Wait I thought boomers raised millennials?
Every generation comes of age in a particular set of material conditions, though.
I see a huge difference in material-condition-based outcomes and opinions from my friends that graduated college before, during, or immediately after the 2008 financial crisis. That’s three distinct cohorts in a span of like 5 years. The standard definition of “millenial” covers 15.
millennials are boomers now
serious answer: yea, gen Z was raised by gen X
millennials are boomers now
:kitty-cri: oh fuck no, does this mean I have to yell at people for wearing their pants too low?
For real though, it feels like the are two sub-generations of millennials and the younger ones are closer to zoomers.
Don’t forget to yell at the kid’s playing on your lawn
Unless you don’t have a lawn, then you can’t be a boomer
Haha yeah :yea: this hits home as a millennial too. It’s turned into “Why do you never visit/ call us?”
family constantly makes fun of me and everyone not present at get-togethers
Why don’t you come over more often?
I never understood the desire to gossip about people unless it’s about complete strangers who will never appear again.
Everyone in my family is constantly engaged in gossip that’s often slanderous about other family members. “Why would anyone date [cousin]? She’s fat! He’s probably trying to get a citizenship.” Then they’ll turn around and smile and pretend to be friendly during parties. It’s disgusting.
I have a cousin who I don’t like, but I don’t talk about it with anybody. He’s changed his appearance drastically and my brother one day just starts talking to me while I’m trying to study. “Hey you talked to [cousin] lately? He’s fat huh?” I reply with “heh, yeah” and go back to studying. Then he keeps going on about how he’s fat or weird looking. I guess this is their idea of bonding lol.
All in all, i don’t ask them about their lives or tell them anything about mine unless they keep asking. And even then I’ll keep information about my life to a minimum. Several times I’ve overheard them talking shit about me because I’m quietly sitting in the other room and they think I’m somewhere else lol. Then when they realize I was there the whole time they’ll just try to laugh it off and say something like “oh we’re so bad! We keep talking bad about you!”
Mine consistently do racist, transphobic and sexist shit specificly to “trigger” me, get mad when I politely tell them to stop or gentley make fun of them for it, blame me for ruining their fun, and then wonder why I never want to hang out.
Like mother fucker don’t dish out what you can’t handle lmao.
If it’s not gossip, they’ll just switch their tones to hostility for absolutely no reason instead of just speaking to each other like normal human beings. I remember being sad that I couldn’t connect with any of them but now I don’t really care.
Reading The Will to Change rn and it’s been a real eye-opener on this shit not just being my imagination for my entire life. People really do not want to hear about your emotions if you’re a man or an adolescent boy.
I got curious and looked it up while listening to music on shuffle. While I read the preface Bread and Roses came on lol
It came up in that /menby/ thread and I decided to read it and tbh it came at the perfect point in my personal development
Profound stuff, but obvious when you stop and think about it
It comes up very consistently when people ask some variation of “men why don’t you talk about your feelings” or “men what do you wish people knew?” On reddit.
Somewhere in the top 5-10 comments will be a couple that say “we don’t have anyone to talk to about our emotional life and even people who say they want men to open up are often totally dismissive or indifferent or even hostile if you try. And after trying and being rejected enough times you give up.”
I thought the shirt said Bob’s boomers at first.
