Quit trying to impress children. Who gives a shit what their preferences are.
Gen Z is almost 30
Yeah. Gen Z is getting boring.
Can we divide out the next generation already so we can make the same claims about them we’ve been making for 500 years again?
No.
Stop making new generations.
Whoever’s doing it really sucks at coming up with names.
Gen AA
They’ve got like 3 years left.

I ain’t trying to impress people in their 20’s then. And I’m going to laugh as they try to keep up with these broken ass skibidi toilet kids.

Like they said: children.
About to turn 27 and the existential dread is really kicking in.
The gen that brought back mullets and serial killer glasses think my fashion choices are cringe?
I’ll allow them to wear what they like and we’ll both shut up about it, thanks.
Agreed, but I for one love the mullets
You are objectively wrong!
But folks are allowed to like things that I don’t.
You do you.
Calm down, boomer. You’re just jealous your hairline is disappearing faster than your chances of retiring someday. I, on the other hand, will never retire. But I have a luscious, full mullet to get me through these trying times
Uh, who cares? Use what you want people
99% of the time with this shit no one’s heard of it because it’s not happening.
Agreed. I’m not much of a contrarian, but I certainly wouldn’t value the likes and dislikes of a bunch of ipad babies who judge people by the quality of their fortnite skin.
Alright but I think you are incredibly undervaluing the experience when your tricked out Allmight skin starts to tektonik dance over the death pixels of a muscular Peter Griffin.
…tektonik is re-alive?
Thought that died out 10 years ago and got overtaken by shuffling lol.
It lives in Fortnite now lmao

Why should anyone care what GenZ thinks?
This isn’t something “gen z” thinks though this is just bullshit on Twitter
I look forward to inflicting terminal cringe on gen z
I would upvote but the count is at 69, so you get a 👍
I don’t care what the zoomers like or don’t like. Fuck them kids
please, don’t fuck them kids
There are zoomers in their mid 20s. I’ll consensually fuck whomever I please.

Zoomer here. This is the first I’m hearing of this. Though this isn’t the first time I’ve seen people make up bullshit to get mad at younger people.
What I’m not understanding is letting kids dictate what’s cool as if cool was ever dictated by anyone but me 😎
Right? You stopped doing something because a bunch of high schoolers think it’s cringe?
It’s weird, companies have always let young people dictate culture for money reasons, but I’ve never really thought about it being adults scared of what kids think. Like…have some personality? Have some kind of sense of who you are and what you like. Fuck what kids think about unimportant trends. We should listen to them when it comes to social issues, because that’s just called progress. But this just strikes me as such a weird way to think.
Me hearing that people give a shit what gen Z think.
I was thinking this.
I’m gen Z and I don’t even give a shit
As a millennial I’ma have to just come out and say it:
The way we’re all pilling on gen-z and saying they’re all dumb for this… It’s giving Boomer. Not a good look.
Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don’t have to try to be cool forever. We’re old now, folks, it’s ok
Unless I’m reading it wrong, both people here are trying to look cool in front of Gen Z, and are giving up things they like in order to accomplish that.
My general understanding is that the Millenials really like Gen Z. I know I do, they seem funnier, smarter and more socially conscious than the groups I grew up with.
You’re reading it right. Not sure how one could read this any other way.
However, misunderstanding content online is often framed as a boomer thing so OP’s comment still works surprisingly well.
Gen Z here. Your interpretation seems correct to me, but I’m also on the way older end of the generation.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s super common for millenials to hate on gen Z for stupid stuff the same way boomers do, but this thread is not an example of it. It’s just a bunch of people saying “do what you want, don’t need to be cool” and playful teasing.Also, it might just be because I’m on the older end, but I haven’t even heard of anybody from my generation cringing at any of these things. Either there’s a bigger divide between older and younger than I thought, or we’re getting accidentally lumped in with gen alpha again.
My youngest sister (turning 18) compared me to my boomer aunt, when I was using gifs in a chat with her. I’m in my 30s, being told you are the same as one of the most boomer persons you know, caused some form of psychic damage I wasn’t prepared for…
Huh. Most of my friends are in the older gen Z and younger millenial range and reaction GIFs are everywhere in every chat we have. I’m just about the only one who doesn’t use them, and it’s not because I find them cringy, they’re just not my style.
I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)
OK Boomer
Ok coomer
ok cooter
What’s up with ankle socks?
Was just thinking I should get a couple more. They’re perfect for running.
The people who wear white socks with slides in public have something to say about my ankle socks? Get off my lawn, idiot kids.
I very recently bought my very first ankle socks because it was so damn hot. And a couple wife-beaters which I had never worn in my life. I guess I turned the age where I don’t give a fuck. And get off my lawn.
You can afford a lawn?
In Minecraft.
Mine’s in Draenor.
