Whoever made this comic has never actually seen millennials and zoomers interact. We all cool.
Yeah word.
We are the only generation to acknowledge just how fucked the next generation is regardless of whether they "get a job" or not. We've also experienced enough bald-faced ignorance from previous generations that we have the humility to acknowledge that there might be things as we grow that we just won't understand, and we can tolerate it either way. Or at least that's been my experience among my age group. In fact I've never been more supportive and proud of the younger millennials and zoomers. Our racist octogenary and parent is handcuffed to the wheel and dead set on speeding the car up as fast as possible toward a firework factory and we all in the car calm and holding each other like, "well, we're fucked but they're dying soon and we might have time to hit the brakes".
No kidding I think half my friends are zoomers with a sprinkle of gen x.
As a millennial, the only humans I hate are the rich. The rest of you are cool, even if some of you are dumb as rocks.
Millenial here, I don't hate the rich, I hate the rich who has enough money to treat earning money as just a highscore challange.
I think when most people say "the rich" it's shorthand for super rich like the people you're talking about.
Yeah but a lot of non rich people supported policies and individuals who were just fine with a system that allowed for the Uber rich goofs to exist.
The circle has already been broken, as ~zoomer, the vast majority of millennials I interacted with were really nice people.
As a millennial, the vast majority of zoomers I've interacted with have been cool.
Yeah that’s been my experience as well and I work for a bar. Most of my coworkers in that generation have been easier to get along with, easier to communicate with and don’t visibly panic at a “dead inside” joke. Direct contrast to my last workplace with more millennials/boomers. Ive yet to cop inter-generational shit talking from zoomers so they sure won’t get it from me. Plus look what they did with memes.
I’m a millennial and I love you guys, my aim is to be kinder and more helpful to y'all than our predecessors were to us
Gen Xers have always been pretty cool, as long as you don't expect them to care about much. I get the feeling that the close proximity to the Boomers really took it out of them.
I have a lot of sympathy for them in general and plenty of them are pretty cool, but the product of not caring is that there a lot of selfish asshole xers, I don’t hold it as a rule, but they certainly didn’t try to support or guide us much in my experience
Edit: to be clear when I say predecessors I mean boomers because they are the age group with the most representation in power since I was born
I think boomers to millennials would make more sense. Boomers are so hateful and desperate to keep what was promised to them that they will hold on to it even if it costs 3 generations of people almost everything.
Gen X: “Forgotten again. Whatever.”
We like it that way. If anyone needs us? Don't.
I'm a millennial. I love my zoomer comrades. Even if I don't understand their stuff, I still respect their whole thing and the fact that they're inheriting a different world with different experiences than what I did, which is really all my generation was ever asking for and never received. I feel more like a significantly older sibling to gen z than a do an entire generational step older. We generally agree on a lot of the same shit. They're paying more attention to current events than I was when I was younger, and unfortunately it's kinda more necessary for them to because we didn't do a good enough job at that until maybe 5-10 years ago.
Sorry if I'm wrong and I'm the exception rather than the rule. Keep zoomin', zoomers 🤙
I'm a millennial and I don't understand why anyone from my generation would have a problem with zoomers. Y'all are good people.
I think a lot of the millennial drama is manufactured. The generational drama in general is.
Not that generation gaps don't exist, but generally we're pretty tolerant of each other at the younger/lefter end. Even most of the disagreement around Gaza is more fueled by political position than age imo, once you allowed the newcomers to the conflict the time to get up to speed on it. Which did take a little time. It's kinda complicated.
There are definitely large numbers of people trying to manufacture conflict in pretty much every way they can think of, though. Some bots, some volunteers, probably even some paid people, world is a big place and labor can be cheap. Fortunately Lemmings generally seem to be a harder target.
I love it; GenX just outside the frame, having our TV dinner, and watching it all go down. We should just change our name to the forgotten generation, or the latchkey generation. Meh. That’ll be forgotten too.
As an X’er married to a Millennial that fights her Boomer folks, this is the way.
Somebody called Skibidi toilet "the Generation Alpha's first cultural contribution".
Gen alpha is using source film maker? I'm not down with latest machinina tech but that seems to me like millennials using vinyl. Rad.
As a millennial, I do not understand Skibidy Toilet, but will embrace the weird because it is actual art in its purest form and makes people feel differently in almost every possible way when you see it; renaissance painters would have killed to see people respond to their art the way everyone in contemporary times react to this shit.
i disown and disavow all millennials who give zoomers a hard time
zoomers are fucking priceless
gen-α needs the strongest possible start and the best support we can offer
let's NOT act like those FUCKING BOOMERS.
In these comments it's just more generation vs generation BS. We're attacking the wrong group. Like 10 people have 90% of the money in the world. Someone dancing on Tiktok or being on their phone more isn't the problem.
Never been called a snowflake or saw someone call another a cringe zoomer outside of toxic online communities.
Get out more, the real world is different
Baby Boomers as a generational cohort are well on their way to completely dying off and generational antagonism is a tool of the capitalist class to turn the workers of different ages against one another. Be better than that. Make better memes.
