I thought it was overly exaggerated but then I saw the generation before me, blame my generation for the problems of the world and the "decadence of society " and then I saw my generation blame the next for those exact same things. Nothing new under the sun I guess.

Idk, from my perspective gen Z, Millenials, and gen X are all united in hating boomers.

There's an old song popular long before any of us were born called "what's wrong with kids today?" about the generation we now call "the greatest".

Iirc there's an old Egyptian poem about how "the kids are no good".

Before there was TV and video games, they used to blame social ills on the kids "reading, instead of living".

Old heads gon' shit on the youngins, it's in our blood

Very true! I love thinking about ancient greeks complaining about "kids these days."

Every generation thinks they're smarter than the one before them and wiser than the one after them.

I think the millennial generation's biggest sin is the sheer volume of "Live laugh wine" and "Rose all day" content and decor.

Well can blamethe state of big tech on Gen X, right?
