Yes!

Gen Z is a bunch of brats full of cringe, but at least they're not actively fucking us over.

Also, what is gen X? Just kidding. I know what they are, just not what they've done exactly...

If gen z is cringe, it's because they were taught the art of cringe from their parents lol.

Honestly I'm pretty sure the cringe is a coping mechanism, and I don't blame them.

I don't cringe at the generations after me, I cringe at the old farts that came before. I am rooting for those that come after me. I am nearly 30 now, so my time is coming to an end. I want my headstone to say "bash the fash".

My point still stands. Fuck those old farts.

Gen z here. Not really wrong. But the reason I like the cringe is that it's a very slight distraction from how completely and utterly fucked the world is, and how much more fucked it gets every day, how I'll most likely never own a house, not even a tiny patch of land, how fucked we are with climate change, so on and so forth. I just want to enjoy the slight moments of weird humour we have before it's all gone forever and we all die

Millenial here. You're right. We're fucked.
