The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.
As a millennial, the vast majority of zoomers I’ve interacted with have been cool.
Yeah that’s been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and don’t visibly panic at a “dead inside” joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure won’t get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.
Same, I’m not sure who this meme is really intended for
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.
Is the inheritance of generational hatred depicted here even real? Some of the nicest people I’ve interacted with in my entire life were Baby Boomers. I’ve met shittier Gen Xers and Millennials than Baby Boomers.
It’s all bullshit, just generated for people to hate someone other then the ones they should be.
I’m a really young zoomer and most millenials I interacted with were also really nice.
But there were also a few jerks
We did the work so you don’t have to. 😝
Gen X: “Forgotten again. Whatever.”
Yes, but …
Setting aside the polarized nature of named generations, as a class; for these are entirely arbitrary and designed to create polarization …
I have a theory on the “Gen X are forgotten” meme. Yes yes, you Gen Xers got shafted, here’s a cookie 🍪 Please hear me out.
Most people fall on the cusps of their “generation” and Gen X is no different - in this case, you’re either old enough to identify more with boomers, and are shouting “snowflake millennial” with them; or you’re young enough to identify with millennials, but still too old to identify with Gen Z, so you’re shouting “cringe zoomer” with the millennials, who are cuspers themselves and don’t identify with Gen Z. The quintessential Gen Xer is rare. But you always know when one is around because they are quick to point out that Gen X was “forgotten again.”
The sad thing is that many of the so-called boomers are being replaced by so-called GenXers. And the millennials shouting the same inter-generational slurs will eventually take the throne of generational bully
The only millennials I give a shit about are the ones who made my life painful as they entered the working world and even then, away from the office as long as they are not trying to police speech we are chill.
Gen-X is a much smaller group than either Boomers or Millennials. It is treated differently mostly because of this. I don’t think we’re going to start treating Gen-X as the bully, because it just doesn’t have the numbers to be an effective bully
Came here to say the same thing brother.
As if we want this attention. I’m just gonna go to my empty latchkey home and play Nintendo.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
Thanks for forgetting Gen X. We’ll be over in the corner playing video games. If anyone needs us? Don’t.
Millenials in the coments talking about how the millenials are actualy cool and already stopped generational trauma:
We think we’re Ricks but we’re actually Jerrys.
I, for one, think Jerry is the best. I take pride in accepting a simple life.
I hope that anyone who thinks they’re a Rick spends a lot of time in therapy and on self-reflection, working to change that.
What millennials pick on zoomers, where?
I don’t have a problem with zoomers, but I will make fun of them for using TikTok. It’s an unhealthy social environment. I know a zoomer who struggles with tiktok addiction and always does more poorly after using that app. They’ve been braver and kinder since they quit it.
So instead of building a better platform for them, you denigrate them for conforming to the world you left behind for them.
You are exactly the boomer you claim to hate
So if they’re not going to save the world, nothing they ever do amounts to anything. Worse, the whole thing having worked (the Zoomer quit Tiktok and they feel better now) so that was obviously bad.
And now, and please do mind that has nothing to do with age: Your argument is dumb and you should feel bad.
Feel free to waste your time beating up that strawman all you like; the rest of us have actual important shit to do.
At some point further down in your life you’re going to look back, in regret, thinking “Why did I become the me version of Ben Shapiro”.
And now the projection starts.
Tell you what. I’ll just block you now and you waste my time again never.
I’m not a fan of the tiktok Insta influencer culture and communicating in 90% emojis but other than that it’s all good.
Picking on younger generations is healthy and natural: They’re still figuring stuff out and it’s a good way to give some teachings while everyone has a chuckle. What’s not healthy and natural is leaving them with neuroses where silent expectations, judgements, unwillingness to see their side etc. are the usual weapons: Don’t carry a dagger behind your back, doubly so don’t be unconscious of it, instead, open-carry a super soaker.
Said the dumbass craven bully who needs to pick on people weaker than themselves to feel better
So you wouldn’t pick a snowball fight with a whole primary school because you’re oh so moral, not because you’re scared. Makes sense.
Unlike you I do not, in fact, fear five-year-olds. And it’s not because of fear or principle. It is because I am not a craven, sadistic lunatic who feels the need to harm children to prove a point.
I shall look forward towards your experience report picking that fight with a whole primary school, then.
Gen-x erasure as usual.
Gen-what?
previously known as gen twitter
i disown and disavow all millennials who give zoomers a hard time
zoomers are fucking priceless
gen-α needs the strongest possible start and the best support we can offer
let’s NOT act like those FUCKING BOOMERS.
Zoomers are great and all, but their brains don’t seem to stay on for more than 20 consecutive seconds at times.
Never been called a snowflake or saw someone call another a cringe zoomer outside of toxic online communities.
Get out more, the real world is different
I’m a millennial and I don’t understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Y’all are good people.
I love it; GenX just outside the frame, having our TV dinner, and watching it all go down. We should just change our name to the forgotten generation, or the latchkey generation. Meh. That’ll be forgotten too.
Nah, there was that beanie baby movie. People remember us. Totally.
As an X’er married to a Millennial that fights her Boomer folks, this is the way.
Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.
generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn workers against each other
Isn’t that what this meme is about?
Generational antagonism predates capitalism by about 2 thousand years (of our recorded history)
And it’s always been a cudgel used by the powers that be to distract from the real sources of everyone else’s problems. Funny how that works.
Somebody called Skibidi toilet “the Generation Alpha’s first cultural contribution”.
Gen alpha is using source film maker? I’m not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.
SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that’s not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it’s become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.
Gen Xers: am I a joke to you?
Yes
Yes
The zoomers are calling us cringe
It’s true, we’re so lame
Yeah stop being mean to me
As a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.
I honestly think it’s kind of funny. It’s just so stupid. Reminds me of early YouTube
The plot though, its got plot!
I’m part of the Oregon Trail generation, essentially the border between X and millennial.
I definitely try to do what the meme shows, but I had to post because I’m in my 40s and I recognize the meme because I have a 6 year old.
