The real gen z aesthetic is having a vague memory of Maisy mouse in the back of your head that you’ve completely forgotten about until you see a picture of her and you’re suddenly teleported back to 1999
I just. I don’t like this view of “millennials vs Gen Z”. This is NOT supposed to be a competition of who got fucked over the most and who’s “actually fighting back”.
Millennials are fighting back just by surviving in a job market where the minimum wage doesn’t cover the living cost. Millennials are awesome at “killing” the diamond, golfing and napkins industries. Millennials are using the internet to make sure things that corporations want to keep in the dark are exposed. They’re open LGBTQIA-friendly business, they’re supporting each other with online donations so everyone can survive this shitty economy.
And the Gen Z kids? The Gen Z kids are rad. I remember a post about something like the millennials making a collective promise to never become a disenchanted generation that only criticizes the next one and I want to point out that this “millennials vs gen z” trend is trying to do exactly that: split us apart. Prevent millennials from being the older siblings that teach the younger siblings to throw a good punch and turn them into the annoyed adult complaining about “those kids” on their lawn. We are the two groups that grew in a connected world of information. We are two very unique generations.
I think that it’s our duty for us millennials, as a disrespected, underpaid, very angry generation to stand up by our younger siblings, and fight together the oppressive systems that brought us all to this point.
They’re trying very hard to pit Millennials and Gen Z against each other because I honestly think they’re terrified of what the two will accomplish together.
baby boomers: climate change & bisexuals aren’t real also i’m better than u
gen x: !!! kids these days are spending too much time on the phones!! they’re faking the depression & anxiety !!
millennials: people need to realize the importance of our truths and struggles; rent prices, shitty education, decreased job opportunities, and discrimination, are causing genuine problems among today’s population
gen z: ok i’m ready to eat fruit, be gay, go to the moon, and die lets go fuckers
i don’t really think the relationship between generation z and millennials is comparable to the relationship between baby boomers and millennials
mostly because largely speaking. baby boomers are the parents of millennials but millennials aren’t the parents of generation z
your older sibling telling you you’re an idiot for eating laundry detergent just isn’t the same thing as your parents berating you for not having a job in a shitty economy
I am barely a millennial. Right in between that and the start of gen z. And I swear to god, you millenials better not keep this shaming of gen z up. I watched baby boomers do this to millenials and y’all didn’t deserve it. Do not become the last generation. Challenge your thinking. Just, come on.
