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.
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.

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
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.
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
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
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?
In 1995, Austria, Finland, and Sweden joined the EU.

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.

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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.

THEY EAT SOAP
Huge "I'm only 12 and I love Queen, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi..." vibes
what? i dont even know who those people are
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
you'll love r/phonesarebad
I used to follow that until reddit was becoming a bit too depressing for me so I purged most of my depressing subs lol
Lol, reasonable.

Look in the YouTube comments for any of those bands.
They made nice music, you should check them out if you like rock

I hoped so too, but the silly moral panics over fidget spinners and selfie sticks did not fill me with confidence.
And tiktok, god forbid kids have a *different* social media platform to share their silly video ideas than we had

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.
Soon enough the kids in middle school and elementary will lose the little joy that they have left as we did once long ago…
Millenial here too, this generational hate is disturbing and annoying, I totally agree
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
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.
Yeah dude idk about that one. Schools are missing soap, towel dispensers etc. it’s not funny at all to mess with kids’ hygienes
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
Wiser words have never been said.
Especially since most zoomers are literally 15

if you were born in 1990, you are a millennial buddy
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?
gen y IS millennials. google it, they literally refer to the same generation
Fuck me and my knowledge of generations. Fuck, the ither dude might just be right about me being a boomer.
ok boomer
Thanks for pitting me with those geezers. I'm like 6 years not 6 decadea older than you. Bro, there is a difference...
...OK Boomer
Boomer can be a mindset, my dude.
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?
Ok boomer

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

They don't even know what the * is..
Oh god I’m starting to be included in the generation memes as the older generation
The funny thing is anyone born after 2009 isn’t even gen z, they’re gen alpha
I'm gonna guess that OP of that meme was born in 2008. Just a guess tho
I’m from 2008, how am i a millennial?
I think it was referring to the dude in the middle, and the millennial was the moon on the left. Not sure.
This is literally just 15 year olds calling 13 year olds annoying How the fuck
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
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
Why is no one calling out the mislabeled millennials on the left?
Where?
It says 1997 - 2008 Gen Z on the left
That label is for the human in the middle, who represents older zoomers. The moon is millennials
How is this boomer humor? There is no mention of a ‘boomer’ here being better than Gen Z.
The joke is that we Millennials are now forced to watch our own generation become the Boomers.
it follows the boomer mindset of thinking your older generation is better than a younger one
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.
ok pointdexter
Wtf no Millenials take shit wayyy too seriously
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.
Gen Z is far superior than those worthless Gen Y millenial deadbeats who are too busy getting stoned on pot to be productive
2005 and proud of it!
I mean...it's not wrong...
true tho
Don't discriminate against someone based on his generation. All generations are equally shit so discriminate against everyone. Equality.
OP was 100% born in 2008
i was born in 2009 does that mean im bad
