Zoomers aren't living in their generation, making up their own shit. We you say shit like 2000s, 90s, 80s etc you can exactly pinpoint the fashion, the trends etc, but with zoomers? They don't have anything, their wardrobe is just shein shit that mimics other fashions, except we were hardcore on it. In my days, calling yourself "emo" would be considered being a fake emo or a poser, because other people had to see you as emo, not yourself lol

By the purity standard that millennials here subject zoomers to, millennials haven't created anything either because "millennial" subcultures have also reimagined or borrowed elements from previous generations, or were technically started by generation X and were simply maintained by millennials.

Was it shitty? Yes. But was it uncanny and porny? Heck no. In fact, that wasn't for enhancing feature or being attractive, it was for having fun. Sex Work Culture fried a lot of zoomer brains, thinking they're sexually liberated when they're just young and its creepy

I've also noticed gen z had a huge wave of people claiming they're vampires, witches, etc. This definitely happened with teens before but what's going on?

I don't even care about cottagecore, egirls, etc. I know it's not their fault though since they just eat whatever they're fed which ofc is just consoom, fandom, you're totally a mythical creature/practicing witchcraft, ddlg/kink and the bizarre divide between gen z being bullied into having extreme body proportions or else they're flat/underdeveloped but also being talked into gender dysphoria and having to flatten everything down.

I do hope a lot of zoomers will grow out of a lot of this bullshit. They don't understand that they have essentially immortalised every essence of their cringey ways. At least a lot of us has no means of posting ourselves or were born in a time where people were more cautious of posting their identities.

>>1066749Same. Used to be, you didn’t tell anyone you watched anime or advertised it by wearing pins or shirts, because you would get ridiculed. On one hand it’s great anime isn’t as stigmatized, but the anime that’s out nowadays is more coomerish, and no one seems ashamed of showing their degeneracy anymore. If someone wore an ahegao shirt back then, they would be ostracized and bullied. Nowadays it’s “cool”, and it disgusts me seeing people wear that shit in public.
Ironically, back then there were some people that misunderstood that all anime was hentai and would think watchers were creeps. Now all anime is very pornified and it seems no one actually has a problem with that, it’s actually “aesthetic” to have ahegao and sexualization.
No. 1066859
>>1066842I think shows like Euphoria are purposefully trying to make zoomers, most who are minors, more sexual. Sperg, but this trend of objectifying bodies and sexualization really only benefits males, and gives them the benefits. You don’t see the majority of boys making ahegao or objectifying themselves. By having shows like Euphoria “normalize” risky behavior, the more teens are going to think that’s just how it is. There’s a creepy agenda being pushed.
I wanna add that sexualization is probably one of the quickest ways a girl or woman can get attention. It has always been like this. However, it seems no one has taught (or wants to teach) zoomers why this attention can be negative or where it stems from. It’s constantly pushed by media, and reinforced by places like tiktok.

Based thread, hopefully it won't devolve into self-flagellating not like other zoomers and vice versa zoomers crying and yelling at how it's actually millenials who ruined the world with zero understanding of recent history.
>>1066317As a millenial from late 80's, I remember a lot of people flaunting their mental illnesses in the early 00's as well so it's not a recent thing. Young people have always been overdramatic but how I see it it's become a mean of escaping responsibility and gaining authority rather than just seeking for attention.
>>1066373Basically. Subcultures have disappeared as they've been reduced into aesthetics to wear as a costume, not a lifestyle you believe in. It's intertwined with
>>1066343 , social media and late stage capitalism has made it so that it's seen as old-fashioned to dedicate yourself to something bourgeoise like an alternative style that brings you a sense of belonging instead of filling that void with activism. Before you could get your sense of purpose from being a part of the local goth scene and contributing to that, now it's about outrage over human rights. A cause that has been equally commercialized in the form of pride flags and stickers you can buy at hot topic.
I don't even blame zoomers themselves for this, it's been mentioned in other threads but it's Gen X that took what millenials started and monetized its aesthetics to peddle for the younger generation. I know retarded gen zrs accuse millenials of starting the tranny trend for example but any one of us can tell you that that shit was directly leaking down from degenerate Gen X coomers. All of the big troon influencers and millionaires funding the lobbying are Gen X and some legitimate boomers. Millenials don't own shit, we have no authority or power to conduct any big illuminati scams.
>>1066524>zoomer terfs suck, it's just another aesthetic to themAgree. A lot of the spergiest and most unreasonable "radfems" on this site are obvious zoomers who are only into it because of the based manhating girlboss aesthetic.

>Porn addiction, sex work, sex positivity, etcThis was heavily pushed by millennials and Gen X. Gen X dads always pushed their sons to sleep around and watch porn, older generations were often the ones grooming young girls into sex work and the kink community as well as actively praising and glorifying girls who acted as sexual as possible regardless of age. Now they're lying to girls claiming they'll make millions from onlyfans just to get cheap nudes from any girl they choose and those girls are scraping pennies. I also remember porn addiction being encouraged as funny and quirky

It's hard to tell who's to blame in this situation but millennials encouraged this behavior as well. Millennial men are definitely guilty of pushing this on Gen Z girl
The only
valid complaints are TikTok nonsense, phone addictions, and "-core". "Cores" aren't even that big of a deal imo. Even then that could be debatable due to the fact it was millennials and Gen X who decided to push everything to be online to the point where you would have to have a Facebook or something in order to be considered normal, not to mention school, career, etc is becoming very social media involved too. I remember when I was applying for colleges in 2015 a lot of the essays asked for things based around social media like "what hashtag are you" and I was also told that have a popular and clean social media account looked good to colleges and employers. Are you going to tell me Gen Z, who were all 15-18 at the time, did this?

If genz wants to distance themselves from gendershit they have to fight a whole generation behind them, which has greater numbers, influence and political power

>>1066373This is really the main thing I dislike about zoomers. Capitalism combined with social media has rotted their brains. Social media has become so much more about ourselves than it is our shared interests, they've become their own product and sell themselves to get clout. Our brains can't process more than 1000 or so people as their own individual persons, let alone tens of thousands of people viewing you on the internet and reacting to you. That's got to do some damage to the developing brains of teenagers and I don't have hope for how they'll turn out.
That being said, aesthetics are just shallow. That's it really. It's stupid to change your style so often to fit this insanely fast trend cycle, get your own style, stop wasting clothes.

>>1067058sage for blog posting but I remember being a teenager in the early 2010s and every time I would go clothes shopping I would have a breakdown because everything was so ugly and cheap looking. The financial crisis really destroyed the fashion market for a good few years there. But I would always tell myself when I got older I'd put enough money aside to buy nice quality clothing.
Now I live in a great city with a lot of cheap but good quality op shops and I'm not spending nearly as much on a decent wardrobe with quality, stylish pieces. I think growing up around that time and having clothes literally fall apart on you when all I wanted was good clothes that last really made me consciously choose clothing now. I look at the fabric type, consider how well it goes with the rest of my wardrobe, check the brand. The result is clothes I've had for years that I treasure. This is something I'll just never get about gen z. Don't you want clothing that lasts? A style that is uniquely you? Do you really need to change your aesthetic every 2 months?

Low rise jeans, jutting out hipbones and a hint of a gstring was the trinity. Few grown women could maintain the level of skinniness that was required for that look.
I remember the playboy bunny logo appearing on bed sheets for little girls rooms. I remember my mom dragging me out of a store once because this kids shop had a t-shirt with a shinx cat on it and some text like "you like muh bald pussy?" Teens back then were getting most of their sex and dating advice from monthly magazines. Shit marketed at us was pretty sexual but then we were weirdly naive about the fact that dressing that way won't only attract the attention of age approariate boys. Like I feel old but I remember a friend passing around that months issue of cosmo and us skipping to the agony aunt pages to try and hopefully learn something about sex or how our own bodies work.

This is a old millenial looking at zoomers take or maybe its more looking at how society has changed.
One thing I always find really weird and jarring is the idea of wanting to be punk or goth, it feels like its become a brand or clothing you can buy from a store now, everything is a product and made for consumption, the music,the views etc don't matter.
zoomers treat everything as a core,style,aesthetic and I wonder if its more enjoyment about being into something before it blows up rather than being into something for enjoyment sake.
also a vibe I get is a basic idea of
>If I say these words or lines or follow these rules then I am a good person
its easier to look out than within so im pretty ignorant to millenials flaws besides depression and harry potter.
everything for zoomers feels like you can't like it for what it is, it has to have some form of poltical, snappy critique , wokeness, lgbtq esque style to it, like empty yass queening or hating white people (white americans hating white americans).
>social media really fucked us all up but you were all raised with it from birth we at least had a few years without it being at the fore front of society

Most of cottagecore fits look like traditional folk clothing from my rural area and tbf, zoomers aren't the first ones randomly thirsting over rural lifestyle, it's been a thing since the 17th century. A lot of richer city people end up buying vancancy homes in the countryside for that reason, it's a bit annoying because it can gentrify a whole ass town.

Younger millenials and zoomers were both fucked over by prior generations. At least older millenials had a childhood without the internet, but everyone past that don't know an existence without the internet, smartphones, and social media which is a fucking hellscape I can't imagine. Millenials also absolutely got shafted by the 2008 recession and have never recovered. Many still cannot afford to live independently, and it's looking like zoomers will be in the same boat with everything happening in the world.

Gen X are more nihilistic and consoomeristic than Boomers, they were the first to grow up with mass marketed and mass produced crap. They are "anti-establishment" while mindlessly following the status quo. The uniting culture among them is shopping addictions. Gen X were the "culturists" and due to their contributions to art/music/media are more likely to cling to youth and being "cool" (most of those cringey older people on TikTok are gen X). Due to their latchkey upbringing, the first gen to spend childhoods in front of the TV, many have pathological attachments to corporate products and brands of their youth (Pizza, Star Wars, TMNT, MLP, you get it). This is why 80s/90s nostalgia has a thing for the past 20 years, they cannot let it go. Gen X moms were the first helicopter parents (so wounded by their lonely childhoods they feel compelled to hover around their own kids to overcompensate).

material gain.
I didn’t claim anywhere that was standard to be married with kids at 26, wtf are you talking about?

>>1085867NTA but as a millenial I never felt there was as much pressure to look
young as opposed to
hot as there is for zoomers. I've noticed that a ton of gen z girls are gravely terrified of aging and think that not looking like a neotenous babyface equals being a grandma. I never saw that among my peers when I was in my early 20's, sure people were concerned over not being skinny enough or not having big enough breasts or smooth enough skin etc., but nobody was concerned about not looking like they're 16 anymore. And there wasn't that much hostility against people in their 30's either, now I see zoomers constantly acting as if 30-year olds are out of touch with reality middle aged boomers ruining the planet and once you turn 25 you might as well die.

>>1085950The whole plastic surgery and photoshop thing isn't as new as you think. I'm about to be 28 and I've been told by some of my doctors to get a boob job because I was too flat when I was a teenager completely unprompted, plastic surgery started being more advertised to young millenials as a whole, and I remember seeing many reports on TV about how photoshopping was being more and more common on actual ads and that, at least in my country, some activists were trying to make it mandatory for companies to explain if filters and photoshopping was done on the ads, and thankfully they've succeeded.
Actually what I've noticed is that as soon as actvists managed to make companies use less tricks to make younger millenials buy their shit products and make them more insecure, said companies and then influencers started targeting zoomers because they became easier targets thanks to social media as opposed to traditional media like TV, magazines, posters, etc. Basically, what you're talking about already started way before when you think it started and then made a come back for a slightly younger generation.

Zoomer pop culture is all about how cool it is to be unique, diverse, different, how we need to accept people, how make up is bad you should instead consoom skin care, how you can't call someone fat or ugly and the commercials are intended to be "empowering". There's that comparison of a commercial from the 90s where a woman forgets to shave her legs and suddenly she's an ugly fat man vs that modern commercial where young attractive women show that they also have armpit hair, but you can deal with it if you make that choice kek
No. 1086066
>>1085934NTA and I agree. None of my peers ever said anything about being sad that they're aging, maybe they'd worry about having children in time but never about youthful beauty fading. I expect the age worrying to start once people hit 35+, not now in our mid-late 20s. And zoomers already worry now in their teens.
When I hang out at student parties where younger people (18-23) are, you can pretty much hear how pressed they are about age - everyone constantly asks everyone about age, talk about it and so on. 'How old are you?' is the most common question. And they can never tell I'm older and moids usually think I'm younger than them. I look my age, light wrinkles and all so for being so freaked about aging, they're pretty bad at detecting it. Or maybe media made them think you really shrivel up once you hit 25.
I think zoomers are an okay generation but I feel really bad for girls who are made to obsess about their youth.
You know, the only thing that you will inevitably lose… You might not lose your beauty but you will only be young for a short time.
No. 1086483
>>1086066Obsessing over fake asses and fake tits is one thing but I do feel bad for zoomers for being made to obsess over the natural aging process because that's pretty much impossible to slow down, unless you smoke two packs a day and spend your time in the sun around the clock without sunscreen it really boils down to genetics how you age in general. Skincare helps only a tiny bit. And not only that, the current standards for youth are literally 15-16. You're supposed to have this poreless glass skin with childlike facial features but also either a plastic ass with fake tits and drag queen makeup or heroin chic level skinny with OTT lip fillers.
I often think about that miserable anon in the celebricows thread who tinfoils that Billie Eilish must be secretly 30+ because she zoomed in to some of her unedited red carpet shots and she had "fine lines" around her eyes. People now have such a warped fucking view of aging and beauty standards in general due to teenagers being pushed as being at their prime.
No. 1086521
>>1086483Honestly I think they're just really bad at telling the actual age of people. But maybe it's not a zoomer-specific thing but more of a teenager thing.
And yeah I agree that the ideal now is 15-16. That's how most girls edit themselves to look. Damn, do you think it's gonna get even younger? The 'lolita' cute child pedopandering? Or the next gen will totally change it as a pushback of sorts?
It biologically makes more sense to have the ideal of beauty be around 30 than around 13 so hopefully it won't get even worse.

In the case of women, it really often comes down to styling and body language when you're in your 20s and 30s. I've met people who can pass as high schoolers because they don't wear make up and still use backpacks, and I've met people who could pass as middle aged librarians.
>>1086521But the thing is that the ideal is not 15-16. Real teenagers have that clumsy vibe about them because they're still figuring themselves out, what I see being popular on tiktok is teens who act like college students. My sister is 19 and I can see that she's a teen even when she puts on make up, she needs filters to give her face that "mature" look.

>>1086573The point was some crazy anon tinfoiling that Billie Eilish is actually in her mid 30s because "no 20 year old has fine lines like she does in this ultrazoomed photo" because many people think you have smooth porcelaine baby skin until you turn 25 and then just crash and burn into mummydom. Not how she's styled.
>>1087311Of course young women have always been considered more attractive but the scale was much wider before. Nobody thought a woman aged 28 or 32 was "old". Only when she was nearing her mid 40s would she be considered "older". If this shit doesn't stop at some point soon 12-year olds will be considered the ideal beauty.

I miss when there was such a thing as "normality". Echo chambers couldn't be insulated properly back then, and were constantly exposed to criticism by an ocean of "normal people". To be one of the normals, you didn't have to have the same opinions or tastes as them, you just were assumed to be one automatically, no entry requirements or ideological strings attached. It was a default, Zen state of being. You could go off and become an obsessed die-hard spokesperson or believer of some specific thing or issue, but ultimately normality was so prevalent and overarching that you'd always end up self-reflecting and thinking "wow, I really got hung up on this one silly thing pretty hard, when there's so much more to the world" and returning back home to relaxed, carefree normality.
Negative echo chambers, elitist trends, pity parties, etc. would become embarrassing phases in people's pasts. Positive and fun trends and movements would go down as nostalgia staples. But they used to be just that, phases. Now it seems like the first thing you latch on to, you have to insulate yourself into it permanently, or you have to jump ship to another group and burn your bridges. And the things trends form around nowadays seem so much more Machiavellian, "do what the other people here want, or you don't belong" rather than the old days of "you belong, if you enjoy the same things as people around here"

Someone born in Wyoming will have a completely different life than someone born at the same time in New York.
No one outside of America belongs to any of these groups, and I'm annoyed the rest of the world sort of adopted the terms when it has nothing to do with us.
One group is even called "baby boomers" because of the abnormally high amount of babies born in the US, after soldiers came back to the US from war.
What the fuck does that have to do with my country that had nothing to due with that war in any way, had no such baby boom, and is on the other side of the world in a different culture with different values? You can't actually say "turkish boomers" or "afghan zoomers" and have it make sense.

Mid? Millennial here (1990), Zoomers don’t bother me much. They’re really young, so I don’t think it’s fair to judge yet, plus they’re playing off stuff that the millennials started, being that we were here first, so I can’t blame them for accelerating what was already set in front of them. I just can’t find it in me to get so mad at them?
I’m in a tiny fandom and it’s entirely full of zoomies (I can’t really understand why, show and characters are old as shit) Besides the off the chart gendershit, they’ve all been really nice people.

I know the reason why the PS2 was so successful was because it was a way cheaper DVD player compared to anything else in the market and it could play a bunch of excellent video games, but that didn't convince them either. It depends on each household basically. For instance I had my first smartphone in 2014 in my second year of university because we were poor, but I remember when my very rich classmates in middle school in 2007 bought the very first iphone day 1 to get rid of their ipods. Technology was progressing so fast in such a short amount of time not everyone born the same year will have the same experience at all.

i know this thread is about zoomers but can we talk about the forgotten middle children, the zillennials? too old for gen z, too young to technically be millennials except for certain years like back in 2016 when suddenly everyone remembered the people born 1993-95 ish. when every murdoch owned news station started ranting about us slapping avocado on toast and us not popping babies out like rabbits or buying our first homes or getting our first corporate jobs in our early 20’s like they did? we’re the gen who can never fit in because we remember all the trends like emo, scene, and goth but were just too young to really appreciate it before it died down. we grew up with tech enough to understand it, but we can also remember times where we went without it. some of us were online as preteens during the early days of big social media giants and the death of others like myspace, so we are the ones who are most nostalgic for web 2.0 because we caught it at its peak but were around to watch it fall as well. it’s like we are constantly getting the dregs of every generation but have nothing that really defines us. i remember we were the gen that the whole autism/asperger panic really started to take hold especially in the us and uk, and a lot of us were the ones who were turbo autistic about anime (japanimation back then) because it was surging in popularity and we weren’t exposed to traditional western cartoons as much. it’s just weird because no one ever talks about us and we can never seem to connect with anyone. boomers hate us because a lot of us are loners due to our upbringing, zoomers hate us because we don’t really give a fuck about all
their cores or whatever, millennials bullied us and never accepted us into their cliques because we were weird to them, so we’re just there, stewing in the corner. you don’t even see a lot of us online, it’s always 30+ year olds or 12-18 year olds. i often wonder where we all
are but then remember i haven’t had a social media account since i was like, 12? way back in the mid 2000’s and this seems pretty on course for a lot of zillennials.

>>1131832Nah the generational difference, in my opinion, is if youtube existed in your "childhood". If youtube didn't exist in your childhood but showed up in your adolescence/teen years/young adulthood you're millennial, but if you, as a CHILD watched youtube video or can't vividly remember life before youtube existed, you're a zoomer. There is no zillennial. It's a hard line but various by individual/geography.
Another one I like less but still kindof agree with is 9/11. If you have vivid memories of 9/11 and had some degree of "opinion" about it, even if that opinion was something silly like "oh god we're going to have a world war 3" then you're a millennial. Otherwise you're a zoomer.

>>1131832You just sound like a young millennial to me tbh. I was born in 1994 and I relate to a lot of this except for a couple things (like I definitely was around for the peak of the emo/scene fad). I don't relate to every little thing about millennials but I don't think anyone does. For example I remember myspace at its peak, but at that time (when I was 11-14) I was technically too young to be on myspace (you had to be 14 to make an account, I lied about my age). But most of my peers did not have myspace because there parents wouldn't let them have it. By the time I was technically old enough (2008) myspace had mostly died and everyone had moved to Facebook.
Also I was 7 during 9/11 and don't remember it at all. I do remember the fallout though (well, not really, I just remember the crippling anxiety from it because I was raised religiously and thought the world was gonna end). And I thought when Fox News was mad at young people spending too much money on avocado toast and not buying homes etc they were specifically targeting millennials.

>>1132679Still French anon here, I was born the same year. We used Skyblog
the ultimate cringe instead of Myspace. Maybe older French people used Myspace but everyone started using FB after that as well and it was seen as a thing for teenagers and young adults back then. I only made an account in 2016 because of uni but from what I've seen before that I'd say the shift of demographics using FB was very sudden. Now it's all boomers and all the young adults who made accounts a decade ago at least have deactivated their accounts or stopped updating them long ago. btw, Tiktok is seen as that app for zoomers but now I wonder how many people remember when it was called musical.ly or something similar and when it was only advertised as a lipsynching or karaoke app. Nobody gave a fuck about it at the time.

>>1132316no i totally agree, i just get confused sometimes because i feel more like a millennial than a zoomer, but i remember when old farts were pushing millennials up into 1979 all
the way into 2001 in the mid 2010’s when the culture wars started taking off, and 30 year olds i went to university with were telling us that unless you watched thundercats or whatever cartoons they liked as a kid, you weren’t a “true millennial!”. and now that zoomers are the new social pariah, i get lumped in with them despite being in my late 20’s since old people are retarded. i constantly have to remind them that yes, i know what cash/change is, rotary phones, dial up internet, aol, how to read an analog clock, or something else that their grandkids don’t know how to do or aren’t as familiar with. i remember i was at the bank a couple of weeks ago and the clerk made this condescending remark about me being able to write in cursive and i had to remind him that i am a lot older than i look and i could hear his brain sizzling in confusion behind his mask. it’s just seems like people have this weird memory hole from the mid 90s and assume we are either freeloading slackers or technical prodigies.

https://www.reddit.com/r/deathnote/comments/kv47po/lawlight_is_not_a_good_ship/Zoomers are insufferable. I'm glad that they can tell predatory relationship dynamics IRL but them moralfagging about fandoms makes me want to send them to detention. Those 2 adult characters are so unrealistic, you could change the age of either and it would not change shit (beyond maybe some small plot details, IDK). Their age difference doesn't play into any dynamic, in story or fanon content (I assume).

Zoomers are so phone-addicted, self-centered, and socially terrified. The MALE zoomers act like scared women in 70s crack-land NYC and put their backpack on the bus seat next to them so no one touches them, even when the bus is absurdly full. They always have earbuds or headphones and their stupid little phone is always always always in their greasy little hands. They dress like grubby overly-sexual rats and act like frightened goblins. The female zoomers don't even wear shirts, they just run around in a bra. The male zoomers all have that mulatto perm. I saw a zoomer in a korn shirt the other day with those black pants with the huge fashion chains like he fell out of 2003. They're also really dumb and don't know how to do anything, even though they have a fucking smartphone glued to their sweaty little palm and could look it up in 2 minutes. They can't speak proper English or spell correctly, they seem to "read" a lot of books but none of them can spell basic words, so they're either just watching the movies, reading the sparknotes, or only taking selfies with the cover and then saying they read it to posture. They're really bad with money and can't do anything for themselves. If you look at /r/personalfinance (yes we all hate reddit, I know) it's full of the dumbest fucking shit you could imagine all from zoomers, things I would expect a 12 year old to know. It's like they need permission to have common sense. And they're all really fake trend-hoppers. They're constantly seeking affirmation and are massively insecure.
Mostly I'm mad that they do not move the fuck over on the bus. I'm going to just start shoving their backpack off the seat to give them a lesson in manners. 0/100 chance they would even say anything, the terrified little shits would just sit there sweating anxiously. I have never seen a zoomer actually speak to a stranger, even the 20+ year old ones. It's like they need their mommy to hold their hand for everything. And the corona stuff has destroyed them. If anyone gets within 6 feet of them they piss their pants in sheer terror. I live in a crowded city and they need to get out of my way and deal with it.

There’s no Tiktok general for me to post this but this particular Zoomer (lordazothmain/sagemainirl) keeps going after creators just for doing ulzzang/dolly makeup. Her latest stunt is harassing some 17 year old from Mexico over some shitty makeup, being racist and then saying “but my friends who are (insert race here) said it’s okay!” while blaming it on a speech impediment. It’s gotten to the point that the moment I see call out videos like this, I just turn my brain off and block the user. I want to know how much free time a person has to be going on and on about how a person is doing their makeup a certain way but give passes to others to do the same shit. Zoomers are so brain dead and puritanical about the most benign things that they are just becoming fake woke boomers that will go after anyone that they don’t like. It’s hilarious to see them be so politically correct that they end up being racist.

>>1102817>unable to engage in unstructured activityI thought I was nuts for a while but I can unfortunately corroborate most of this. Chose to go back to school (never finished bachelor's, changed fields, etc) and a good majority of classes are filled with zoomers. I notice a lot of these issues creeping in, that one being painfully apparent. The amount of whining and complaining - borderline email-bombing the professor demanding clarification - over a short write-up assignment with basic instructions, was beyond me. They took issue with there "not being a clear syllabus" when instructions were given to us VERY clearly early-on for the entire course. What the fuck hand-holding do they possibly need over a 4-page MAXIMUM short technical paper? No presentation, no rhetorical requirements, no opinion piece. Just cite mechanical engineering journals, summarize the arguments, conclude. That's too hard, apparently. Holy fuck. Everybody 25-30 or so had zero issues outside of formatting or common grammatical mistakes.
Not to mention a good third of the zoomers failed to turn in final assignments on the deadline provided, to the point of bragging about it. They were given a week extension because of how far behind they were. At this point, I'm convinced the younger they are, the less capable they are of abstract thought.

Of course, everyone dismissed it as just a millennial boomer ranting about kids these days, but I have excellent memory and I sure as hell don't remember any children acting the way these kids do.
I've also noticed a weird phenomenon of parents being overprotective yet not actually parenting at all. The same playground where I would play by myself with my friends was now filled with children and their parents, with kids being instructed what to do by their moms ("Let's go on the swing! Do you want to swing?") and barely interacting with other children. At the same time, the parents seemed tired and annoyed that they have to be there. These were not toddlers who could barely walk, these were preschool-age kids.
I've noticed something similar with my cousin - her son is literally not allowed to be bored. She will dangle screens and toys in front of him all day or put him to do 'stimulating sensory activities' or whatever the fuck so he can grow to be the next Albert Einstein, but he's never allowed to be bored and play by himself because that's too dangerous and he'll break something. At the same time, she whines and whines how it's super hard being a mom, she's sometimes even passive-aggressive to her child, but it's not his fault. She literally just won't back off.
I was raised by a neurotic helicopter parent and I feel so bad for these kids, at least my mom allowed me to go outside and play by myself.

Like other anons have mentionned, I'm tired of everything being turned into an "aesthetic", especially when they transform the whole essence of that said aesthetic to fit their fast fashion/makeup desires. I was born in 1997, I remember what was trendy and viral in the 2000s and it feels really sentimental to have some of these elements become trendy again but I despise the instathot/tiktok zoomer shit they associate with it. It feels so fake. They didn't grow up with these movies or music, how can it make them "nostalgic"? Half the viral tiktok sounds are old songs sped up, the "y2k" fashion has never been real y2k fashion in the first place but more like "I don't wanna wear skinny jeans and regular tops anymore", the egirl/emo era they all had has magically disappeared after quarantine even when they claimed they were hardcore alt and builled for it lol. I know most of them are young and looking to find themselves but they spend so much time and money on stuff they will throw or sell away once they hop on something new, it's so sad

My younger sister is the walking embodiment of tumblr/twitterfags who constantly go "I'm a literal child!".

Most would categorize me as a Millennial, as I was born in 1985. (People sometimes use a separate subgeneration between Gen X and Millennials, and I often get thrown into it.) While I agree with the nonna upthread who finds generational categorization rather arbitrary and stupid because so much of it really doesn't apply to much of the world and is very generalized for those it applies to, I still see some things I see younger people do that is kind of weird to me.
One of the things I notice is how a lot of Zoomers seem to scare so easily. I've seen so many of them mentioning about how something out of kids' shows is so scary. I don't mean something they watched as a young child, but were scared by it, but rather, them first watching that show when they were teens and being scared by it. I mean things like seeing a Sesame Street skit or going on and on about how dark Steven Universe is. There have always been people who scare more easily than others, but there feels like a larger proportion than there once was.
Also, I see a lot of living vicariously when it comes to Zoomers and interests. I've seen a lot of Zoomers say that they're a big fan of a video game, but all they have done is watch livestreamer play through it. I get it that not everyone has to be a superfan of something, but this feels like the very opposite. And they don't seem to do this to save face or fear of missing out, either.
Zoomers seem to pass off sharing and repeating the same damn meme and joke over and over as top humor, too. I know that every generation has had its share of memes and certain repeated jokes, but again, the issue seems to do with putting minimal effort into anything and the sheer volume of it. I can't think of how many times I've seen a stupid meme comment on YouTube liked thousands of times and who knows how many repeats of that same comment in the same comments section. There's so little variation, and you feel beaten over the head by it. It feels like just repeating this crap at ad nauseum is what makes it funny to them.
I do agree with some others who say that Millennials had to deal with sexualization of things and themselves at a young age, too. But a huge difference I feel is that Millennials had a degree of naivete about this that Zoomers lack. For instance, Zoomers outright know about who knows how many kinks that are out there and BDSM bullshit, whereas Millennials at that same age were less likely to know about those things, and those who did still only knew of them at a very base level. Even more basic sex stuff seems to have been more thoroughly understood by Zoomers at a younger than than Millennials. And this seems to go beyond Zoomers who are chronically online, too.

>>1286004I dress like this, kek, but only because it’s affordable and accessible. Thrifted oversized men’s shirts and straight vintagey jeans. I realize I must look like something between a GTA protagonist and any male main character of a foreign Latin film in the 1980s but I do not, unfortunately, have enough money to be able to dress how I want.
Also, I don’t think the millennials here realize how lucky they were and are. So much better quality clothes were at your disposal: now all you have is polyester that literally comes apart in your hand when I take it off the rack. I remember one anon said that walking in the mall had become weird for her, since all the kids are dressed in 90s fashion that’s not really accurate 90s fashion at all, with cheaper fabrics and weirder cuts; this is true, what we have now is this strange simulacrum of vintage, throwback trends that bear little resemblance to actual past trends. It’s like someone with bad eyesight took their glasses off, looked at 90s/00s magazines, and decided to start a trend of what poor imitations they could make out through the blur. And it’s not like everybody has access to good quality thrift stores, that’s only in certain places. In other parts of the world thrift stores only have fast fashion since that’s all there is. Not like you’ll be coming across a Mary Quant or something.

>>1296325>I've seen so many of them mentioning about how something out of kids' shows is so scaryI think it's less that they're geniunely scared of American cartoons for children, and more that they enjoy them but feel the need to justify themselves. "Ooh, this show isn't just a silly baby cartoons for babies! It's actually deep and scary and serious!! Even adults could watch Steven Universe and Voltron and be amazed by the story-telling and scary plot twists, when you think about this scene and that scene's implications!!1!" I'm not sure that's exclusively a zoomer thing, because it reminds me of 90s American cartoons for kids that have dick jokes for the parents, and when the kids who are adults now rewatch them now they're surprised or even shocked by all the dick jokes they missed. I'm not sure how to describe it so I hope I did it well.
>I've seen a lot of Zoomers say that they're a big fan of a video game, but all they have done is watch livestreamer play through it.I hate that shit. You know, this reminds me of people saying they're a fan of specific youtubers. I just don't get how you can become a fan of a youtuber, it's on the same level as someone telling me they're a fan of a blogger who just posts opinions of hobbies and new movies or video games. It's silly. This summer I went to a big anime con and since a lot of Japanese artists, musicians, writers, video game developers, etc. refused to come as guests because of covid they invited a shit ton of French youtubers instead and these guys were signing autographs for fans. I just couldn't even picture it, like what can you even get signed by a guy who badly films himself to argue that Goku is stronger than Naruto from his badly decorated bedroom? No, fuck off with that shit.
>But a huge difference I feel is that Millennials had a degree of naivete about this that Zoomers lack.It all depends on whether they use the internet a lot and what they do online. As a late millennial, I saw some crazy shit online when I was a kid and then teenager, so I made sure to prevent my zoomer sister from seeing that shit and my other sisters and I taught her internet safety and etiquette because my boomer parents didn't know anything about it. I suspect that zoomers either have parents like mine but are too young to have received classes about this at school like I did when the internet and PCs at home weren't completely widespread yet, or they have gen X parents or early millennial parents who think the kids will pick that up themselves somehow. My sister didn't even know what a furry was until a few months ago and she's 18, and now she thinks they're just silly cosplayers, so I consider my job done. If my cousin didn't joke about furries being retarded to her she still wouldn't know.

I hate when people that age make out like its anything more than a passing phase for most sane people. The few older people/couples I met who were still into it.. were all sorts of dyfunctional and just stunted or plain
abusive. It's not glamorous when you see the type of people who stick around in that scene longer term.

While teenagers not taking warnings about older men is frustrating, a lot of you clearly don't realize that all of that behavior is because of men. Blaming teenagers instead of men is what pedophilic and predatory scrotes want.

>My parents taught me basic stuff like don't put your face name address etc on the internet.Parents don't do it as much as they did when I was a kid. I think it's because at the time, not having access to the internet at home was still the norm despite families getting computers more and more, so it was treated as new and everyone had to be explained how that shit worked. Now it's treated the same way as, idk, cooking, if you're parents teach you young how to cook well when you're young that's great, if they never do and you have to learn by yourself you'll make more mistakes until you're good at it and

I just don't get how you can become a fan of a youtuber, it's on the same level as someone telling me they're a fan of a blogger who just posts opinions of hobbies and new movies or video games. It's silly. This summer I went to a big anime con and since a lot of Japanese artists, musicians, writers, video game developers, etc. refused to come as guests because of covid they invited a shit ton of French youtubers instead and these guys were signing autographs for fans. I just couldn't even picture it, like what can you even get signed by a guy who badly films himself to argue that Goku is stronger than Naruto from his badly decorated bedroom? No, fuck off with that shit.This is true and it reminds me of what happened with Vidcon earlier this year. At Vidcon a lot of the old school YouTubers who actually did make engaging content like Smosh didn't end up going to the event because of Covid and so instead, they invited a bunch of Tik-Tok people and from what I heard, the whole event was boring as shit because Tik Tok creators don't make actual engaging content. Doing stupid little dances and miming to popular music is not engaging ad it's not the same caliber of YouTubers who actually put time and effort in things like skits or fully detailed reviews and the like.
I know you said that you don't understand how one can become a fan of a YouTuber but if we're talking YouTubers who actually make engaging content, it's actually quite simple to become a fan or at least admire their work.

GenZ got shafted materially, but ALSO got fucked over mentally.
While Millennials are also fucked, we were at least ONCE normal kids and teens before failing at home ownership and marriage. Zoomers however were fucked at every stage of development, never learned to read or write properly, can't think, were raised on tablets and smartphones, and have the attention span of a fly.
Arguably you could say it started even before they came out of the womb–I honestly believe the distinct "Zoomer" look that everyone under 22 has today is due to some weird hormonal effect from microplastics. It literally just never began for Zoomers, no hate meant just my honest opinion.

I also feel like their bodies are shaped differently from ours but I'm not totally sure. It feels like women in the 2000s had lower waists and shorter hips.

No. 1366652

I have noticed many of them look older than they are though. I would've attributed it to styling and makeup since looks that were reserved for grown women are now being pushed on younger and younger teen girls but that mostly applies to the preteens/very young teens ime. The older ones and young 20 somethings always catch me off guard with their age because they look older to me with or without makeup - even the ones that purposefully style themselves in a juvenile way. Their faces just look more mature than I expect.
Their style is absolutely atrocious though. Millennials weren't a whole lot better but
>>1315184 is right. I was stoked to hear baggier pants and more masculine silhouettes were coming into style for women but holy shit they had to choose the ugliest and frumpiest ones. There's also very little variety among the different sub styles. There are a million micro trends and somehow still so little individuality.
And it's rare for me to meet someone younger than me that doesn't have a bunch of shitty stick and poke tattoos all over their body. No cohesive layout, no interesting designs. It's always just some dinky little doodles that belong more in a notebook margin than on your body forever. I feel like such a geezer complaining about those damn kids and their tattoos but I have no issue with tattoos conceptually. I just dislike ugly ones lol

>>1373500Because your generation is being groomed. If the kids sexualise themselves it’s the kids fault not the predators and don’t you know children are more knowledgeable about sex then adults, heck even unborn babies know more. And if a child can determine their sexuality and decide they want to be penetrated or capable of penetrating (bottom surgery which is often where hormones lead) then surely they can consent to sexual activities with an adult because adults are stupid and children are so smart.
I literally went through the same shit as a kid from groomers and predators, “you’re so mature for your age! Wow you’re so smart how did you know that? You’re so pretty, I’m surprised you talked to me. You’re just so specially, you’re my favorite. I’ll be so sad if you don’t give me a hug.”

Obviously its not but that’s where some places are trying to take it. Just keep in mind that pedophiles help other pedophiles, that’s why safe guarding is so important because once you have one whose found a fertile feeding ground they will invite their friends or cover for other predators.

showing up in class. The final semester with the thesis writing and final exams was a nightmare since people couldn't even stick to the format and almost half of our grade ended up failing to meet requirements, no kidding. And this wasn't even like a difficult major.

>>1384742I’m noticing this more and more about zoomers, they’re really easy to spot because they’re the idiot talking out their ass.
I don’t think they realize that understanding something comes with certain markers. It’s like say, learning guitar and strumming with your fingers. If you practice enough you’ll develop callouses but if you don’t you won’t and someone who plays guitar can tell you don’t because your fingers are baby soft but someone who doesn’t play guitar might not notice because they don’t know you develop callouses from practicing a lot.
So they walk through life as true pretenders hoping no one will notice they’re not as competent as they claim but also thinking they are as competent as they claim. So they just get angry or petty and call you the idiot because you can see they’re missing the markers of true experience and understanding.
At this point I think it’s hilarious, in a few short years as they flood the tech industry further with their faux knowledge we’ll see a massive downswing in apps being functional (already starting to happen) and the internet becoming full on designed for retards. Everything will have a screen reader so you won’t even have to read because reading is oppression! If anything happens to the internet, I fear for zoomers survival because they don’t seem able to do anything without tech.
The silver lining of that is that hopefully as they get older they all push back hard against the commodification of their existence and objectification of their bodies and produce a generation of humble children willing to step it up and actually learn so they aren’t as ignorant as their parents.

A lot of youth fashions have been about thrifting old stuff from your parents' and grandparents' generation and combining it with modern basics and then maybe modifying it a bit until you have something new.
There's less motivation to do that when fast fashion companies just churn out whatever the trending concept is day after day and the thrift stores are filled up fast fashion anyway.
I do see some zoomers trying to combine things into new combinations but it still feels kind of suffocated and uninspired. Every generation needs a controversial look that seems to come out of nowhere and take over, and i've yet to see that because it's way too obvious where every idea comes from.

It’s the same rehashes of the past 30 years unless you go somewhere for a 50s-80s vibe but, still, it’s all been done before.i agree but i don't think there's a simple solution. imo a lot of the most memorable unique styles emerged out of necessity (taking whatever clothes were available to you and trying to make them look cool) or artsy people fucking around with outfit ideas until they found something interesting. Both of these are very unlikely when there's an oversaturation of aesthetic imagery and clothing choices, combined with a sense of urgency to have a very realized style right now for social media approval. I think good style is like good art in that you need the patience and self trust to be able to recognize inspiration and act on it, as often or as rarely as it comes. having abundant but low quality material and a lot of pressure is not conducive to that. it's the equivalent of giving someone a bunch of comedy material and telling them to be funny right now.
i also think zoomers get stuck in style comfort zones so damn quick. i remember thinking the layered fairycore(?) style was kinda cute and had some potential but then it immediately stopped developing and became the same 3 outfits over and over again. it actually reminds me of how AI image generators behave where you notice a couple cool compositions in the beginning but then they just repeat endlessly in a feedback loop.

>>1393747>i don't think there's a simple solutionOfc not and I’m not hating just stating.
But the aesthetic and realizable/easily replicatably things are what’s trendy so when do we get something different? You don’t have to succumb to the fast fashion industry that’s a choice. Trends are a choice but they’re so prevalent now that there’s nothing invigorating, and therein lies the problem. “-cores” are a huge factor that exacerbates the issue. Everything has to lumped into this group and you have a certain laid out aesthetic. There’s nothing original or out of the norm, even if it’s considered “alt” it’s all curated.

>>1393769>There’s nothing original or out of the norm, even if it’s considered “alt” it’s all curated.yes exactly. that's kind of what i was trying to express with fairycore. styles have no room to breathe and become overexposed, named, and mass produced the minute after they're posted. even making your own stuff doesn't protect you. look what happened to the crafty DIY crochet and beaded stuff that people were making during the pandemic lol.
the trend cycle just seems way too fast. if interesting styles from decades ago were first thought of today, i think they would just be chewed up and spit out and wouldn't be able to develop.

Sometimes I wonder if zoomers never learned to use the internet and they get from place to place by just mashing they're fingers on the screen randomly like they did when they were toddlers. They always act like every minor indignity they face is being visited on them personally.

>>1393747Adding on to this, there's been a significant decline in participation in real life social activities (something that comes to mind is the book Bowling Alone). I think this is due in part to the 'cringe' factor that comes with being proactive in anything that other anons mentioned earlier which zoomers seem to be beholden to.
American zoomers rarely engage with each other outside of school and 'application boosting' extracurriculars that are monitored by the their parents since our shitty urban sprawl limits autonomy for those who can't drive (this can also explain some of their general lack of autonomy and weird reliance on authority figures to resolve conflicts). Subcultures are formed from social exchange, shared interests, and the environment they are formed in (such as music subcultures being formed around curated record stores in the past). The environment current 'subcultures' and their associated fashions are formed in is the internet, which like mentioned before moves at such a fast rate that none of it has any breathing room anymore, and rarely has any extra meaningful dimension to it since there's no (or superficial) reasoning to why these fashion and music choices are made. There's history and reasoning behind the shoulder pad blazers of the 80s, or the micro skirts of the 60s, zoomers just see these and want to vicariously escape from a present they think is doomed. That's why it's so vapid.
>>1395611sorry for the blog post
As someone who's on the older end of the zoomer generation, I feel you. I still have some social media though I rarely check them anymore because it's taken a toll on me, but everyone I know has tiktok and can't go a minute without checking their phones or trying to shove it in my face. I almost never agree with any of the gender spechul, muh mental health (DID shit, not talking about people who really struggle with depression etc.) politics they spout, and I have to keep my mouth shut or else I'll be a social pariah. It wasn't always like this though, I've noticed a shift in the people I know identifying as nonbinary and suddenly 'developing' tics around 2019, which is when the clock app really started kicking off, I'm sure it started before then but I think this is when our generation really became infected.
Anyways, stay strong. There's good people out there, you just have to find them.

I've seen so many tik toks (unwillingly) pop up on IG Reels and so many of them are trying to re-invent the wheel, but in ways that won't work or will do no harm.

>>1066254being a zoomer makes me want to an hero sometimes because this feeling of cultural stagnation is really stifling. it feels like everything worth doing creatively has already been done, like there will be no
new styles, no new genres, like everything will just be a reboot of a reboot ad infinitum. what will our generation have to show for itself when we are older? nothing, just empty consoomerism, euphoria, and "aktivism" whatever the fuck that even means. so lame. my perception of things is super warped because im very pessimistic but i just can't shake this feeling like i missed out on the good times, do any other zoomer anons feel this way or am i just depressed?

You know, as an older Millennial, I'm genuinely envious of Zoomers' unapologetic confidence.
They talk about how awesome they are, lipsync over sarcastic/snarky jokes, do choreographed dances alone in their rooms and put ALL OF THIS on the internet which feels so different to me. When I was in high school, the "cool" thing was to act like you didn't really put a lot of effort into anything. You also couldn't compliment yourself or really share something interesting about your life without being considered "full of yourself" or bragging, and making flirty faces while lipsyncing and dancing alone at a camera would be laughed at and called weird.
And yet here Zoomers are, doing these little performative faces and corny dances, sharing their hobbies and quirks with the world and just being themselves. Something about it seems so freeing.
Then again, I don't know if it's just because most of the Zoomers I see are on social media/IG/TikTok, so I'm seeing the ones who ARE putting themselves out there.

>>1399806I call this "speaking in memes". I tried to talk with people with that mentality (even 22yos) and all they say is "ME" when they relate instead of engaging in a dialogue if they relate so much. Almost everything they say are reactions based on memes, they also mostly only care about something if it's meme related, parodying or containing memes or when it's a show popular enough to be memed online.
And yeah noticed the grammar too. I usually ignore these posts, might make them mad, but it's not my job to decipher other people's cryptic posts, it's their job to communicate in a way that others they want to talk with understand them.
Also, fuck all that stilted overreacting with CAPS and STDRTWQ%WDAUSE)§=!§)° key smashing or meme gifs as responses instead of words.

This isn't a new observation by any means… these days in social media, especially TikTok, all you see are attractive people most of the time. I feel like average looking zoomers are starting to perceive themselves as ugly even though they may be average. The way that the internet reacted to dreams face reveal is probably why so many faceless content creators want to stay faceless. Not only because they may be insecure or want their privacy, but also because of the high expectations viewers have on them.
zoomers are already calling average people (let’s be real, mostly women) ugly. Even celebrities who are not hot are called ugly even when they’re still above average, It doesn’t just make people fee bad about themselves, but also to have higher standards for others

teenagers are hormonal and therefore want to experiment and feel independant, not that they're right in this as its dangerous and they don't know what they're doing. you've been one too and if you haven't felt the same then surely you've seen your peers do, at least from a distance?
