Super cringe to say cringe unironically in 2025. Clearly, OP must be either silent generation or gen X because they called them based. Gen Z know not to say cringe anymore. I would like to say shut the fuck but that is a waste of energy as OP is probably one of the silent generation, which I conclude based on the fact that OP refuses to elaborate on this post, which is a clear indicator that OP is silent.
Generational warfare is pretty cringe. The chart isn’t even right, too. X was the highest percentage voting for trump generationally. I’m ashamed of my brethren.
Yup as soon as I saw gen Z based I knew. 5-10 years ago this would have been the opposite, it's always the generation of new adults that thinks they're hip and cool while looking down on the "kids". When I was younger we (millennials) all thought we were the coolest and made fun of gen Z for being cringe. Now gen Z thinks they're cool but soon enough they'll be old and lame too and gen Alpha will have the spotlight.
Just wait till a kid hits you with "sir" for the first time and then looks at you weird when you insist you're not that old.
Cringe is teenagers and 20 somethings hero worshipping Joe Rogan and supporting right wing christian nationalists. Lamest fucking generation around. Even boomers had a hippie phase before becoming old and bitter. Gen Z just skipped that and went straight to the conformist bootlicker phase.
"In her recollection, her interest in Trump was prompted by his positions on trade. However, looking back six years later she confessed, “I’m going to forget all the facts.” She tried to recall: “I did my research back then into what was happening with Paris Trade Accord [a reference to the climate agreement that the Obama administration had entered into] and things … I didn’t like it, and Trump was against it. I said, ‘Ok, great.’”
This is roughly consistent with Bonier’s analysis of Gen X voters, which has found that they are very concerned about the economy, somewhat concerned about retirement (although nowhere near as much as Baby Boomers) and not terribly concerned about issues like the environment or guns."

these are not serious people.

" In her first term, she’s sponsored legislation to ban vaccine mandates, to prohibit libraries from making obscene materials available to minors and to nullify federal enforcement of gun control laws in the state."
Imagine spending most of your adult life with an affected world-weary detachment from society and beliving it makes you anything but a insufferable juvenile shithead.
Boomers and Gen X share the same cringe slot. Gen X’ers are always either behaviorally boomers, or completely aimless in life. Their generation never developed shared goals or values of their own.
As someone on the boundary between millennials and gen Z. Sometimes I am cringe as fuck and sometimes I am based. The worst part is, it's hard to predict when either will happen.
Silent Gen raised Gen X which raised Gen Z. Seems simple enough to me.
Also, millennials are just Boomers replayed. Hippies are almost a mirror image of millennials. I totally can't wait (sarcastic) for them to turn into yuppies (they already have) and become overtly materialistic to the point of robbing their own childrens' futures to keep up with the rising cost of avocados.
I got a silent Gen dad, and a boomer mom, and I am a younger Gen x. No, I'm definitely not. Most of Gen X had silent Gen parents. Most millennials had boomer parents. Obviously there is some bleed over.
Toad, I would love to have all the advantages boomers had and I would gladly agree with you and chuckle and call myself a hypocrite BUT I CAN'T EVEN BUY A FUCKING HOUSE IN THIS ECONOMY.
I can't argue with that. But as a late Gen X, I graduated highschool at the time when my age was the wealthiest generation in human history. The politics that led us here is not just Boomers fault. Millennials, Gen X, and even the Silent Gen have blame here too. We were all too happy to see Clinton continue Reagan's pandering and then felt shoehorned into most of this by the 911 attacks. The economy collapsed and then Bush's policies totally saved us... for a few years. Then the recession hit and the Bush era legal changed wrecked our ability to regulate our government officials leaving us vulnerable to corporate slavery.
