The tendrils of capitalism are tightening on literally everything to the point that the next generations adult lives will be radically different (for the worse) and somehow it's their fault.
i love how this meme is completely legible in english despite not being written in english
The author literally cites just like 4 TikTok accounts and that’s all her evidence. One person on TikTok said “Gen Alpha is just so weird” and takes that as some truism (which, by the way, we had plenty of skibidi toilet type weird shit that grown ups didn’t understand when I was a kid). It’s like those articles that say “People are getting mad about XYZ”, and the article just says “It appears that a lot of people are upset about XYZ” and then it just gives 5 screen shots from random twitter users with 200 followers as “evidence”.
Lazy journalism at its finest. Didn’t know getting a job with the paper in the second largest market in the US was that easy.

The only weird thing about Skibidee Toilet is that it just seems like something that would be popular 15 years ago.
The truly weird stuff are the nonsense videos that play the algorithm for kids.

Probably made by someone who grew up 15 years ago lol
It's basically just SFM videos styled after Gmod content from 10-15 years ago by dudes like kitty0706, dasboschitt, and djy1991
Those are names I haven't heard for 10-15 years
The Idiot Box was the shit when I was 8
Yes, yes Gen Alpha is already doomed, we know.
Capitalism made line go up.
The forbidden line
They're doomed because millennials waste all their money on avocado toast and Tide pods (which they eat).
2008? What happened then?
edit: I looked at the article, and it seriously demonizes literal small children and blames it on millennials.
Demonizing people with less power then them is what old rich white fucks do best

brb going to start a bodega that sells tide pod toast. why hasn't anyone thought of this yet?
How are you going to franchise it, though? You can only build them in New York.
we're partnering with au bon pain to deliver an authentic new york bodega-style tide pod toast experience to millenials of sophisticated taste up and down the atlantic seaboard and across the midwest!
Today’s average L.A. Unified fourth-grader spent half of kindergarten and the entirety of first grade at home, learning the foundations of reading on a Chromebook. By the time that same student returned to the classroom as a second-grader in August of 2021, they had effectively reached the end of formal phonics instruction.
that sounds like a major legitimate problem. should we organize any kind of societal response to remediate this problem?
no, we should quote anonymous complaints from reddit and move on.
The last six months have seen the rise of the newest Gen Alpha stereotype: the Sephora tween. These serum-obsessed 12-year-olds have been filmed plundering beauty stores — spoiling samples, terrorizing grown-up shoppers and hoarding expensive products formulated for mature skin. [emphasis mine]
okay here it is. they always bury the lede. danged kids are buying up my danged face cream! 
Kids have always been an absolute menace in public. Ask anyone that worked in a mall from the 70's-2010.
I got no hate for the new generation and new slang will always sound odd to the older generation. That being said, my nephew used 'skibidi' as a verb recently and it did cause some psychic damage.
My sister told me my nephew was explaining what yeet meant to his step-dad a few weeks ago. They've been trying to keep him off the internet for as long as possible so he's probably oblivious to skibidi.
Skibidi doo da
Millennials are eternally doomed to be the "kids these days" of every conversation.
Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.
Boomers in 1988 were the only coherently identified generation outside of WW2 veterans. They were also called the "Me generation" too.
I'd also point to the "yuppie" phenomenon. Newspapers back then could not stop writing about yuppies coming to destroy property values and how suburbs would all die. It was actually pretty similar to the accusations that millennials kill various industries.
Millennials...
Here's a photo of me now.
You'd think that but I've already seen many articles of millennials whining about how "Gen Z ruined x thing"
I will karate chop anyone I see putting down younger people knowing damn well how we were treated as "Millennials." First of all this shit is all made up second of all if younger people are struggling isn't that just a call to action rather than something to ridicule them for? SHUT THE FUCK UP
Like holy shit how dare you blame millennials for the mess boomers and gen X (and most importantly, capitalism) left us all with.
I can't even afford kids. No excuse for the terror.
lmao they still fucking hate Millenials so much. I wonder if it’s some kind of unconscious guilt thing. I mean Millenials have been basically the most inoffensive generation ever, all they’ve tried to do is advocate for milquetoast socialism and the idea that things should just be a bit nicer for everyone and they have got unrelenting hate for it from day one
We are just so fucking tired can someone pls like us for once 
They hated millenials even before socialism really started picking up. "Millenials are killing x industry!!" went back into the aughties even.
Ok, Boomer.
I noticed that a lot of reactionary boomers are recruiting Zoomers to trash Millennials and literal babies. Age discourse has gotten so ridiculous.
They have a foothold among genz males via manosphere mra andrew tate shit. They're trying to convert that misogyny foothold in the group into full conservatism.
Just from reading the title, I assumed they were lamenting the fact that social murder and climate catastrophe (a facet of the former) would ensure that gen alpha suffers brutally in life, but no, these media dropkicks are still whinging about "MUH MILLENIUELS!!!111!!1"
Millenials are ruining the parenting industry. Its always the same shit from the boomer ass media
gen z and millennials need to form an alliance against the fucking xers and boomers, fuck those people they're basically the same generation, and Zs/Ms are pretty similar in values and material conditions ourselves
xennials choose ur side carefully this is war
Boomers tend to be more reactionary than Xers. Like Xers will watch a lot of TV, but its more south park and daily show and less fox news. A subtle distinction, but there.
To fall into generational discourse, which is propagated by the bourgeoisie to support the interests of the ruling class. This is a twelfth type of liberalism.
