If you are a Millennial, say something positive about Gen Z

If you are Gen Z, say something positive about Millennials.

If you are Gen X or older, pick a generation and say something positive about them.

If you are Gen Alpha, you are not allowed to post on lolcow.farm.

I like how Gen Z bucks previous fashion trends of everything being skintight and revealing, opting instead for oversized shirts and baggy pants. The skimpy stuff still exists, but there’s more options now.

Mellennial here, I want to say this about all the generations under me-you guys are coping with shit well in general. I thought things were bad in my day and we are still going through shit (like having to go back to live with our parents and how older generations fucked the system for all of us) many of you dont tolerate the shit we did (Was horrible being a teenage girl in the 2000's very messed up messaging aimed at us) dont listen to people, especially older creeps who say you are prudes we got this shit too when we were younger and dont lower you're standards for entitled old fugly moids I hope the best for all of us.

Even though Millennials can be cringe with their humor, I appreciate the nostalgia it gives me for the old “so randum XD!!!” days, and the Jenna Marbles style humor I loved so much in middle school.

what do you guys think about this? as a millennial i was ready to get defensive but i think he makes a lot of good points. something about gen z feels even more doomed than what we were given by the baby boomers. also, it's a fucking tragedy how "playing with friends outside all day til the streetlights came on" isn't common in gen z.

Um, yes it was? Gen Z isn’t gen alpha, we went outside and played with friends. Our childhoods were relatively normal just like millennials, we would even watch many of the things millennials even grew up on which is why a lot of millennials know high school musical, kim possible, etc.

This is why I want to connect with zoomers as a millennial tbh. We are literally the only two generations who had time without smartphones/tablets/constant tech for our entire lives. I know some zoomers are closer to gen alpha, and I personally had a few years of my life without a computer in the house at all, but we are the most similar in this way and someday when we’re all at the nursing home we’re going to be reminiscing on life before tech completely took humans over.

Gen Z is at that slightly precarious time where some of them are going to reach their late 20s soon and get negged by older scrotes about the “wall” and pitted against Millennial women.
I hope we can support eachother — millennials should look out for and protect zoomer girls and zoomer girls should defend (befriend?) millennial women from being reframed as the “enemy” by men

I’m not exactly sure how to explain what I’m saying, but I know that our two generations are close enough together to be experiencing a lot of the same bullshit and in the long run we’re going to have a lot in common. We should try to be on each others team, not be divided.

(Plus both generations have plenty of “cringe” so we might as well just roll with that)

I (younger Millennial) was talking to my mother (older Gen X) a few days ago about politics and even though she's kind of a stereotypical liberal/centrist, it reminded me that 25-30 is not old because she casually mentioned remembering the segregation era since it ended when she was growing up. Even if it's anecdotal, hearing about these things from someone who lived it is so much different than reading about it.

As a zoomer, I have always admired millennial women, and lately have been feeling greatful for them. The Me Too movement was becoming mainstream when I was a child and with the widespread news and social media posts, I learnt very quickly what was supposed to be normal behavior and what was predatory. I was able to protect myself from an earlier age because of millennial feminists before me, and I have them to thank for it.
Slightly on topic, I also feel a twinge of nostalgia for a lot of tumblr trends that were popular among millennials, like picrel, despite never browsing tumblr at that age.

When were you born? I was born in the early 2000's and I remember those tumblr trends and aesthetics and even making my own decoden phone case. Perhaps if you're late 2000's you weren't old enough to have used the dumpster fire that was tumblr in the early to mid 2010's. I'd say to consider yourself lucky, but honestly the state of things on every site and app now are just as bad if not worse.

I’m also a zoomer. I’m very worried about gen alpha (and beyond). My parents always encouraged me to play outside and limited my screentime, but I still turned out terminally online kek. Tiktokfags make me sad. So many kids today are straight up illiterate with a broken attention span. The pandemic and online learning probably made it even worse. I just hope we can do better by the next generation.

I hate zoomers because they think they understand everything because they have the internet. I’m a millennial and I know having internet access only helped break me. It feels pointless to have genuine concern for people who want to call you old and dismiss your opinions and meanwhile want to wear the jeans you wore in middle school and pretend to be informed. I never hated x-ers. I only relatively recently started hating boomers. I just want gen z to fucking listen when people are screaming and waving red flags. I didn’t have automatic disrespect for older people when I was younger so they seem so hostile and weird to me. But I guess I like that they normalized baggy pants for the moment. Congrats on the pants, stop putting so much value in something inherently fleeting as youth you fucking freaks.(wrong thread)

They can be annoying but 9/10 times they are like this do to having an iPad or smartphone shoved in their faces since they were literal babies.

I think every generation has it's positives and negatives. I'm a young millennial, born the last year of being called a millennial so I spent a lot of time around zoomers growing up. I know they get hated on a lot and some of it is justified but at the same time a lot of them grew up predominantly online so I can see why some of them act the way they do. I will say I admire a lot of them for their creativity, their sense of humor, and the way they don't seem to fear judgement like other generations do.

I like the Gen Z female everyday style that I see on the street. They look comfortable and cute. The ones with revealing tops tend to pair with baggy pants and there's makeup, but it's better than the makeup I saw a few years ago. Gen Z grew up with the internet, so I have more interests in common with them than I have with the older millennials around me. Some interests were not only seen as cringe but straight-up bad. You would seriously be excluded for liking the most normie shit possible like a band or a movie. Zoomers seemed to have embraced variety a bit more than the previous generations.

This just reminded me, one thing I admire is how many millennials seem very conscious of wanting to treat children well. Obviously there are the bad parents who do the iPad baby stuff too but I often see millennials advocating for meeting children's emotional needs, protesting physical discipline, treating daughters in particular respectfully, etc. Stuff like apologizing to your kid if you messed up or teaching them that nobody is allowed to touch them in ways that make them uncomfortable. Sometimes some people can get very hypercorrective and kinda act as if you need to be a perfect saint to even consider having a child but I recognize that it comes from a place of really wanting the best for children. I hope to have children someday and I think I have learned a lot from millennials about things I want to get right when I'm a parent. The screentime is a big one for sure… not a good element of my childhood
