I hate Gen Z

Dude. I have a group that only talks on Facebook Messenger. It’s 100% Gen X and Millennials. Don’t blame the generation, it just makes you sound like an old man yelling “get off my lawn”.

Exactly. What’s annoying are oblivious people, who are the majority in every single generation.

I’m assuming that they are also Gen Z, with the whole college roommates thing.

I went to college at 29. And it really doesn’t matter how old you are, complaining about a younger generation makes you sound old.

Take it from a Gen Xer who’s heard The Greatest, the Boomers, and my own generation do it 😁

Did you also have just-out-of-highschool roommates though?

Also, fair on the rest of your point. Don’t have to be old to act old.

complaining about a younger generation makes you sound old.

Complaining about any generation, as if it’s a monolith, makes you sound small minded and ignorant. This is as true for older people as it is for the young. Many Gen Zers constantly blame all the world’s problems on Baby Boomers and seems to think all their troubles will magically disappear once the oldest living generation is dead and buried. They’re gonna be real fucking surprised the day they wake up and realize the only thing they ever accomplished socially with all that ageism was to normalize blind hatred of anyone over 40, which will be them before too long.

And, yes, I know that I’m unironically complaining about a generation in this post. Or at least a segment of them.

I had a fucking Nokia brick phone in my 20s and nobody gave a shit what kind of phone I had. Maybe your friends were just…shall we say, not of the quality of person I would desire in members of my social circle.

iDevices are a cult. Same as Facebox, Instapot and TicTac.

Okay. We’ll take that as a given.

I didn’t say they were wrong. I just said they sounded like an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn.

And I stand by that.

ETA: okay, I’ll admit that I might have implied they were wrong. Sorry about that.
