I’ll fight anyone who shits on Gen Z

I'm definitely too old, but as a Millennial I love Gen Z. They got their funny internet things, their doom memes, their music, and I say go for it. They're picking up and running with the rights for all, they're more open than we even are, and it's just awesome to see. People love to make fun of the younger generation but are so quick to forget what we were actually like back then.

I'm a liberal progressive GenXer and my workplace is full of MAGA millenials. I thought I would be OK when the boomers started to die off from heart disease, but here we are.

Pretty much, most of the gen x I work with are indistinguishable from boomers at this point.

kids don't want to work these days

people need to just save more money

immigrants are taking all the jobs

Gen X to everyone, you fucking donkeys.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am a geriatric millenial and watching gen Z grow up has actually been incredible. It is a generation that has more compassion and self-awareness than the ones that came before them. I am proud of these kids (even though most of them aren't even kids anymore).

As a gen X it's just nice to be remembered that I exist.

Still, I own my own home without my parents having to die, so I'll rub that in your faces if you try to make me feel old.

It’s OK, GenX is used to being forgotten or misunderstood.

Lots of Millenials can’t tell the difference from a Boomer.

I don't understand why this whole generation concept is so popular these days. I don't think it helps anyone if it's just used for sensationalistic general statements that pit one group against the other. This is the same unthinking logic that racism operates on. I cannot see that this way of thinking would in any way help to find solutions to the real problems or even to identify the actors who are responsible for today's ills. On the contrary, it only helps irresponsible profiteers to continue their greed for profit at the expense of the general public by placing the blame on an anonymous group rather than on the individuals who are actually responsible.

As a gen Xer, I'd rebel if my back didn't hurt.

I am Gen X, and I am pretty sure that people who group other people by age are retards who desperately long to be part of a group that just has to be better than the others. 50 years from now, the same kind of people will complain how Gen Z politicians were responsible for the genocidal war.

What's wrong with gen x? I remember being repeatedly told growing up that we were the first generation for which things were gonna be worse than the previous. Lo and fucking behold.

Millenials were the original "avocado toast" generation targeted by boomers. We've been conditioned to protect our young from the real babies in these older generations. But there are good ones and bad ones in every generation.

AFAICT Gen X should really just be split into Boomers and early millennials.

I'm a late gen X (1978) and do not associate with boomers at all.

We're basically millennials before the internet.

I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.

That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don't go down the same path...

Making your ancestors proud < making your descendants proud.

Gen X here. Full support to my Milennial and Zoomer homies.

I'm genX. I just got off the monthly GenX Skype call. Mostly we bitched again about boomers spreading aids everywhere just as we were flowering. Anyway, I mentioned this post, they told me to tell you that we DGAF what GenZ thinks, so long as you pay your rent.

Gen z here believe it or not. Gen x and boomers fucked up a lot of stuff. I sadly feel doomed ):

Demography is moving away from generational studies because aside from Boomers they do not indicate much

But why only millennials that seem to get shitted on by every other gen?

Anyone has that meme with Space-Marine-style Millienial protecting lil-Gen-Z guy with his sword, saying "they fucked us real good, no?" or something.

It was here a couple weeks ago.

Whaaat? I love gen x!

!genx@lemmy.world

No you won't, you'll just yell at them anonymously online. We know your tricks!

As a millennial, I have no problem with z or x, my issue is with the generation that got theirs and made sure the following generations would never be able to. The pieces of shit who grew up preaching peace and love and then voted for Reagan. At least their kids hated them so much that we got great music out of it.

Ah, yes, generational antagonism. Tale as old as time. Still as completely fucking useless as it ever was.

I'm fine with Gen X but I was also almost Gen X myself so that probably had something to do with it.

I always wonder if this boomer/millennial thing is an American invention. Is it media manufactured? I don't see this adversarial generationalism here at all.
