jjk4754Men are disgusting then just forget men become lesbian
Yes! Also feel like a lot of “generational hate” is just jealousy/bitterness towards the younger generation because of how we view aging as a society
At this point, it doesn't matter what the topic is. I see Funky and I click. It's just that simple.

I don’t remember the last time I subscribed to a reaction account but this one is valid
The “spooky spooky haircut” one genuinely frightened me to my core
I saw this vid on instagram and everyone was commenting “spooky spooky toothbrush”. I low-key feel bad for them ngl.
@@eggmon420yeah I thinks it’s a little cringe but they seem genuinely happy lol. And if these videos are making em happy then let them yknow?
Eh, I don’t mind this. In the scope of things it’s harmless, if a bit weird but so what? There are some horrible realities out there. Things that have genuinely frightened me to the core
@@nothanks5440i agree with this, they make me cringe so bad but they seem happy. Unfortunately last year they got doxxed and run off the platform, last I heard
Because it was so spooky
I noticed that when people talk about millennials it's always about the one's born in the 80s and when they talk about the zoomers, it about the one's born in the 2010's. The 90s babies/2000s kids generation definitely gets the ignored middle child treatment whenever generations are discussed.
very true
us middle children are ~zillenials~
I was born in 99 and some millennial aged people act like I didn’t grow up with dial up internet and vhs tapes. Then gen z freaks out like I’m not only 1-11 years older than them. I had a friend born in 2000 keep asking me what grade I was in when she was in X grade and she kept getting flabbergasted that I’m only ONE year older than her “but born in the 90s?!?” Lmao
@@ChocolateRougeyes~
@@ChocolateRougeOoo I like that 😂
The way you actually made yourself laugh at the end was the best
As a millennial, I don't act like this and I am embarrassed for them.
For some reason the chick that claimed to "accidentally" throw random shit at people all the time annoyed me the most. If that's *actually* a problem that you have, it's on *you* to not reach out and take the glass/metal objects that people try to hand you, not on everyone else to magically know you're itching to concuss them. The way she talked about it like the people she hurts are the ones at fault was just craaaazy.
Yeah when se was just throwing the cups it was whatever, cringe uwu humor. But then she discussed throwing them AT people and injuring them because they gave her the wrong cup. Lady, that's assault now, not quirky uwu.
She has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a mobility condition that limits her proprioception skills. The target audience was other disabled people who need accommodations like plastic drinking cups so they don't hurt themselves or others. Was it maybe poorly done? Sure.
@@mamazeta906that’s actually really important context…. yeah still annoying delivery and hyperbolic but actually makes sense what she’s talking about
@@mamazeta906 that... Actually changes everything lol
Yeah, I feel like if that's a real problem she'd probably have to look for a neurologist or psychiatrist, not go on the net aby it
I also think having siblings blurs the lines between gen z and millennials. I was born in 95, at the tail end of the millennial generation, but I have sisters who were born in 99 and 2003, so they're gen z. but our childhoods were...largely the same. we also definitely share aspects of our humor and cultural outlooks. I am also a college professor, so I'm constantly around the newest generation of adults, my 18-21 students, so I think that gives me some more realistic insight into what gen z is like outside of social media. and also - I remember the prevalence of this type of humor in the 2010s, the heckin doggo speak, and it was just as annoying (to most people, in my memory) then as it is now. the most obnoxious people you know will always get the most attention online, unfortunately.
I’m 17 and I go to college so you might actually have some 06s mixed in as well. (Like very veryyyyyy few) I promise you we aren’t any different than the 19-20 yr olds, we can drive, we have jobs etc😂 I actually have a few friends in that age group that are also in the same class😭 I mean I was like 4 in 2010 so I started to remember things during that time (the 2010s were amazing tho fr, not sure if that’s cause that was basically my childhood or something lmao)
Seriously, why must all the most obnoxious people get the most attention? I feel like it breeds even more obnoxiousness 🥲
My immediate thought was “Omg they are NOT a college professor they’re like two years older than I am 🙄” so um…that was a jump scare for my mortality
I definitely know I have at least a couple 17 year old students! I find they frequently are more mature than their older peers haha @@Ariel-lol
I really vibe with this comment. I'm a 97 baby but I grew up with siblings 7 and 6 years older than me, and I got all their hand-me-downs. Doesn't help that we were kinda poor when I was a kid, so the 80s, 90s, and 2000s ended up lasting a bit longer than average I think. As a result, I don't really feel like a Gen Z person? I spent so many years being grouped with the rest of the avocado toast generation that it's a tad confusing to now be told I'm actually a part of an entirely different group?
I am gen zed. I have achieved as much joy as the pumpkin spice cream cheese lady. Getting stabbed by malenia in elden ring and her saying: “I am Malenia, blade of Miquella”
I’m 2010 gen z and my first phone was a flip phone I got when I was almost 13 😭😭😭
Samee, i always hear millenials talking about how we dont know how to use a landline but i knew how to use one before i even got access to gadgets when i was way older 😭
I'm a millennial and I don't understand how anyone can still be experiencing the female equivalent of the peter pan syndrome after going through the era of BME olympics, 1 guy 1 jar and 2 girls 1 cup. I have been dead inside for approximately 15 years
this made me cackle lmao i guess some kids weren't terminally online like we were smh
I mean, in fairness, that is often exactly why some people go thru Peter Pan syndrome. Some ppl can get caught in a cycle of childish behavior if they feel, even subconsciously, that they were made to grow up too fast.
Thank god I’ve never seen any of those videos. I didn’t want to be scarred for life.
Lmaoo. I was raised on 2000s internet with no parental supervision. I am not okay!
Lmfao same
I’m born ‘89 millennial and cannot relate AT ALL to this cringe nightmare.
Just because these people are millennials does not mean millennials like this content. I assume most viewers on tiktok are 12 and younger, tbh.
Same!
‘95 millennial here and neither can I. I don’t agree it is a millennial issue - I think it’s a cry for attention and need to feel/look younger🤦🏻♀️
84' so old millenial and absolutely cannot relate whatsoever to it
Yes I born in 90 and this stuff has always been so cringe to me
there was an antitrans ad before this :(
I literally think I'm less obnoxious and loud and clumsy and whatever than these people and I LITERALLY HAVE A TIC DISORDER😭
i appreciate how most of your videos aren't discouraging people for having fun but just, talking about it instead and being able to jokes about how yeah you find this cringey but they're living their life happily and at the end of the day that's the only thing that matters
I agree. Most of your videos, funky frog bait, are entertaining and enjoyable but this one just seems like it's bashing people for trying to have a good time. This one kind of hurts my heart. I am the parent of a millennial and a great aunt to several gen z nieces and nephews. (My child decided not to have kids so I'm a grand aunt instead.)
What you're doing here in this video reminds me of the girl at the IHOP eating her pancake and the woman in the background with the gross face. I would be the woman in the background with the gross face and yo, (funky frog) would be eating the pancake. 🤷🏼♀️
@@MelanieGannon nah that shit is all cringe and you're allowed to give them the glare.
@@Zectifin and I'm allowed to look at you like you're an asshole for doing so. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Zectifin I will admit that her introduction to the video upset me to the point that I did not watch it further than 5 minutes.
If the end result was of her telling people to leave these " cringe-worthy" people alone then I have to take back my statement and admit that I didn't watch the whole video. I would suggest that she may be put a disclaimer at the beginning stating these are not her personal opinions or she's going to lose subscribers like me. I know I'm just one of hundreds of thousands but if I am one and then there is another one then it could end up like illuminati.
@@MelanieGannonIf you can’t tell the words she is saying on her own channel would be her own opinion that sounds like you problem. she is in no way like blaire (illuminati). blaire didn’t just annoy people or whatever your issue is, blaire was abusive and literally tried to make someone homeless.
your “comparison” is the most offensive thing here.
As a 1992 millennial I'm so thankful I don't know anyone personally from my generation that behaves like this. These people activate my fight or flight reflex.
As a 1992 millennial as well I could not agree more. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who behaves like this.
X2
Same.
I’m a 1992 millennial too, and mind you I like to joke that I’m not a real adult, that adulting is hard, and a big part of reparenting myself is letting out the child in me sometimes. Yet, I’ve never acted, and don’t know any millennial around my age, who acts like the ones shown here. I was actually pretty shocked lol.
I’m all for people having harmless fun and doing whatever makes them happy, even if it’s cringe, but those TikToks were still hard to watch lol.
Like the TH-camr mentioned, it’s more about them being a certain niche of people than about them being millennials.
I think the millennials who act like that are usually desperate for attention and/or watched too much Shane Dawson growing up 🙃
I'm honestly so over punching down to the next generation. I find it really amusing that my Gen X and Boomer friends constantly infantilize Millennials. We complain about it and then turn around and do it to Gen Z and alpha. I'm a teacher, so I try to stay on top of the next trends and slang and I try to remember that I was there once at the forefront of new trends and I confused the adults around me just as much as kids do these days.
Agree, a lot of it is just casual and weaponized ageism. It goes both ways as well. Which is dumb because no one should be knocked down for their age, we can't control that. I rather people be knocked for their personality, or lack of one
I'm so glad you addressed that not every person from the same generation acts the same. Not all millennials are disney adults. Not all gen z's can't stop scrolling on tiktok. Not all gen alphas are addicted to skibidi toilet. Stereotypes (the non harmful ones) can be funny, but we need to make sure we understand that they don't apply to everyone in that group.
As a Gen Z who DID get emotionally abused & exploited by their family & friends, who DID used to watch almost anything & everything on a VHS, & who DID have a flip phone. I can’t help but feel slightly irked at how we sometimes get treated
Same, I didn’t necessarily grow up with VHS tapes but I have watched them and know what they are and it makes me so frustrated when millennials treat us. I had a teacher who was absolutely flabbergasted that we knew what a VHS tape was and took it in a way that made all of us feel stupid. Like our generation was right behind yours geez
both generations grew up with the same media, movies/shows always had reruns on tv and games get cheaper as time passes, plus there were ports too on Virtual Console. both generations aren’t really that different in general, and if you want to really get deeper into it; Gen X essentially planted the seeds of our modern world (internet, digital infrastructure, fandom culture, etc)
Honey, you HAD a phone. Most millennials didn’t have an actual phone until they were adults. It was absolutely not common for children to be given cell phones and if you brought one to school it would likely be confiscated until the end of the YEAR.
Your experience is very different than that of millennials. Furthermore, I’m not sure why you bring up emotional abuse as if you’re the first generation to have trauma.
@@BoringTroublemaker I don't know how you meant this comment to come off but this kinda feels weirdly gatekeepy and serious considering the topic
@@alim.9801 what, exactly, am I gatekeeping? The experience of not having a phone? My point is, each generation had its own experiences, that’s why they are their own generation. Gen z trying act like they had the same experiences as millennials _but harder_ is absurd and objectively false.
The damage done by Melissa McCarthy and Jim Carrey on the millennial generation is palpable
I hadn’t heard about Melissa McCarthy influencing it before but it really does make sense. Like a lot of these have that vibe. Because I honestly don’t know , does the actor act like this or has she had a part that acted like this? I at least feel like there are facial expressions in these videos that remind me of her
Not me I hate them both. But especially Jim Carey. So over the top its annoying
It’s a very small percentage that are like this. This is a behavior and mental issue. I’m surprise no one seems to know any psychology in these comments. Kinda sad how our gen z turned out.

Honestly, as a Millennial, I feel like Millennials and Gen-Z have a lot more in common than either of them realize. I'm so tired of generations going after one another so unnecessarily! It's way more cringe and hurtful than any of these embarrassing TikToks from EITHER generation.
Ditto. I have all the respect in the world for the challenges that seemed so new to use as we came of age, but were baked into our culture by the time Gen Z had - no wonder it’s a generation that’s been defined by depression and a helpless sense of apathy, I can’t imagine. Just being old enough to remember before 9/11 and have a sense of self (I was 11yo) makes a huge difference in how fast the world moved in some of my most important developmental phases, and my bestie and I often talk about us being the last generation that remembers what it was like to live without the internet affecting our lives.
That stuff makes a massive difference when you’re younger than 10, and it’s obvious that it’s has a huge impact on parenting in a mostly negative way, too. I have friends that are parents and I’m not sure that I will be one, but I’ve also been reflecting on the idea that millennials may be the first generation to be able to really push away the social pressure to have children. Sometimes I think that people like me, who love and appreciate children and take it very seriously, are the ones who would be more qualified parents, but the people who take it for granted are often a significant portion of the parents in our generation.
All of these factors and more amount to the fact that growing up is hard, and that neglect and other problems advance over the years as we develop technologies that are supposed to be relief and support, but end up doing the whole job.
I can’t say I’ve got the solution, but just talking about it like this video is very productive and perspective changing for anyone who didn’t understand- and I’m hoping it brings about more conversation and attention to foster positive change and compassionate cooperation.
I think younger millenials like 90 - 96 babies sand older gen z share a lot in common. Older millennials ..... idk and I feel like young gen z are really just iPad babies lite
@dianeyoung8130
The development of technology and social media really did something. I was born in early 2000's so in a way perfect timing to see technology and social media grow and become what is known today.
But the Gen Z born during the prime of social media... I can't relate to them. I can't relate to the Gen Z that are still high/elementary school. When I compare my childhood and teenagehood to theirs, it's so different....
My childhood is more similar to generalmillennial.
The moment technology was born and developed. Going through these phases before entering their prime. Leading to social media. It's so weird
@@dianeyoung8130the iPad babies are gen alpha
I’m gen z (2006) and never touched any type of tablet until age probably age 7
I feel like gen z was the last gen to grow up without constant technology at our hands I mean I remember schools switching from all paper to chromebooks and I did and still do hate it
@@dianeyoung8130btw I think the oldest gen alpha are 12 or 11
i'm a millennial and i see gen z as our younger siblings. we're so alike in many ways and our upbringing has plagued us with national event after national after international event and so on and so forth. we're getting poorer, we're more depressed, we own less power.. let's not fight over small generational issues like trends, memes, music, and art. there's a lot to appreciate within both generations.
I agree; I always felt bad for Gen Z because I knew if things were crashing down in my generation (housing market, stock crash, 9/11, war), it was just going to get more dystopian for them. Social media was only just rising while I was in high school, and now gen z gets cyber bullied and faced a pandemic during crucial years. As my gen z cousin would say , "Millenials were promised the world and had the rug pulled out from under them so they deserve to feel bitter. My generation always knew we never had a chance."
This, the generation wars is just as dumb as the gender wars. There's way too much important shit going on to focus on trivial us vs them bullshit.
@@FableCircusYou nailed it. We dealt with a lot of shit and crushed dreams, but at least we even had things to dream about.
GOD you don't know how good this is to hear!! I'm in my early 20s, on the tail end of gen Z, and I hate knowing that a lot of millennials automatically look down on me when we're not that different in the grand scheme of things!! It's sad how quickly people forget what it's like to be young and to struggle in these ways. It may be the fucked up kid in me, but it baffles me how quickly people stop caring about how children experience the world and how they feel. The genocide in Gaza has been hurting my heart so much to watch, and it hurts even more to know that my generation is being villainized for wanting senseless violence to end. It makes me feel crazy to close TikTok or Insta and see people supporting such vile acts. Covid peak was hard, I turned 18 in 2020 and graduated in 21. School was just a nightmare for me, too. How can my pain be swept aside without a care in the world when my generation is next to make change, to pick up the pebbled from the broken pieces that were shattered further?
Literally, in some cases! I'm 1994, my brother is 1997.
Not Jim Carrey. This is some Will Farrell bad humor.
Im subscribing RIGHT NOW! 💃🏾 First time coming across your video, so im gonna go binge
I mean, if these people's greatest evil is "Liking stuff annoyingly" and "Emoting immaturely", frankly I don't have a real problem with it. It's stupid, sure, but my generation Naruto ran and did further stupidity. My parents had their own stupidity, and despite their denials, so did my grandparents. Every generation is stupid. Literally, every single generation. It has to happen.
I still do Naruto run. If you want to fight aerodynamics then be it, but I’m gonna be that streamlined ninja when I need be on time to my appointment
From the millennial side of things, the Naruto run was what we called the Inuyasha run at the time because it’s like exactly the same thing but from an older anime and that’s something that always made me laugh because even me in high school in 2004-2005 would run like that through the hallways But before Naruto was even popularized in America 😂😂😂😂
My actual live kids do the run that I STILL call the inuyasha run 😂
nah none of this have a real problem with it. I'm pretty sure op's thing is just to point out how cringe things are, but they themselves point out how cringe THEY can be too. so it's not really in bad faith or in any harm :o

Oh Lord, you just reminded me of the planking fad when I was in highschool. Now that was millennial stupidity.
"flip phones would send gen z into a coma" is so funny. my first real phone was a flip phone and i'm 18
same buddy, and honestly? i prefer the flip phone, i still have it too. if i ever wanna use social media i have to go home and pull out my computer
My first ever phone was a Nokia. I didnt get a flip phone until we got an upgrade but my Nokia was cool because my mom got a butterfly case for it and it had a cute charm where the antenna was. Omg you remember when phones had antennas you had to extend up to get service? Haha
My first phone was a 20€ non flip nokia. I thought it was the coolest thing ever
@@VodkaMutini413 i think my grandpa had one of those and i thought it was the coolest thing ever, like something out of a sci fi movie, i never had one myself tho
Growing up I always wanted a flip phone and got very disappointed when I was 13 and my phone couldn't flip. I'm 20
As a young Gen Z, I don't understand why (SOME) Millennials think that Gen Z is filled with little babies with no sense of awareness of what they grew up with. Most of the people i know who are Gen Z were raised like Millennials (or just raised by boomers/Gen X)😭
