My fellow millennials aren’t giving younger generations the understanding that we carved when we were younger. We’re turning into crochety old people.
Millennials were supposed to do better. We weren’t supposed to be the mean old people blaming the kids for societal problems. But here we are, doing it.
Oh… But I don’t think we are, based on what I’ve seen.
While we do see people falling into being influencers and stuff, things I’m personally disinterested in, I don’t really care so long as they’re trying to do the right thing by people as well. We got blamed for playing video games instead of buying houses and cars, remember?
Everyone makes mistakes as they live, life is dynamic, it’s fine 🤷

Right. And I think that we shouldn’t do the same to the next generation. And I see an uncomfortable amount of exactly that kind of behavior on social media.
I’m a bit confused by your responses. I’m saying “we should be nicer to gen-z” and then you seem to be saying “NO, we should be nice to gen-z”… So I’m not really sure what you’re disagreeing with. Are you saying that we are already being nice enough to them and you disagree that we should be nicer? I don’t really understand.
Haha, trying to make both a PSA and a reply to you results in muddied waters.
When properly split, I’m simply saying that I think most people are cool with each other, gen Z is cool to me as a millennial, and let’s keep grooving.
I would check the other comments, this meme is extremely unrepresentative of any of the interactions I’ve personally had with Gen Z as a millennial. We cool with each other and bonded over the shared bullshit we’re inheriting in my experience and I’m on the older side of millennials
All the interactions I’ve personally had with Gen z have also been great. I love Gen z.
But when I look on social media, I see a bunch of butthurt millennials lashing out because they’re no longer relevant and are being seen as uncool. Gen-z does stuff like call our parenting into question and far too many of us do not respond with grace
Well I ain’t a parent and won’t be becoming one so maybe that’s a blind spot for me but I really haven’t seen a lot of whinging from us online either unless it’s Fortnight related. I have seen some from Gen X and a ton from boomers irl though, I think by and large millennials and zoomers are the two most in sync generations with the most respect for one another
Wdym? I don’t fully get the Z’s, but that’s ok, since it’s what’s happened to every generation before and after.
If you worry about how much TikTok they use or something, talk about it, but with them, not at them.
That’s what I mean.
