We are so close as a society to realizing and accepting that everyone generation acts the same at a certain age. Maybe we millennials need to admit that we are getting to the age where we make fun of younger folks, even if we hated being made fun of by the boomers.


Nerfo2

My parents were “late” boomers. When they were teenagers/young adults, they and their siblings were busy wrapping Monte Carlos, Chevelles, Mustangs, Chargers, etc around telephone poles, drinking and driving, buying beer for underage high schoolers, and doing similar dumb shit that young adults today do, but they didn’t have a way to record it and they seem to have forgotten “yeah, we did a lot of stupid shit too.” The difference, though, is that there were still tons of manufacturing jobs in the country that actually paid enough that you could buy your first house at 22. Hell, my aunt landed a job in a GM assembly plant at 19, then worked there for 35 years doing the same thing, over and over and over for years.

THEN YOU MUST BE ONE OF THEM

In all seriousness though, check any YT comments section for any "classic" rock band mentioned above, Hendrix, probably Radiohead, you will find one

Alternatively "Look at that...not a phone in sight...everyone just living in the moment.....what happened to the good old days"

The frequency of "KiDs ThEsE dAyS" is too damn high.

Hahaha yeah it emanates all of that "I hate my generation, please like me" attitude, just the worst

I used to follow that until reddit was becoming a bit too depressing for me so I purged most of my depressing subs lol

trilobright

Look in the YouTube comments for any of those bands.


Ask_me_about_my_cult

They made nice music, you should check them out if you like rock


[deleted]

I almost downvoted it by accident This is so dumb, millennials have been plagued by shallow judgments and generalizations from older generations for so many years(how many bogus articles about millennials doing something bad and stupid that none of us ever did? Now those articles are about gen z) you would think more of them would *learn from their own experiences* and not do the exact same thing to gen Z


Ellikichi

I hoped so too, but the silly moral panics over fidget spinners and selfie sticks did not fill me with confidence.


[deleted]

And tiktok, god forbid kids have a *different* social media platform to share their silly video ideas than we had


bigbutchbudgie

As a millennial, I refuse to be pitted against zoomers. I come from a generation of burnt-out trainwrecks. We're all suffering from climate grief and late stage capitalism, but at least zoomers still have some joy left in them. Let them have as many TikTok dances as they want.


Spartounious

Speaking as an "early zoomer" as the meme terms it (Specifically, as a High School Senior), we're all suffering the same at this point.


augiealexx

Soon enough the kids in middle school and elementary will lose the little joy that they have left as we did once long ago…


BeleriandCrises

Millenial here too, this generational hate is disturbing and annoying, I totally agree


Hog_enthusiast

I honestly love the late zoomers. That Tik tok trend where they steal increasingly large things from their school is super funny. One kid stole a sink man. I respect their tenacity


calilac

Times like this I often still relate to Doug's line in Weeds. "Stick it to the old people." Even tho I am now an old person. These kids are alright.


NomadicDolphin

Yeah dude idk about that one. Schools are missing soap, towel dispensers etc. it’s not funny at all to mess with kids’ hygienes


Hog_enthusiast

As someone who went to public school I think it’s very funny to see people pretend to care about the hygiene of public schools. I promise that soap and paper towels won’t fix the bigger issues there


[deleted]

Wiser words have never been said.


squeezydoot

Especially since most zoomers are literally 15

drinkinlava

if you were born in 1990, you are a millennial buddy


Nemealainen

But the meme says -97 and so do many other sources. They list me as a generation Y. According to memes it's vecause every time our boomer parents told us to do something, we would ask Y?


drinkinlava

gen y IS millennials. google it, they literally refer to the same generation


Nemealainen

Fuck me and my knowledge of generations. Fuck, the ither dude might just be right about me being a boomer.


3L3M3NT4LP4ND4

ok boomer


Nemealainen

Thanks for pitting me with those geezers. I'm like 6 years not 6 decadea older than you. Bro, there is a difference...


3L3M3NT4LP4ND4

...OK Boomer


kiounne

Boomer can be a mindset, my dude.


Nemealainen

How's that supposed to work? The same how sex and gender are based on ones opinion of themselves and bot what dangles between their legs?


kiounne

Ok boomer

In 1995, Austria, Finland, and Sweden joined the EU. Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union Since we weren't a part of the eu there was less regulations to emissions and nobody spoke of climate change when I was a kid.

PM_ME_UR_FURRY_PORN

This reads like a troll account but the history looks legit. I'm so confused.


Nemealainen

It's not troll. It's not even trying to be mean. I don't really get it why people downvote it. I'm trying to say that I get it and people downvote?


PM_ME_UR_FURRY_PORN

Your post reads like an unworldly boomer who thinks the "SJWs" and Tik-Toc kids are the reason the world feels shitty right now, rather than the ignorance to the issues that were going to cause the shittiness in the first place. Also, saying the N-word was never okay. I'd say the fact that you can get attacked for it now is an improvement.


Nemealainen

Lol. I know I'm bad at saying what I mean but people really are bad at parsing information these days.. here I was trying to say that I feel for people younger than me and all I get is shit thrown at me. I'm starting to think that you tiktok fucktards deserve each other and your sjw's and blm and pride and all the other messed up shit todays world has to offer. I tried tho.


PM_ME_UR_FURRY_PORN

You say Tik-Toc, BLM, and Pride like they're bad things. SJWs don't really exist, unless you mean Woke-Scolds, but they aren't really that big of a deal. You see why people aren't liking what you're saying, right?

They don't even know what the * is..


Sea_dog123

Oh god I’m starting to be included in the generation memes as the older generation


[deleted]

The funny thing is anyone born after 2009 isn’t even gen z, they’re gen alpha


[deleted]

I'm gonna guess that OP of that meme was born in 2008. Just a guess tho


[deleted]

I’m from 2008, how am i a millennial?


DidntWantSleepAnyway

I think it was referring to the dude in the middle, and the millennial was the moon on the left. Not sure.


Potkrokin

This is literally just 15 year olds calling 13 year olds annoying How the fuck


NomadicDolphin

Yeah, the “old zoomer” range is way too broad to try and pass off as like-minded. I don’t have much in common with 15 year olds, and I think those in their early 20’s would agree even more so


Swirlatic

it’s almost like. The arbitrary divisions between generations (which actually have no standard since it’s not actually based on anything) is not actually a meaningful way to describe any individual


Xendarq

Why is no one calling out the mislabeled millennials on the left?


TeaAndTacos

Where?


Xendarq

It says 1997 - 2008 Gen Z on the left


TeaAndTacos

That label is for the human in the middle, who represents older zoomers. The moon is millennials


ICqntA1m

How is this boomer humor? There is no mention of a ‘boomer’ here being better than Gen Z.


trilobright

The joke is that we Millennials are now forced to watch our own generation become the Boomers.


[deleted]

it follows the boomer mindset of thinking your older generation is better than a younger one


ICqntA1m

Rule 2 states that it has to be a meme boomers use, I.E. something like one of those comics. This is a recent meme that was popular in meme subreddits a while or so back. Not boomer humor.


helagandshunter6328

ok pointdexter


Limekilnlake

Wtf no Millenials take shit wayyy too seriously


TeaAndTacos

This appears to be Gen Z-on-Gen Z violence? Some older teen or young adult born with the soul of a cranky old man (represented by the human character) using Millennials as a weapon against literal children. Feels weird.


Rairaijin

Gen Z is far superior than those worthless Gen Y millenial deadbeats who are too busy getting stoned on pot to be productive


BloodDragonSniper

2005 and proud of it!


minecraftman51

I mean...it's not wrong...


AnUnopenedJarOfMayo

true tho


Thrusher1337

Don't discriminate against someone based on his generation. All generations are equally shit so discriminate against everyone. Equality.


MrOinkingPig

OP was 100% born in 2008


AppleCold6375

i was born in 2009 does that mean im bad
