Beware of accounts promoting division between millennials & Gen Z. They’re trying to prevent a powerful political alliance.

[–] Sightline@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Thank you for calling that out. I've saw them do that on Reddit right after the election.

Millennials be like: Let's feed into generational hate we learned from the boomers.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wasnt the millennial hate the first post?

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah when zoomers first showed up to adulthood I remember being surprised when they started ripping on Millennials first (making fun of our love of gifs, single panel memes, Harry Potter, etc.). It was a "what he say fuck me for?" moment and it's been going on ever since.

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Some zoomers are also guilty of generational hate.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

GenZ here like, those things sound great but they also cost money.

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 42 points 3 days ago (11 children)

I don't want a fucken culture war between the generations like what happened with baby boomers. Gen X forward are all fine by me, live your life, be conscientious of other people and where they're at in life, and for shits sakes lets be open to changing our societies based on different generational challenges. The generational wars were always stoked by cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda, fuck em, stop paying them attention.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And this is why my millennial D&D group invites zoomers to join us, no better way to bridge that gap!

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago (4 children)

In my experience Millenials are super inviting to Zoomers, but not the other way around. But that could just be because they are literally slightly more mature than Gen Z.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago

I dunno if it's maturity or just...

Look I interact with a lotta kids, and they are not alright. If you told me a large number of zoomers literally did not know how to invite their friends to real life activities, I would believe you. I've spoken with a lot of Zoomers who are so socially awkward they don't seem to understand a spoken conversation. I feel like we have an obligation to invite them to stuff, just to show them that there is a world off the net that's worth living in.

The shitheads writing the culture war articles and voting for Trump and his kind in greater numbers than the boomers are Gen X.

Key point here: Millennials still make an effort to hang out, outside of the internet. Hoo boy that birth rate is really going to plummet. Lets see how well the capitalist's infinite growth system works when the next 3 generations are smaller then each other. How does retirement work for the proles?

[–] space_iio@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you think capitalism is bad wait until you see what's coming next: neofeudalism

Extremely wealthy few who control everything. No more payment, you'll simply be a serf. No more owning, you won't own anything, all in your life will be leased.

In that world, you have kids because your told to, or else. Individual freedom? What are you a lord? A feudal master?

Not drinking is actually a very good life decision.

[–] corroded@lemmy.world 117 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Old millennial here. Want to drink at home by yourself while I drink at home by myself?

zoomers don't leave the house because the world is currently on fire

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 50 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's been burning since the world's been turning

[–] yesoutwater@lemm.ee 25 points 4 days ago

But we didn't start the fire!

The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I'm amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.

[–] Devadander@lemmy.world 74 points 4 days ago

The kids aren’t alright

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I also feel quite bad for us.

[–] bonuspoints@lemmynsfw.com 36 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I just generally feel bad.

Other millennials go out??

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

Y'know what? There are people in every generation causing clichés and also enough people ranting about others clichés. As long as it's in good humour, that's fine.

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Suddenly realizes no one under 30 goes to the bars he goes to

Holy shit. I never thought about it, really.

I don't go anywhere exclusive or special, really. They're just not fucking there. 😯

Skip the alcohol and go to a modern laser tag arena with friends. Insanely fun. They somehow got the Halo 2/3 announcer over a massive intercom system, and they have similar games. Feels like a match from when we were kids!

I don’t drink because I don’t wanna, and I don’t leave the house often because everything is too expensive. Home is nice and I have everything I need here. I’m basically a mid-40s zoomer I guess.

I was thinking the same thing lol.

Me and a couple buddies got motorcycles over the past year. We're literally going to go for a ride tomorrow, then meet at the local axe throwing range. I've been looking forward to it all week!
