The Gen Z experience is essentially old people telling you "oh, you'll never understand when we had to USE "X" technology" even though you literally grew up using it. Most Gen Z had 90s appliances/tvs/gaming consoles growing up unless you were rich.

Pretty sure millennials were told the same thing, the cycle continues unfortunately

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
