I’m 26 and I’ve been alive for all that too. Felt the repercussions in school, and the workforce. I’m a byproduct myself, I dropped out of college during Covid. Did you have diseases that weren’t STIs in college? Then welcomed to the worst job market with mass layoffs and a system dripping in ineptitude. People with degrees can’t get jobs they studied and prepared for, college grads can’t get minimum wage jobs. My generation has the lowest spending power of any previous generation, with the greatest cheeto-made inflation skyrocketing prices.
Tldr
This isn’t a stick measuring competition, just to say everyone is feeling bad rn and that’s not OK. It’s a class war, not a culture war. If only I could convince my parents that classes aren’t just for schools
Most individuals and media outlets that used “millennial” as a derogatory descriptor clearly just meant “young people” since they continued using it for Gen Z anyway. So fuck all the ageist drivel. As far as I’m concerned Gen Z are young millennials. I don’t care who was born in ‘99 vs ‘00, who’s old enough to remember 9/11, or whatever other arbitrary delineation has been proposed. We share too many of the same problems to be divided that easily.
