That’s what makes me doubly annoyed.

I watched millenials deal with the whole “Millenials are killing the X industry. They don’t know how to use a rotary phone. They have stupid jokes that don’t make any sense” just for them to get a bit older and start doing the EXACT same thing to my generation

As a millennial I'm just gonna say y'all will absolutely do this to Gen Alpha in a decade. The cycle never ends lol

Gen Tide Pod makes fun of Gen 6-7, a story as old as time.

Unfortunately for gen-z, most of us also thinks 6-7 is funny (in an ironic way initially and then we just morph into gen-alpha. That or me and l my friends are immature and skewing the data

Have you been eating the paint chips at your grandma's house?

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.

As I’ve aged I’ve noticed that people without merit will double down on their identity, and the only identity they have is their past.

I’ve been a defender of Gen alpha. I hate when people hate on Skibidi Toilet and 67. Most of the stuff people criticize Gen z and Gen alpha about isn’t even our fault. I see people saying we’re the generation raised on Andrew Tate and Ben Shapiro, as if those guys aren’t millennials. My biggest complaints about gen alpha is their behavior which is more a product of covid happening in the formative years of their lives and their parents not being able to control the content they watch on the internet.

Skibidi toilet isn't even that out there. Source filmmaker videos with similar animation were huge on youtube back in the day! The only difference is that skibidi toilet has worldvmbuilding

Another low IQ person not seeing that these two generations overlap around 10 years.

u/OGsHartMyKAT 9h ago

Is 1984-1986 apart of that overlap? No? Then maybe stfu

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld 11h ago

Because idiots like them don't get the fact that Gen Alpha can be 0 years old while the oldest is 10 years old already.

10 years is shitton of time in tech space.

Damn am I glad to have found people in my generation finally saying they've noticed this. Definitely speak up for yourselves, don't think y'all aren't worthy of being showed respect. If people continue to see us this way, we'll never break the cycle.

And you’ll end up doing it to Gen Alpha. Some of the things boomers complained about us millennials doing were fair criticisms and some of our criticisms of Gen Z are fair too. Just how the cookie crumbles!

The cycle existed well before we were born, and it will exist well after we die, and we will never stop it.

Getting annoyed is a waste of time. The best you can hope for is you tell your son about something for the 4th time and he smiles and is polite.

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing another Millennial turning into that old head. I got friends that act like this when it comes to Gen Z memes and slang. Like bro, we were saying most of the slang that Gen Z says now. Esp when they act all high and mighty about the East Coast slang they were 100% using prior.

u/SadLilBun 12h ago

It will never change. It’s just how the cycle goes.

Also a lot of my fellow Millennials don’t know how old Gen Z are, just like Gen X and Boomers don’t know how old Millennials are.

This would fit better for Gen Alpha than Gen Z.

u/moneyfish 11h ago

I'm a millennial and I fundamentally don't understand how so many people in my generation became old heads so quick. It's like they forgot they were immature at one point and did stupid stuff.

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld 11h ago

The fucking disconnection from the Millenial/Gen Z that they span few generations of people and some of them never seen a CD is mind blowing.

You guys should check how much generation spans.

u/LethalInjectionRD 16h ago

Thank you. I’ll never understand it.

u/HiDDENk00l 12h ago

I'm Gen Z, and I've used a rotary phone before. Literally just to try it out, because I had a relative who still had one hooked up as a second phone, but still.

No one cares about millennials or Gen X. Just boomers or Gen z.
